    Test drove a frontier because "steering vibration" which was obviously bad rotors. Was told "I just had the brakes done, you're the 3rd person to try and sell me shit I know I don't need"
    Refused service and wobbled away. :rofl:
    People are amazingly dumb.

    Should've sold her some muffler bearings and a kanooter valve

    Funny part is that they are still refusing to accept that they paid to have the brakes and rotors done, but it's likely they didn't actually have them done.

    My guess is they have been declining that for a hot minute. They were grooved up real nice and had 80% pads.
    I refused it all together with a "if I can't do it right I won't do it all, that is a liability that I don't want"

    I've met someone and gone on a couple dates. I don't know if it's just that it was her idea to go fishing or what, but she's got something special going on. :rofl:

    It's time for a new deep cycle for the camper. My usage is going to be a few hours of lights and the blower motor on the furnace. I have a solar charger that I am very unfamiliar with that I guess just works as a trickle charger for the battery and doesn't actually power anything directly. I'm wondering what kind of capacity I should get for my minimal usage, keeping in mind that I'll be on 30A shore power 75% of the time.

    Check it out y'all I got a noise. Could be brake squealer rubbing, or it could be an axle bearing. Haven't heard the typical whiny differential yet so I'm not sure.
    Anyone wanna make predictions on how much longer it'll haul this thing and what goes 1st?
    I think the axle will be done in about 10k miles.

    This chic has the coolest mom I've ever met. She didn't know me from Jack but 1st thing when we walked in she said, "that was a long drive to come see lil ol me. Rest on my couch and I'll make us breakfast"
    She tucked me in, aimed a heater at me, let me crash out for a couple hours and had coffee ready when I got up. :yes:

    This girl is making it very difficult not to fall stupid in love.

    First of all, I'm happy for you. I hope she REALLY IS the girl of your dreams.

    Hilarious conversation. "Oh, so you're like the van life people on YouTube?"

    "Well kinda, minus the $100,000 van, the life, and the YouTube channel"

    :rofl:
    Stupid van lifers glorified being homeless, now everyone wants to live in a damn car.

    The last realtor I worked with liked to drive his clients around so he needed something that could comfortably seat adults in the back seat but get decent fuel economy around town. I could see him replacing his Versa with one.

    Gotta snap the strap, pat it twice, and say the magic phrase. Guy can haul dirt on a flatbed if he follows the basic rules.
