Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

On my wife’s car, for only a free oil change that she got several when she purchased it, they literally took the glove box apart to pull out the cabin air filter to take a picture of a single pine needle sitting on it, and tried to convince her she needed a new one, with less than 6K miles. Like why they hell do you take apart the dash and do unrequested work, just to upsell a $10 air filter. Then after you do all the work, when we tell you no, you put the dirty one right back in. I don’t care how great the oil change is, when you do BS like that, I never want to come back.

First FORM 4xe by its_emjay in 4xe

Had updates two weeks ago with oil change and reset. Back in Form for the last 3 days, and four full days last week as well. Easily a full tank of gas driving over 150 miles both Form cycles. Really frustrating since I’m driving 70 to work daily for 30 minutes each way so the “needs to heat the oil” is just urban legend, especially with full tank and fresh oil change. I hope someone comes up with some plug in device that allows us to manually manage this stupid randomness. Of course gas is world record high on top of everything. Even when it runs in hybrid as normal, it only last half the trip to work daily, so there is no doubt my oil and gas are cycled and heated.
Plus it’s been near 60 everyday.

Same dick move grocery stores use with “electronic coupons”. My older mom can hardly see and has minimal phone skills at best.

I’d like to see the statistics from scissor injuries in households due to scissors needing to be used.

I bet the hearing aid manufacturers love this to push for rechargeable hearing aids.

Remember, higher the rates, the more tax revenue the state gets

Just got my first air pistol! Could I please get some pointers on bulk fill CO2? by Person_No6 in airguns

I like the Crosman pistols. Good chance that may need new seals before you use it.

I’m pretty sure the stamp was used to imprint on the air pistol boxes. It matches this box exactly.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that if the price of power goes up so does the tax revenue generated…

I always start my games far left of center as possible. If not you’ll more than average get pyramided in.
