[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Laura she's beautiful!
I took my car into the shop. It's still in the shop, there's a major oil leak. And right now, they think they just need to replace the gasket and replace the oil. In the past I would have just let things go and ignored the maintenance light and the feeling that something was off. I'm not looking forward to the bill, but it's better than running my car out of oil.
Congrats, Laura.
Wise choice, askye - hope the bill isn't too spendy.
It got spendy.
The labor was going to be at least 3 hours and that would be $180. The part was going to be about $15.
They can't get the gasket they have to replace the assembly. So the part is a lot more, the labor will be less, and instead of $250ish I'm looking at $400. Plus they have to order it and can't get the part until tomorrow and do the repair. So now I have to reschedule Dean's vet appointment.
All comfort to Chikat, her father, and Mickey.
Ick, sorry askye. Car repairs are never fun.
Laura, she is the cutest!
askye, sorry about the spendy.
I'm not too upset. It would have been a lot more if I'd just ignored everything until all the oil ran out. And in the past I might have just done that.
I had my car in the shop yesterday for an oil change and check up and was completely sure I'd get a call about additional work that was needed. But somehow the sun shone on me and it was just an oil change.
askye, I hope they get the work done quickly and don't discover anything new that needs immediate attention.
That's a bummer, askye. I'm glad you caught it before the oil ran out and your engine seized, though.
