Lots of emotional episodes outdoors, incoherent ranting at any hour, sometimes they are aggressive towards bypassers. To my knowledge nobody yet has tried to take advantage of this for youtube hits. That might be because the average age on our street is probably over 40 and the only two teenagers (my kids) don't have cell phones. I'd like to think that if some --cream-filled twinkie-- were out there obviously livestreaming this person a neighbor would smack the phone from their hand. |

--- Quote from: Nephasth on July 09, 2017, 01:39:33 am ---Keep us informed! --- End quote --- Update on my Truck. It took the techs a few days to look into the issue, Funny how diagnostics work, started at $350 jumped to $1500 and settled on $3800. Issue was traced to a bad sensor in the high pressure oil pump. So they replaced the sensor and the pump itself just to be sure. $$$ sucks but as long as its fixed right...Well no. I returned home two weeks later (thus the delay) and the truck is not right. It starts rough, as in barely starts. once it does it seems to run ok. so I drive it for a few days, leave a message at the shop, few more days, issue gets worse and take it back in. For whatever reason or some how the batteries are shot. They are only 2 years old. Top all this off and the night before my appointment at the dealership I get a flat tire. Truck is cursed I tell you. I was so frustrated I took the day off and had it towed in. Silver lining...They had it for 3 days, Diagnostics were free, fixed the tire under warranty, replaced the batteries, also under warranty, And they are going to honor a coupon that I had that my wife didn't know about when she picked it up that will save me $150 So still $3650 but I got a fixed tire and a set of two new batteries ($120 each) Sigh. but...a couple of injectors tested rough while they were looking. It's fine for now but eventually I'll have to do all 8 injectors. (~$3500) That's what I get for buying a used 7 year old truck...although I priced out a new one with all my options and it was over $60K Blue book looks to be about $13-14k, I paid under 20 4 years ago. I remember how much the depreciation hurt when I bought my jeep new. Anyway thanks for listening. I have to get back to work and make up that $$$ In the end I like my truck so its worth it...well almost |

Depreciation really only matters when you sell. If you're not going to sell it's not that big of a deal. It's not like you're going to take out a car equity loan. |

I told a car salesman back when I was 22 that there was no way I'd lease a vehicle, as I needed to build equity. "What are you gonna do, take out a second loan on your car?" Well, yes, maybe in case of emergency considering as I have zero other assets. Dick. |
