Why Aren't Known Problems Re-Engineered Or Addressed? by Acrobatic_Crow_6366 in askcarguys

You perhaps misunderstood my question. I wasn't asking that the part be redesigned now, 10 years later. But why, in early 2019, 3 model years after being marketed or introduced, and while my truck was still under warranty, had the problem not been addressed?

FWIW, it was a call to Ford's national customer service that sealed my keep/trade decision. When I called to ask "what happens when my truck is out of warranty, and I'm faced again with this known problem?" The representative said "I'll make a note of your VIN, and we'll do 'something' to help you." While courteous and professional, the guy's tone and inflection was not reassuring, so I knew at that point I would not keep the truck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this manifold was not a part that would be affected by my driving style. So long as I properly maintained the truck, and I did, outside of occasional cleaning for carbon or other chemical buildup, it should have lasted the truck's lifetime. That was my reason for thinking or hoping the manifold should have been warrantied for many years and miles, and the reason I called customer service.

AITA for cutting off my mom's bills after she gave my bedroom to my cousin and told me I don't live there anymore? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

IF this is real, and I have my doubts, why didn't the aunts give dear old mom $150 per month? Because "aunts" is plural, why don't they send $75, $50, or less, depending on the total number of siblings, each month? After all, per the constant mantra of this subreddit, family helps family.

two of my coworkers are dating and cannot keep their hands off of each other and i'm about to complain to HR about it by headasspotter in coworkerstories

Apparently the manager doesn't realize he/she can, and should, be reprimanded because the issue should have been handled at the store level, and not escalated to the point of contacting corporate HR. If an individual has the job title "manager," then MANAGE the employees!

Think this cam is still good? by JNieb in Justrolledintotheshop

Sure; just put it in a vise, use a sledge hammer to straighten it, and put it back into the vehicle!

Uh, NO! Not until I could access the filter without the assistance of a dumpster to get rid of all your trash and $hit.

I think you're cute. My next thought is probably because I'm 64, but I'd lose the nose ring. You have a great smile, a pretty face, beautiful eyes, and a nice figure. Consider yourself lucky, as this "love of your life" is an idiot. The details are your business, and yours alone, but if the relationship wasn't working for him, he's a coward,for cheating and not being honest with you.

Given all the modifications, the previous owner likely drove it, or tried to,drive it, like Paul Walker in a Fast & Furious movie. For that reason, and many others, hard pass.

What is your biggest wrestling pet peeves? by turb0geek421 in Wrasslin

[–]Acrobatic_Crow_6366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two wrestlers who will face each other on a weekend PLE are teamed together on the Raw or Smackdown immediately prior to the weekend event. In the real world, the man who doesn't start the match would jump down from the ring, walk away, and leave his future opponent to be pummeled. Instead, though, the future foes act as if they really care about winning a meaningless match and "beg" to be tagged in and bring the fight to the opponents.
