Sooooo, the dealer I bought a car off of back in July still hasn't given the Secretary of State a valid title for the car. They'd taken care of registration back when I bought it, (charging me $221 for the pleasure) and I assumed this whole time that the bank I'd financed with had possession of the title. Nope, I get a letter on the 20th from the S.o.S. saying that the most recent valid title for the car I've been driving and making payments on the past 5 months was issued one state over, back in 2013. I've contacted the dealership about it almost every day since Tuesday last week, and each time it's another excuse for why the person responsible for titles is unavailable to help me out right now. I've been keeping a log of it. After the 10th call, I'm told today the only person who can help me out (3rd down the referral chain) has been out sick for 2 weeks and "Was supposed to be back this Monday but call back Friday and we'll see where she is." I feel like they're jacking me around. How long should I wait to lawyer up? By all rights I should be able to drop the car off and get my full purchase price back, and I've got half a mind to do it.

On a scale of 1 to Weaboo, what kind of reactions can I expect if I were to mimic the paint scheme of a Japanese police car on my own vehicle? Picture for reference

Welp, stepdad is in a lovely situation with Walgreens. ... the sewers for his store backed up. I just took him dinner... he's been waiting for 2 1/2 hours for a plumber to show up. The restoration company has already showed up, but can't do poo poo until poo poo stops burping up from the floor drains. And his boss won't answer her phone or respond to any texts. They're gonna be pretty crappy about the overtime, but oh well, poo poo happens. (god I need to stop with the lovely puns) CharlesM posted:Umm my oven takes 6 minutes to warm up. You guys need to fix yours. It'll cost more to fix than to replace. And replacement really isn't in the cards right now. Even when it did work right, it still took about 20 minutes to heat up, since it's one of those high priced ovens that hides the heating elements under the floor of the oven instead of having them exposed. literally a fish posted:Chance's are it's just fuckt, it was probably a cheap crappy oven when it was new. Ours wasn't cheap, but definitely crappy. Both the dishwasher and wall oven (double oven of course) are Bosch. Guess which two appliances have given us the most trouble? (and the most magic smoke.. actually, the only magic smoke from any appliances)

They're not going to do anything for you. Call a lawyer tomorrow and at least find out your options. If you can, I'd park the car until you talk to a lawyer. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Nov 5, 2015 |

some texas redneck posted:Why the hell are you running the a/c when it's that nice outside? Or do the windows not open? Yeah, doesnt really have "Windows" as such... The side windows are the doors and supported by not a lot and hang out nearly a meter from the machine when open, so your asking for the first tree to destroy em and the back window if you open it basically inhales every piece of dust and chaff that the slasher kicks up straight down the back of your neck. Theres also the whole "Sitting on a tractor with a 4.7L diesel roaring away at 2250rpm in front of you, a 16 speed transmission howling away under you and an 8 foot slasher behind you with a 1000rpm driveshaft chewing up grass, rocks, logs, etc" that makes it painfully loud to have the doors open. Hence why the AC is a critical component.

One upside to doing delivery for DoorDash vs Pizza Hut:  I averaged 19-22 doing pizza. I'm driving a bit more (probably 1.5x as many miles per day), but the MPG, coupled with the somewhat reduced wear of driving nonstop for 10-15 minutes at a time instead of 3-5 minutes, kinda makes up for it (and the higher income really makes up for it).

My other friend who's 6'7" however can't even sit in the passenger seat with it all the way back without his knees on the dashboard.

That's the issue i had with the RX-7 at 6'9. there's a point where your knees can't pop under the dash into the footwell. a 36 inch inseam might be fine, a 38 inch inseam no god drat way.

ilkhan posted:At dentist. Mouth numb. Such a strange sensation. it is strange. I hadn't been to a dentist for over 20 years, but had to go to one a month ago because of a toothache so bad I wanted to jump in front of a truck (Didn't have the money for whisky so that was a viable alternative). Back row of teeth hurt so much I couldn't say for sure which tooth caused it, and their x-rays were showing nothing wrong. They kept suggesting maybe it was the wisdom tooth, I knew it wasn't, (I thought it was the second from the back). But because they weren't sure they sent me home. I guess to think about it? Anyway, a week later I found a better dentist, and because my pain wasn't so great I knew it was the third from the back and that dentist yanked it out. It had cracked in two along the middle after I bit into a bone months ago, but didn't hurt until recently. Being in my jaw and having an old filling on top of the crack is why it never showed up in x-rays, it split in two after being pulled out.

88h88 posted:Arseholes. What I wouldn't give to live some place extra ones weren't floating around. I have to move because the house I rent is being demolished. I had a promising lead today, decent location, a garage out the back old style where I could work on a car. Landlord is a bit of a slum lord, just wants rent, no maintenance costs, isn't fixing anything that is currently broken (like heater or a/c), or doing anything about the supershitty carpet and tiling. Suits me fine as that means the rent is cheap and less competition from the non DIY tenants. I'm used to living like that as long as they fix anything major (electrical, stove, hot water), I'm happy to do minor work, and even install free air cons. Mother loving arsehole vandals broke the fence down last night! (house is next to a vacant corner block with 7ft high dry weed grass as the house on that block was demolished a few months ago) Knowing what the the landlord is like, I don't even know what they are going to do. I have to be out in two weeks apparently... Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Once I'm in it... and you have to just accept that it's a car you wear, not a car you sit in. It took me a while to get used to clutching in the Forester without catching the brake pedal as well, since I have size 14 feet and wear steeltoe work boots every day, but it's second nature now.

I had my exit interview with boss, he told me that he's never seen an intern get on with a team as quickly as I did, nor has he met someone who was so keen to learn new things and that if he had a position available he would hire me on the spot, but he'll let me know if something pops up anywhere in the US or Australia  he also said that I would be a brilliant project manager
