Residency Evil posted:Even though I've been to the airport countless times, I'd never actually been to Detroit until today. When Grand tour did that Detroit episode earlier this year, I wondered how they managed to shut down such a long stretch of road in major city. It's probably not a surprise to anyone, but, uh, I figured it out.

Finally had to replace the 7 year old battery in my Mazda. Did batteries always cost $150? I'm sure I got robbed because it was stone dead and I couldn't wait for my dad's costco card (where they are apparently $80 somehow).

I wish I could have just bought the OEM battery, which was a made in japan panasonic. 7 drat years. It died at the gas station and barely could hold enough charge to start this afternoon, so I had to buy what was available, which was whatever autozone had.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:There's this stuff that falls from the sky called "snow". Would you believe it's frozen water? Good lord it's absolutly ghastly stuff. And would you also believe there's this thing that happens on cars called "rust"? It's true! Cars actually fall apart due to this substance. And everyone there is so polite and saying sorry all the time and there's no black and white birds trying to murder you. It's just... WRONG I tell you! That's the salt, not the snow. Like Washington sees very little rust because there's not much salt used. I wonder if BC is the same. CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I mean..... hockey sticks. Just wrong.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:In other more car-related notes, AAA really came through on my claims for my total-loss E46 and Aprilia V4R that got melted in my dad's garage fire. I was especially concerned about the motorcycle since it's somewhat rare in my area and had a factory/dealer-installed performance package I had no receipts for. The adjustor worked with me based on photographs I had, and they paid out just $650 shy of what I bought it for it five years ago. E46 prices are pretty much bottomed out right now, but I had recent glamor shots of it after I did a full claybar detail and those combined with the low milage got me a more than fair payout. Overall it was a very painless process and I'd definitely recommend them for auto insurance. FYI, this is absolutely the exception and I encourage anyone in California to dump AAA insurance like their HS girlfriend dumped them.

I got his by a car by a woman with AAA and with good coverage. She was at fault, it was on video (god bless bars that have fights so they have cameras on the street), and she admitted as such. They low balled the absolute poo poo out of me. They would not negotiate at all. So I took her rear end to small claims court. They made he go to court with no support. She also lived like 150mi away and had to be in court at 8am. They provided no support in court -- they can't send a lawyer, but they can send an adjuster, etc. No negotiation allowed by them. She again admitted fault. No facts in dispute. She was found 100% at fault. They wasted this paying customer's time over like $4k, sent her to court with no preparation or support, and were just generally lovely. It is one thing to make things suck for the other party, but it is quite another to just gently caress over your paying customer. Seriously, if you are an insurance company and your driver hits someone not in a car and it costs less than $10k, just loving pay out. If I wasn't a lawyer, I'd previously have called an injury lawyer who would have somehow make it costs twice as much. I just wanted to be made whole.

I had fireman's fund prior to their exit from the California market. Their claims were amazing and completely painless. OEM only parts, agreed value on everything -- limiting fights -- etc. They made only one major claim painless as were my minor claims. I hear they were amsolute dicks if you were the other car, but they treated their customers amazing. They also charged a bit more than average, but it was worth it for me. I miss them.

Dunno how the gently caress we're gonna get this visa poo poo done given how notorious Dept of Immigration here are but..... we'll work through it. Living in Canada for a while might actually be on to satisfy the "live together" requirement. So, 11 months ago, I booked a trip to hong kong, the cancel fee was outrageous, so here I am. This is outside my hotel. Cool.
