I laid in bed all day. Waited until 545pm to get up and do laundry. I need to get food soon. I havent ate all day.

Got some farm fresh cheese and milk from a farmer's market yesterday. 5/7 flavor.

Well, my parents are officially old. Somehow got the fake Microsoft virus detected message on their laptop and called the number.



Luckily they texted me a pic of it and after some expletives I had them hang up and they didn't get to the information/computer access page. Fuckin' A.

My mom used to be pretty tech savvy, but she would fall for this 100% now if I hadn't warned her about it. My wife's parents are even older and they fell for it, but refused to give any payment because they are cheap. They refuse to even use a credit card online, everything is in-person or it doesn't happen for them.

[razr390]

You'd be stunned how many young fairly tech savvy folks fall for that one.

I'm not surprised.

2 hours of remote IT support later, we're good.

did you try resetting your modem?

[razr390]

I went full scorched earth on their computer. Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, and AdwCleaner.

:nice:

How does that whole Microsoft thing happen? It's probably enabled as malware and then it transfers into a virus if they click on it?

Shot a quick message to my service advisor on facebook about a warranty replacement for clutch howling, again. She's going to double check the warranty on the replacement and get back to me on Monday.

you should treat service advisors like shit and demand the world from them.

Has it even been a year?

I have not checked my records, but it’s pretty close to being a year... give or take a month?

[Apex]

I've always gotten one before.

Keep it for 4 weeks to see what happens, for

I’ll make a decision far sooner than that.

Might be time to cut your losses, that being said the parts should carry a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty from MINI, especially since they were installed by a dealer.

You'd be dealing with labor, most likely, if she's able to work anything out.

Not worrying about anything until I hear back from her. Then devise a plan on how to proceed.

Would be far more convenient to deal with this when I’m not working on moving in a month.

Ah but that's how life works.

Try moving, losing a job, and starting a new one at the same time.

Yup, stuff never goes wrong at a convenient time.

They're stupidly reliable.

They drive nice, too. Just big.

Yeah, it was not small.
Only question would be how much someone would finance me for on the

You're probably gonna need to put some money down. How much do you owe now vs what the car's worth on KBB in fair condition (set a low water mark)?

I’m looking at around a 6k delta there. I’ve got some cash on hand, but need to be sure I have enough to cover all the moving stuff.

My aunt got taken for 10k+ over the course of a couple months.

They had her going to Walmart to get gift cards while they were on the phone. Cashier was like, uh, you're getting scammed.

Sad.

Bros got one. Sweet trucks. We put a 3 inch spacer in the front springs to make it look more level.

It's enormous inside.

when I was doing Loss Prevention at Target we had a come in with that story. We were apprehending a shoplifter in the process so local PD was there. One of our guys started stalling the until the cops were alerted. Our guy told the our cash registers wouldn’t let him process that transaction and then the cops came and got his info and the number they called from.

Very unfortunate.

We also had a new employee give away $1,800 on a gift card because he got a “call” from “Target Corporation” asking him to see if the “cash registers were working” by loading up a gift card with $1,800 and “confirming” the gift card number, security code, etc and then throwing out the gift card. This is a guy that bragged to me that he’s “REALLY GOOD” at security and he has his license.

I almost slapped him.

The amount of rust on the hitch, is it indicative of the condition of the rest of the underbody?

The hitch bars were known for getting rusty.

What concerns me is the shape of the bed and wear on the drivers seat. And that it was Traded in with a rusty tow ball.

Those are 60,000 very hard miles on a work truck there.

From a quick poke around underneath, nothing jumped out at me, other than the rusty hitch/ball.
