Car in for brake work today. Note to self: Don't leave car parked outside for three months without driving.
Another night shift in the books. Going to be really interesting when I have to go back to work next Friday.
I have the same problem with my Fit. Battery doesn't last more than 1.5 weeks without driving or charging.
I have gone through this two times. Second time I really tried to avoid it but ice and salt on the road go to the rotors quicker than I could drive the car.
Highlight today will be cooking some chicken I bought today. It's that kind of rainy lazy day.
I was super tired after PT yesterday. Good mobility in the arm/shoulder though.
Contemporary vehicles have so much electronics running when they're "off" that I won't leave one for a week without at least charging it.
My 2016 Honda CR-V AWD LX used to be used a lot, but since Hilarie stopped driving we have been using hers. Mine sat outside for over three months, on a battery charger, but rotor corrosion occurred under the brake pads and it was bad enough that pulsation and noise when braking approach severe on the right rear.
Eventually, my car's supposed to go to my riding buddy V.
Dogs walked and fed, starting on espresso. Just before shift end yesterday, radio crackled ' EMT to barn 5 person down, unconscious. Heat and no food and little to drink bad combo. Ice and cold water to drink brought them around today should be fun.
Rode last night in the pouring rain, in the dark. What a blast. But wow, there was so much water out there. I think my shoes will still be wet next week...
NO COFFEE AT WORK WTF IS THIS HORSESHIT
And yeah, still raining.
Poop, I still have to do.

Issue with their remote navigation update. Getting updated and should resolve the problem. So yeah, not so much.
I look forward to your next post about how reliable it is!
Signed, a previous Audi owner.
hey lol. Ran this morning and will pedal the kickr later while storms roll through.
I assume you have 4-5 pairs, like a normal biker?
Still in bed, but the sweet siren song of espresso calls to me. Blood work and chores on tap for today.
nearly hit some stupid runner. she wasn't paying attention and ran out into an intersection from behind a shrub (while i had a green light) on my way to drop my daughter off at preschool. 100% looking the other way until i hit the horn and slammed on the brakes. fucking moron.
you don't like to work, i don't expect your blood to want to work either

[Pulls up Consumer Reports]Hmm... Audi is really high on reliability. Not so much for every FCA car. I'll let you know.
I feel your pain.This rib shit sucks.
That is all.
Rode; $916 later, car has four new brake rotors. those replaced were reported as delaminated.
Here.
Covid drama ensues. I think they should stone reporters who embelish facts to help divide the people. And facebook should be tried for war crimes.

I need to start a mobile mechanic service to give cheaper auto repair rates to monkeys
How much to replace the spark plugs on a '14 F150 with the 5.0l V8?
Asking for a friend...
Just one. Hoping for something smaller in the not-too-distant future, as 2K sq ft is way too big for the 3 of us.
Thinking sorta along the lines of something like this.
This one has a really nice location as well.

Maybe 60 bucks labor plus plug costs
Not too long ago mechanics charged like 100 bucks an hour and now it seems like they're all charging 250+
Plugs are super easy. Brakes and rotors are easy. I can't imagine paying almost a grand for that.

SOLD! When can you drop by? Could even pull the front of the truck into the garage for you... the whole truck won't fit in the garage.
I should probably get a bigger house.
If I was in the same state I would for some chilli
Honestly man just look it up on youtube or something. It's really not difficult

Of which the mechanic gets little...
When someone like @SkaredShtles considers the cost to repair cross threaded spark plug holes having someone else do it for him makes sense. He also gets to show off how he is a rugged individualist to a blue collar worker with his manly truck.
Nice time of year to sip on a pumpkin spice latte while he waits.
I'll show him where to rub his face so it looks greasy.
Like he really got all up in there.
I think the last few times I paid someone to do something I couldn't they were day job mechanics that I paid outside of their work. I definitely did that replacing a clutch on my last tacoma.
