Solus posted:There's a bloke near selling a Manual 2003 350z for quite cheap (and its mechanically sound from my mates check over of it) and I've never been more tempted in my life. These are ok at best for that. They're heavy, require adjustable control arms to change the camber, and can't really make a whole lot more power than stock without forced induction. The traction control is pretty dated and really aggressive so short of turning it off completely it kind of sucks. Oh, and they get fuel starvation in turns, which there's a $500 solution for. Nothing is cheap to track except a miata.

tetrapyloctomy posted:I think Pennsylvania does, but I don't understand the ramifications here. Surely people have gotten their vehicles inspected not long after they had a dead battery. If the ecu puts out that code that says "monitors not set", you will fail your emissions inspection. If that's gonna be a problem, I suggest looking up the "OBD2 Drive Cycle" for your specific car, and following that to the letter. Most parts stores will pull codes for free, so you can check there and once your ecu comes back with no codes you should be good to go. E: Resetting the ECU can hide an existing problem that takes a while to actually trigger the trouble code, so if they find out it's been reset recently, policy is to assume that's what you're doing and fail your car.

This seems freaking weird, since looking up the drive cycle there's some stuff in there that seems pretty freaking specific to arise in normal driving. I have an OBD-2 dongle floating around somewhere and I'll see if there are some codes. Given how easily the thing fired up today I think it was more "oil like concrete" rather than "almost dead battery" anyway. Even if the monitors aren't set right now, my wife'll easily put a few hundred miles on it by the time it needs to get tested. Still, all of this is great to know since I had zero clue about it beforehand, thanks.

BlackMK4 posted:I dunno about other manufacturers, but you can buy the Hondacare 100k mile warranty from other dealerships after you buy your car. Some dealer on the east coast sells them for $1k. Yeah, we have Toyota ExtraCare or ToyotaCare Plus or whatever the hell we're calling it these days, and if I was going to pick an extended warranty, it'd be that one. Of course, I'm the one that has to twist the knife to get our dealership paid for claims on all of the garbage third party warranties we sell in the finance offices. Unbelievably difficult.

Rhyno posted:I have an end of service letter and confirmation number from Comcast with a final bill total of $45. When I moved state-to-state, years back, I cancelled my Verizon tri-pack service over the phone. A year later I get a phone call from Verizon, asking me if it's OK to transfer my service to the new resident. I said, "Transfer? What do you mean, transfer?" Yeah, they tried to charge me for 11 months of service at an address I'd moved out of, after canceling the service a month before I left and turning the equipment in. After much back-and-forth and paperwork-showing their best, GRACIOUS offer was to reduce the something-like-$1600-in-bill-and-late-fees to just under a grand. I ended up just telling 'em to gently caress off and to send it to a collection agency because they wouldn't budge. My credit rating took a hit but frankly, gently caress 'em.
