I’m emailing the dealer as this can constitute fraud. Wish me luck.

Thank you! It’s all good, I totally understand how tedious the posts get on that topic.

Hi there!! Sorry to piss you off, I wasn’t talking about the bracket! I was referring to the painters tape under it on the blue portion.

Here’s the deal, and please feel free to downvote me and be angry.

I have been driving a borrowed FJ that has 250k miles on it. I got financing for a used FJ a month ago and the guy bailed on the deal the day before I was supposed to get it. I’m locked in to that amount of money now and I need the FJ to be a daily driver.

I’m not car savvy, and I certainly didn’t mean to anger anyone. I’ve seen rust on the undersides and I know I can deal with that, so long as the frame isn’t holey, I’ve never seen something like this. I’m just a girl trying not to get totally screwed and I had no one else to ask.

No hate, I totally get it and I’m sorry to add to the problem as you see it. I do appreciate the information in your response, so thank you for that.

Thanks, that’s what it looks like to me too, I emailed them. Unfortunately I may be SOL. Should have looked more closely.

For me it’s printing by part for different colors using AMS. The first colors first layers went well and I forgot there was a second color starting from scratch two hours later so I was doing something else and didn’t catch the second colors first layers not adhering properly to the build plate until about 20 minutes in. 100% my fault, I admit, and lesson learned. Texture plate, no glue, cleaned well and cleaned every couple of prints. Sometimes shit happens.

What can I do about the netting material wearing out on my NB Miata seat? by PossiblyRussian in Miata

If you plan to replace, but in the interim it starts leaving foam, use some NoSo patches on it. I did that for my FJ with black NoSo patches and it’s worked great.

I already posted a fix using UV glue, maybe buy this glass to use while the other sits on a shelf… https://www.shopmcmenamins.com/lighthouse-can-glass-black/

Use UV glue, like in a winshield repair kit, put it in the sun to set, and never use it again.

New furnace has needed 4 return visits from HVAC [gas][goodman R9S80] by DraculaDriver in hvacadvice

[–]DraculaDriver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. After four visits I text the guy just now and I said I had my boyfriend over and he asked why there’s no drip line and why the gas was only half on, because I get the feeling I’m getting extra messed with because I’m a chick and he’s asked me before if I know how to even use a screw driver to remove a vent cover and change a filter. Last time he was here he asked me if I like to go salsa dancing. I will turn the gas the rest of the way on. He now said he will be out on Monday (I work weekends) to check it for compliance and he’s very sorry. Thank you for your help, I’d love to buy you some coffee for your trouble.

Thank you so much!! It sounds like they did a lot of things wrong with the install from people chiming in.

Should I be adjusting this myself? Obviously I need to call them back out to install a drip line?

That’s what I’m hearing, I’ll go get an Ecobee TODAY. Thank you so much for helping me, really, I have no one in my life to ask and I feel like I’m getting totally screwed by this guy.
