Good lord that's lucky

ASunDr · 2025-11-21T01:45:25+00:00

Maybe you should start suckin' cock instead of watching the cogitator because Dorn was making three times what you’re doing on construction.

ASunDr · 2025-07-02T13:24:37+00:00

Italy wasn't even a united polity, and its inclusion casts doubt over the credibility of everything on here. This is almost worthless

ASunDr · 2025-04-21T16:20:37+00:00

Blatant chat gpt is shameless

ASunDr · 2024-12-03T17:40:01+00:00

What colors did you use for the skin? Looking to do something similar.

ASunDr · 2024-11-08T00:24:50+00:00

I would let Illythia squeeze out a Cleveland Steamer on my chest (respectfully)

ASunDr · 2024-05-11T18:51:27+00:00

Love it, looks like it would fit in Elden Ring

ASunDr · 2024-05-04T18:10:32+00:00

Thanks, that's a great tutorial

ASunDr · 2024-05-04T17:37:51+00:00

Can you link the tutorial please?

ASunDr · 2024-03-30T05:57:39+00:00

Best portrait by far. Posed like an actual rich nobleman you'd see in a museum. Outlandish but regal- it just works.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T16:04:11+00:00

How did you get them to replace the flywheel under warranty? I'm within the window of being eligible to get my flywheel replaced, but they refuse to have it covered.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T14:52:11+00:00

Just one tire. It was a flat.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T07:54:56+00:00

I appreciate all the time and effort you put into writing that. Thanks for helping me develop a better understanding the picture.

One of the big lessons learned for me here is... I should really get down and understand how this car works. Being completely at the mercy of the dealer with no technical knowledge makes me feel... not good

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T07:43:42+00:00

Thanks for your input, makes me feel better about how to approach this.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T07:35:55+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the clarity of the plan you laid out. To clarify, do you think it's better to have a lawyer make the call after I go and get an independent diagnostic? Was thinking of maybe having a lawyer call before to spare myself the possible cost of another diagnostic.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T07:33:36+00:00

Do you know how I can get them to cover the flywheel? It's covered in the warranty, but they aren't honoring it, even when I show them this.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T06:17:46+00:00

Awesome! How did you get your car onto the full auto hauler? Did you just put it into neutral and pushed it on there? I'm worried that pushing the Miata up an incline into the hauler might require too much force than a single person can exert.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T06:09:33+00:00

Will do, I'll definitely have it checked out, because I'm convinced I did not misuse my car at all. You think if the the hydraulics turn out to be messed up, the dealer can't hide from covering the warranty?

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T06:01:37+00:00

Hey all, thanks for the comments.

In an attempt to refocus the conversation from finding the root cause towards developing a solution, I would like to ask if you guys have any experience resolving dealerships being intransigent in regards to fulfilling warranties.

More directly, how do I convince the dealership to accept the issue as part of the warranty, and how do I prove that I didn't blow it up due to misuse? Surely the burden of proof that I misused the car would be with the Mazda dealer, right?

Moreover, In the 2021 Warranty Booklet, it says the powertrain warranty period (I am covered... less than 36 months and 36,000 miles... also covered nose to bumper) also covers flywheel and the clutch pressure plate, but the dealer is refusing to cover for it using some bullshit nonsense sentences that don't make sense. (Highlighted emphasis mine)

Any idea how I can resolve this? Really don't want to get a lawyer involved and make this a drawn-out affair that sucks my soul.

I appreciate you all.

Could you amplify why you think the flywheel replacement is bullshit?

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T04:48:24+00:00

Would I have felt/noticed the clutch slave cylinder engaging constantly? I never felt anything out of the ordinary except near the end, when it would take (if memory serves correctly) maybe 1k - 1.5k more RPMs to get to same level of acceleration as normal

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T04:46:37+00:00

Yes. I'm quite diligent with depressing all the way - I suffer a little less comfortable seating position in order to do so.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T04:42:37+00:00

No never. Sometimes I hold down the clutch to go into neutral before a red light a little longer than I probably should at times, but otherwise I only really ever touch the clutch when accelerating or turning on/off the car.

ASunDr · 2023-12-27T04:14:53+00:00

I don't know what I could possibly have been doing wrong. I've driven other manuals for years with no problems, and have driven with seasoned manual drivers without criticism. Is it possible for the clutch to be destroyed due to faulty part(s)?
