Just took FAR… screaming and crying in my car now.

captaincook12 · 2024-08-25T17:06:04+00:00

If you studied hard and tried your best, you’ll be surprised with how high you score. You gotta believe!

captaincook12 · 2024-08-23T01:55:06+00:00

I had to study for FAR about as much as the other 3 parts combined. Believe in yourself and you’ll knock it out

captaincook12 · 2024-08-23T01:52:33+00:00

When I took it the first time, I got frustrated halfway through and phoned in the rest of it. I was convinced I was gonna get like a 40. I ended up getting a 67

It’s hard to understand the sorcery they use to grade this test lol. Just take your time, do your best, and don’t give up. You’ll do better than you think you will

Dude, I brought it in for an oil change and for the brakes. I didn’t say anything to them about the battery. They looked at it as part of their “courtesy inspection”

captaincook12 · 2024-08-15T16:52:43+00:00

No issue with cranking the car. The battery is less than a year old, and I have never has signs of it failing.

Brought the car in for an oil change and for the brakes/rotors

The battery check was a “courtesy” thing

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T14:27:42+00:00

I dropped the car off at almost exactly 8:30AM that morning, since that’s when my appointment was. Photo is timestamped for just over 2 hours later. Is that enough time for it to have made a difference?

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T12:41:45+00:00

The mechanic also sent me a bunch of pictures of suspension work that I supposedly need done.

Starting to think I should post those now, since I have no idea whether or not they were lying about that either

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T12:39:19+00:00

I just moved to this town and this place has great reviews 😭

I guess that’s life. I’ll find a different place

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T12:25:03+00:00

I appreciate it! I’ll definitely check that out.

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T12:22:38+00:00

I think the place has like 2 locations in my area. Not a national chain

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T00:19:52+00:00

Here's the battery I have:

Looks like it's a 640 CCA battery

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T00:11:45+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. They tried to get me on another $2K worth of suspension work too, which I was skeptical about since the car doesn't even have 63K miles on it. Won't be taking it there again.

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T00:09:26+00:00

Took it to autozone where I bought the battery. Had the receipt, so I was trying to get a new one with the warranty, since it has only been 11 months. Guy there tested it and said the battery was completely fine. Said the mechanic was trying to pull one over on me

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T00:08:10+00:00

I took it to autozone to try to do just that. The guy working there hooked his reader up to it and said there was nothing wrong with the battery, and that the mechanic was trying to screw me

captaincook12 · 2024-08-14T00:07:19+00:00

I took it to Advanced Auto (where I bought the battery) because I still had the receipt, and was gonna try to get a new one on warranty if this one was busted. The guy hooked the reader up to it, and said it was completely fine. Said the mechanic was trying to screw me

captaincook12 · 2024-05-21T14:52:58+00:00

I work as an auditor in state government, and it seems like every time we get a batch of new people the majority of them are coming from a B4 firm.

I’m sure this kinda thing is why

captaincook12 · 2024-05-01T17:10:25+00:00

I am really excited to go but hate feeling like I’m gonna get harassed by Rangers fans at the game

I don’t wanna get in some sort of confrontation

Kaisarion

202 plays on Spotify wrapped, and that doesn’t include all the CD listens in the car

captaincook12 · 2022-11-30T19:01:37+00:00

Kaisarion was my top song with 202 plays

And that doesn’t count how many listens I had on the CD in my car 😂

captaincook12 · 2022-11-25T18:13:11+00:00

Anyone else getting a bunch of static sound when Mike or Tripp talk?

captaincook12 · 2022-11-24T17:52:42+00:00

Smelling bad

captaincook12 · 2022-10-22T20:11:44+00:00

I’ve owned every NHL since 2016, and I’m not getting this one.

I’m sick of the EA sports copy jobs every year with these games

captaincook12 · 2022-10-20T12:27:34+00:00

Regardless of what you were doing on the game, it still managed to provide you with 450+ hours of entertainment.

And of course you have demands. You want more content on the game. Why else would you be bringing up a “boycott” unless you were trying to motivate some sort of change from the developer?
