The Case of the Broken Crangshaft

Why? Because when I asked for a reason I was told "that's what was determined." So I wasn't even an explanation. But if I want to speak to the GM, I have to reach out myself. You're out of warranty and nobody will goodwill it. Game over. Take them to court if you think they should pay. Th...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft

The guy from corporate said it "would've been something you had to have paid for anyways." I was like, what the fuck? I told him, this has nothing to do with warranties, tunes, it has to do with the fact that my car was NOT RE-DIAGNOSED OR TAKEN BACK FROM WHEN I HAD A CHECK ENGINE FAULT, S...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft

Corporate just called me and the higher powers at both corporate and Jack Daniels declined to assist. I did not get to speak to the GM myself. I am going to have to reach out to him personally. Why tho? Just cut your losses and be done with JD. They ain't gonna help you. Why? Because when I asked f...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft

I lived at home for 3.5/4 of the years I owned the car. So you didn't have to drive to work for those 3.5 years? It was more half the distance than it is now, and then for three years or so I was going to clients in the city, and used public transportation in my home town. After moving to Hoboken, ...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft

Because none of the clients I've been to in the past three years have been in NYC. You live 12 miles from NYC and you can take the train. Listen man, I was giving you unpleasant advice in a positive way. Let me try it a different way. You're fucked. You're broke. This car will cost you more than it...

I hate IT support at most companies. My girlfriend's company consists of ONE IT director. One. What the fuck. Her co-worker was having an issue where any time she went to reply to an email or move an email to a folder within Outlook, it would hang for five minutes. She called IT and the guy said &qu...

I'm so sad. I feel like bad luck is always on my side. :(

I know someone who knows some Italians if you know what I mean. Just when I started to save money and whatnot, this happens. :(

Superb attitude. I make a very serious effort to engage the team working on my car, from the SA to the mech to the folks taking care of the paperwork at the end and paying my bill.
