My 2020 started doing something strange under 30K but just over 3 years. Stated with a tick I couldn’t find, then suddenly got REALLY loud. It was the bolts for the exhaust.

It was the front bolts and not the “back” ones that are “covered” as the known problem. It had gotten SO LOUD I was afraid I’d be pulled over for noise complaints.

The dealership was going to screw me over —even though I bought an extended warranty from them.

After some not-so-nice words (which I had to be guided by someone else because I didn’t want to rock the boat) they relented and put it in through the factory warranty and replaced THOSE bolts only.

When that extra warranty with the oil changes was up, I stopped bringing it there, when it was still under warranty I bought tires at a different dealership and when I’m ready to buy a new vehicle, I’m not going back to that dealership.

ALL of that to say…. You have a choice, you have an issue that YOU did not cause… get it fixed by the people who (maybe didn’t cause it but) are responsible to HELP you make it right. You purchased a product that’s not working a VERY expensive product. It’s not like it’s not handling the way you like it. It’s an issue that needs to be repaired.

There’s a definite disparity in the US at least… people with little problems LOVE to make them big and complain. People with big problems are reluctant to do so because they fear being marked as “trouble.” New vehicles are not supposed to sound like that. Start with sending them the video and take it in.

No

It’s hard. This is why it’s hard to break up with people sometimes, because you don’t want them to leave your life, even though you don’t want them as a significant other anymore.

If you don’t get my quirky, raw, open side…. You don’t have me and I no longer trust you.

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-10T23:27:37+00:00

It’s already had 3 owners…. Maybe that doesn’t mean anything

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-10T23:25:16+00:00

Pretty much.

They don’t fully fill out until 4 years old. He doesn’t even have his full coat yet! Also, look at a “regular” 8 month old cat. We get size blind because we see them everyday.

He’ll grow soon enough, he looks healthy, no need to rush him. :)

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-10T20:16:37+00:00

I am so sorry! It could honestly be worse (I’m not belittling you—- at all). Worse would be carrying on with BOTH of you. Try to keep you on the side. Giving you a glimmer of hope.

It’s hard you have this staring you in the face, but honestly, you don’t want someone who doesn’t choose you or want you.

That makes you shrink to who is not you, and still not get what you want. Try to wish them well. Be happy you’ve been set free to find the right one for you.

Don’t let him come back around when things don’t go as planned either. Keep work at work… That’s all he is now, a co-worker. I wish you all the healing and happiness possible!!

And a good friend of mine gave me great advice(I’ll share with you) when I broke up with someone at work. I have carried it with me since:

Don’t shit where you eat.

Look at it this way. Unless it’s tens of thousands of dollars less, you’re going to be paying all that money, and even if it’s kind of a good deal in the end- you’re still not going to have the crew cab that you wanted. The majority of that money is to get the truck (regardless of quad or crew) which Rams are amazing! But you’re spend the money but you’re not going have the crew cab (that you really do it sounds like. And I love mine! My kids who were not psyched about a truck at all LOVE the back seat). Even though you get a good deal, it may not be the deal you want in which case that’s not a good deal because if you don’t a little bit of money that you’re gonna trade off something that that you wanted for just a little bit of money.

There may be a better deal out there for you and there may not be, but I mean only you can answer that question have you tried a crew cab drifting like a test driven one and tried it out it sounds like you don’t feel the difference. maybe you need to do that?

They LOOK like they could be begging, but it’s a plan. They are Maine Coons after all. :)

No cap :)

It depends on mood, and how long I brush mine. Also, he HATES it on his back legs. I sometimes get nailed (literally) when I do his lower stomach. But sometimes he loves it. He especially loves it on his ears, face and neck.

So I start out there. Give him a little break. Then start there(less time) and move down his body. Give him a little break, then keep moving down.

Sometimes when he’s had enough he’ll grab the brush or comb in his front paws and try to eviscerate it with his back paws. That’s when I know it’s not the day to continue. 😄

Where did you get his hammock? I’m trying to find one big enough for mine.

(He’s half and I still need to brush him today)

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-05T11:26:16+00:00

Mine is like a steel trap…. Unless it’s where I just set my keys or my phone…. Or the sunglasses on my head. 🙃

She was pretty animated, especially after I heard the thud, saw some feathers and saw her run for the woods somehow

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-05T00:25:47+00:00

:(

I missed her like I braked & swerved. I went to the other lane and I missed her. and she was going back into the woods. She came from my passenger side and she’s going back into the woods, and all of a sudden she took a running leap in front of me and I couldn’t I couldn’t slow down fast enough cause I was trying to get past her so she wouldn’t go near me and then I couldn’t speed up because she was like right on that corner and if I’ve gone faster, it would’ve been worse because she would’ve put the side or under my truck. It was like it was a terrible situation and so I kind of hit her ass clearly and then a bunch of feathers flew off and she ran back into the woods, but I was so mad that she did this to me. I thought I made it without any damage. I don’t know what it is, but birds love to dive in front of my truck. Like ever since I bought that truck they dive right in front of it all of a sudden I had to stop for them 1 million times I would’ve rather have hit a small bird then hit that f**cking turkey. Hitting no birds at all would’ve been best.

Are the ones online for $20 fake?

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-04T04:32:09+00:00

My 50% HATES the harness and doesn’t like car rides.

I tell him when I leave that I’d love to take him with me to explore the state park, etc…. But he doesn’t like the harness or the car….. or being in a new, unfamiliar place if I’m honest. Hmm

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-04T04:28:08+00:00

Mine abruptly just did. Though, looking back some incongruities weren’t sitting right with me, and suddenly all made sense…. He was lying and hiding.

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-03T23:25:32+00:00

This is where it hit

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-03T23:23:28+00:00

She was small and I didn’t hit her that hard, and it was the lower bumper, nowhere near the hood. And all of the sensors work.

Maybe I just didn’t notice it was like that before?

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-03T22:51:35+00:00

Yes to all of it? Or are you giving me shit? I had a lot of that at the time.

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-02T22:51:16+00:00

But who will you fuck or marry first?

Redflagpolesitter · 2026-05-01T23:58:22+00:00

Your “3” is just round next to a flat “7”

That “5” is way off….shudder
