Back in the angry thread for a different reason. Not angry, sad and upset.

Police officer was shot 7 times, ambushed - and in the face. He is still alive.
This is in a little borough that I grew up close to in Pa. Went to school in that town.

I am watching the press conference, and thinking of my nephew who is a police officer in the town over.

Everything used to be so home-town nice.
Healing vibes the officer makes a full recovery. Safety shield for your nephew

Okay, I've got one for you. My car is the shop, right? Well, finally the guy says to me that I can pick it up because he finally got the original gas tank back from the gas tank repair shop? :numbness: I drive it all the way downtown and realize that my left turn signal is stuck on- PERMANENTLY! I mean even if I take the key out it signals left left left. I think to myself, "Naomi, try signaling right to correct it!:thumbs_up:" I do and the hazards are now stuck on! That actually happened a few weeks ago. The irony is that I hate left turns!:my_bad:(forgive the vernacular, I was attempting to write!)

Still don't have my car. The man said it would take an hour and a half and $225.

Now he calls 18 hours later and tells me has to get a part and it will now be $450

fek. Someone tell a joke.

air/fuel sensor. Says he can only get it from dealership. I have a dashboard light on that will stop it from getting inspected.
Nothing major wrong with the car.
....I would get a second opinion.....if it's just a "Check Engine" light, then it may be nothing more than a loose or improperly fitting gas cap....disconnecting the battery will reset it temporarily.....

Back. What was quoted was 225. I just laid out 649.72 plus a storage fee. (thought I was doing him a favor not to drive it back)

And I had to ask him again to put windshield fluid in.

I bought my first car for less.

Whee. I'm broke and gonna have a drink. This has been one fine week.

Must be the gods giving me a test.

...you were ripped off....don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a swindle....I would get with the Better Business Bureau and also take your bill and services rendered to an attorney....he saw you comin' from a mile away....

Damned shyster! You've had a horrible week.

nottie - here's how I fix those pesky dashboard lights
electrical tape - just put it over the annoying dash message: poof! goners
This works for me. I've got two going on now. Fortunately my township doesn't require inspection.

If I could have a do-over, I'd be a mechanic AND an HVAC repair person.

yeah. looking at the order that I signed. My car is listed as a different year.
I just wanted to get legal in this state I moved to. He told me that I have to drive it for at least 40 miles until I take it to inspection.

I just wanted to get things done. It was a step. Gods. A little thing like an automobile and license and passport, and your own birth name to have to prove. When you get away

I feel so stupid.
