Hmm, so next hit a pothole and you'll be done so far?

Just kidding, Im mad as hell too when this happens to me and my car. Until now: Not!

Drives me crazy! I’ve gone full lease many times without dings or curb rash. The few times it happened it was right before I turn it in. Thank you BMW for lower profile tires with every new generation. What could possibly go wrong with a 21” winter wheel package during snow storms and pot hole season. I just can’t wait.

Those were from the days of white wall tires. We had hub caps back then. Get off my lawn. I guess curb rash to avoid a collision is better than a collision. I hate people!

Turkish Pickle · 12-28-2021, 06:21 PM

White wall tires were an actual thing? I thought it was only in the nostalgic movies

Esteban · 12-29-2021, 11:32 AM

White walls is what my haircutter calls it when she cuts around my ears 'cause I like it high.

Buug959 · 12-31-2021, 07:13 PM

Buttonfly jeans was perhaps not the wisest of wardrobe choices for this evening.

Happy New Year everyone.

I hate winter. I know there are plenty of places colder but it was 19 degrees F when I left the house this morning.

Enjoy the warmth!

Tommy-G · 01-05-2022, 12:04 PM

I am stressed AF.
I'm hiding it well but I have been working 2 years plus through this BS and taken 1 day off to go to Disney. My receptionist had sniffles today so she is now forced to be 5 days off, she just took 2 weeks...YES, 2 weeks to move into a brand new home, she had a month off for a medical procedure.

My parts guy had a fever, he is out 5 days

My car detailer had a fever, he is out 5 days

and my estimator tested positive for COVID and is out 5 days.

This is not going to get better anytime soon, going to be dealing with mandatory work leaves for anyone with a runny nose and cough....(I know I'm not the only one, but it's iNsAnItY the harder you work, the more you get to do!)

It's the same thing at my station. Any hint of a cough or sniffles and it's off work; confirmed Covid is 10 days off. We're already short-staffed in the field, so it sucks. Unfortunately I'm one of the confirmed cases, but of my mandatory 10 days off, I was already off 7 of them pre-positive test.

Exactly, we are doubly as busy as years past. They are only doing 5 days here, positive test or negative....
