I think you've told part of that story before. Didn't the service manager land on his feet elsewhere? I'm telling you, these people who are motivated by getting away with something screw the pooch for the rest of us...and that applies on so many levels. I'm having my under-warranty oil...

I've never seen anything like that! At least, not from a copter. Texas Chainsaw Huey Just when you thought it was safe to congregate...

If I had a QuickJack (and your post has me looking at them), I'd be tempted to get a pair of 2x6s and route a channel down the middle for the pinch welds to sit in, then lay them on top of the sleds.

I've fished out of a belly boat. Nothing like being right at the surface of the water. Regarding your pic: The trees sure look like they could have some snakes in them.

I've yet to look for evidence. The only thing that may have motivated them to actually do it is (a) their HQ called them after my less-than-perfect feedback, (b) their Service Manager and I spoke directly about it, and (c) there was literally nothing else happening there due to the virus...

Man, that looks nice. I've done my share of white water rafting on some great rivers, but never tried kayaking. I see those guys blasting through rapids and see Ferraris while I'm stick on a bus. Do you fish out of that?

Too much virus time on your hands? ;) Maybe we need to start a Stir Crazy thread and just go bonkers..

I bet this is a weird forum glitch. The above is a copy/paste of that post from a different member. This user joined yesterday and posted that he just purchased a 2018 CX-5 GT. This one hit 3 minutes after that post.

I'm not a hardware propeller head, but the first thing I would do is maximize the amount of RAM you can have in that machine. That will minimize the hard drive I/Os, which mostly affects booting up, starting programs and saving files (when you have enough RAM.) A quick search shows that the...

The Service Manager at my dealer didn't even know they had dipsticks until we spoke on the phone and I told him I had the document right in front of me. He then looked up the service info for my VIN and still said "Must just be the turbo." So I know that they have never checked the transaxle...

That's about why my dealer said. But I've never heard such stories of that happening in any car, other than the risk of draining/flushing/filter-changing at high mileage. Just sounds so silly...transmission dipsticks have been there for a reason for a very long time, just as crankcase ones...

Don't let your neighbours know...it's YOUR fault!!!!

Same around the wheel well outlines. I guess it dresses up the edge of the plastic lining inside the wheel wells. At least that plastic protects the inside of the wells from rocks, salt, dirt, etc. My brother had a '67 Camaro. I recall washing it one day and poking my fingers through the...

And this is what shall forever astound me. They have zero self-awareness.

I'll have to check these out. I have a 3 car garage with (4) incandescent bulb fixtures. I've installed adapters and hung fluorescent lights in between the incandescents, but it's still not a lot of light. If I install 3 or 4 of these, will I need to wear sunglasses? Re: the original topic...

The state of Virginia was (is?) working on them. I was in the DMV maybe 5 years ago and University of Virginia had a beta simulator there, with a student asking folks to test it out and share their impressions. I gave it a shot. It was OK, somewhat "clumsy." I would not trust them to be a...

I just commented that I worked for a Japanese company. There was a period where American businesses tried to emulate their "Just In Time" manufacturing. (I was in Supply Management at the time.) Sure, you always want continuous improvement. But a large part of the Japanese "secret sauce" was...

I worked for a division of NEC back in the 80s. That's how things were then (and long before) and they haven't changed since. Banks have a vested interested in most (all?) the businesses, including entire supply chains. It's a different system than ours, and will benefit Mazda during these...

My dealer sent out an email for a completely "At Home" purchase experience: -Shop on line -Get financing on line -Close the deal on line -They'll deliver to your home
