My parents' 16 year old LeSabre just puked all of its power steering fluid from the rack, and broke the serpentine belt. PS Pump is locked up. Looks like I'm car shopping for them again, though at 265,000 miles, I should have been prepared for the inevitable.

Parent rant: Dad gets a mailer from a car dealership, says he's won a prize, test drive a car to collect. Previously mentioned Buick is on last legs. He drives it to dealership, test drives a Hyundai Tucson and falls in love. Negotiates a killer deal on the Tuscon, gets more for the Buick than its worth. He calls me from the dealership and I confirmed that 18% off sticker and KBB retail for a 16 year old Buick with 265k miles was a good deal. I told him to call me when he gets to the finance office. I don't hear back for 4 hours. I found out he bought an extended warranty that almost completely mirrors the factory warranty for $3500, and takes financing that is 2x what it will be when he calls the loving credit union on Monday. And then leaves without his toaster or whatever the hell he "won". He says it's too much trouble to cancel the warranty and refinance, but wants me to listen to how he's a victim and there ought to be laws to protect him. I told him that a years worth of payments was absolutely worth spending another 4 hours at the dealership getting this worked out on Monday. At least it's a decent car and in the grand scheme of things he'll come out ahead if he'll get over himself. And get your drat toaster!

BigPaddy posted:Ugh why are single make/model forums such cesspools? I just want some info on my car and to get anything you have to dig through huge swathes of people sucking the dicks of certain vendors, trolls who own competing cars and general insufferable idiots. The worst is when there is more than one forum and the members of each fight like cats because their forum is the "official" one or some other BS. I like the ones where 90 percent of the topics are "performance" mods for models for which performance mods are completely illogical. And the mods are dubious at best.
