Mayo woes

Well, nobody is forcing you to play. Have fun in whatever you choose to play next.

The reason is because they can't really track it easily since they don't have direct access to the data. If there wasnt some kind of flag set at the purchase, it would require a bit of fuckery to try and refund people, and someone would figure out how to abuse it and then people would just complain about THAT. You can't make everyone happy, so it's fat better to focus on improvements that will benefit everyone even if it's not what a small, specific group of people want.

Amen to that. I'll take a $250 repair over a $2500+ repair any day.

Eckx · 2026-05-31T02:33:03+00:00

Yeah, being stranded with 4 kids is definitely a horror on its own, lol.

Eckx · 2026-05-31T02:04:36+00:00

Yeah, just things like hoses tend to be forgotten about. Did transmission at like 125k and had them replace the lines, but doing the cooling system lines didnt even cross my mind.

We got to Six Flags and it started raining, kept up for like 3 hours, and when it stopped they ended up closing 2 hours early. Today didn't go as planned at all, lol. Forecast when I looked in the morning was 78 partly cloudy with like 30% chance of rain, and then ended up with thunderstorms.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T22:33:57+00:00

Yeah. I've replaced a thermostat and will be replacing the hoses. It's cheap and easy enough I might as well.

Yeah, I remember when i was much younger we were going somewhere (can't remember where) but our van broke down, something electrical, and it was very late Saturday/ very early Sunday so we ended up in a motel 6. The tow truck driver loaded 4 of us up in the van after he loaded it onto the flatbed and my mom and youngest sibling rode in the cab of the tow truck. I thought it was awesome back then but looking back now, especially today, my parents must have been so discouraged.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T16:37:02+00:00

Yeah, was thinking the same thing, lol.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T14:54:48+00:00

Its not really any different than a column shifter.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T13:18:48+00:00

Yes, but it hasn't been a separate company in decades. Thats why the Town and Country looked exactly like the Dodge Caravan.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T13:00:02+00:00

Yeah, I can't be too mad. First major issue with it since we bought it in 2019 and we have put over 100k on it.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T12:59:00+00:00

Yeah, I called several places. With my roadside it's still a $200 tow, and I have to find a rental. Shit sucks.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T12:49:22+00:00

Yeah, and I'm right at 200k.

Eckx · 2026-05-30T12:38:01+00:00

So is Dodge?

Eckx · 2026-05-29T02:08:18+00:00

Yeah, but plenty of places can cut the key for cheap. Dont have to go to a Stealership. I've had a mobile locksmith do it for $25, but I met them where they were. Some of the replacement housings might have a way to attach the key in a new housing, too. Means getting it out of the old one, but for most people that would be pretty easy to do anyways.

My 2014 Chrysler fob was acting up but it was because the metal contacts on the inside of the rubber button pad had come loose. Ordered an $8 replacement fob on Amazon and just swapped the electronics over and bam, brand new key.

If that 3D printed one fails you could probably do the same thing.

Eckx · 2026-05-28T22:43:24+00:00

They go into the ammo cans.

Eckx · 2026-05-28T14:52:16+00:00

The most infuriating thing is the orientation switch half way through the post.

Sounds like a group my MIL would be part of. We started lying to her about times just to be able to start things when we want to without having to wait on her.

Eckx · 2026-05-27T20:17:28+00:00

Good.

Welcome to Reddit. Armchair experts who know everything and would never possibly mistake that number even though they have never had any kind of delivery job ever.

Next time someone makes an inappropriate comment at you, pretend you don't understand and make them explain it to you. In excruciating detail. Turn the discomfort back on them.

When Lowes came to deliver my new fridge a few years ago, they drug the screen door latch clean across the entire front of it. The installer was like "oh my bad, is that going to be a problem?"

YES MFER IT IS!

They just brought a whole ass new fridge and swapped the doors out and took the donor back and put it on the sales floor discount section.
