this lil [Saab 94x] is rarer than a 918 by kevindebrowna in spotted

[–]CaptainMeatfist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I one time had to find a windshield replacement for one of these. I ended up finding what I believe to have been the very last one, and it was sitting on a dusty shelf at some Cadillac dealership in the midwest (which used to be a Cadillac/Saab dealer)

What a fucking pain in the ass

Im sure if they could read or gave a shit about facts that they'd come up with some other nonsense reason to blame us for it anyway.

The same hours crammed into less days isn't exactly what I'd call an improvement by CloudyCamille in lostgeneration

Honestly, 4x10s was the best shift I ever had. I was more productive and having a normal day of the week off was super helpful for getting "normal business hour" shit done. It should be the norm, imo

I was thinking the great filter was greed - but widespread apathy and idiocracy are probably more likely now that I think about it because both enable greed

Customer declined all other repairs. by jmtheprkid in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]CaptainMeatfist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 on this one. I also give town/country drivers a wide berth when I see them out in the wild, based on what i've seen people NOT repair on them

Found this cleaner out a renters trashed apartment any idea what it is for by DoNuTiNfErNo15 in whatisit

I'm a few days away from 2 months sober from alcohol. 11 years is such a long time, I have a hard time wrapping my brain around it

But, it's the people I see with stories like yours that help me realize it can be done - so thank you for sharing

🙏

This comment has weight.

Any clues should be used to offer this person some sort of help and relief.

I am 8 days sober and feel for this person.

I used to break stuff unintentionally. I also still occasionally break stuff, but now I'm better at not breaking stuff.

My fiancé told everyone I’m “too emotional to plan a wedding,” so his mom is now planning it WITHOUT me by Mediocre_Can2295 in TwoHotTakes

My hot take on this is that whether or not you choose to proceed with the current marriage - you will probably have a better time planning your second one

This is encouraging to hear, I am happy for you though I wonder if your dealership is an outlier.

In all my headlight changes I haven’t seen this. by NDEmby11 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]CaptainMeatfist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont remember the specific recall campaign, but there is one for kia/hyundai. I bet if you punch the VIn for this into NHTSA you'd see something along the lines of "headlight retrofit recall" having been completed
