Still looking. Even if you somehow have the spacer/mount/plinthe/whatever it's called and I have to get the chrome pony itself that's cool.

I have to say I'm glad my wife's '11 Edge had an extended warranty. Water pump decided to vomit into the oil pan at 74,925 miles and mix up a serving of the forbidden milkshake. Extended warranty was up until 75K. Whole engine was replaced and we didn't pay a penny.

I hate to be that guy but maybe a clone of a wheel that you had cracking issues with may also have cracking issues and you should move onto a different wheel. 🤷‍♂️

I've got the mirror issue, too, and before I bring it to the dealer and end up getting charged for it I wanted to see if this is possibly DIY (especially since I'm an IT guy).

Well, at least it's not GM implementing their own system that will eventually stop getting updates rather than just continuing to use long-established APIs like Android Auto and CarPlay which rely on a smart phone, which people that care about in-car technology will also always have.

After 20+ years in retail and retail adjacent you learn that the vast majority of "shrink" (theft, damage, and "lost" product) is "internal" (aka, employees). That's why I find it hilarious that Target and Walmart lock up stuff. Sure, a statistically significant amount of shrink is customers...

They're the same kind of people that roll up to you in a gas station saying "Hey! You got 20 minutes? I can fix that dent in your bumper real quick for $100!" but they're in a minivan that looks like it's been through war and sounds like a broken lawnmower... Why haven't they fixed their own as...

It's moreso that if I'm going to be prepared to offer my services I don't want to have to buy a new tool every few customers. Or if the tool isn't ideal and inefficient. Ya know? I know it's not car stuff, but I'm the enthusiast that knows enough to get in trouble while my brother and father...

Yup! Need to travel more but I like living here. LOL

Bump!

Route 17?

Well, that's good to know since I'll likely go tool shopping at some point. LOL

Right, but we're talking about the hireability of mechanics, so one or two uses isn't what they're looking at. I bought a $60 plunge router from Harbor Freight for my own personal guitar projects but I wouldn't be doing anything that I'd charge a customer for with it, and I imagine the same with...

I know Google Maps and Waze on Android devices allows you to download map regions for offline use. Does iPhone allow for that? I know they lock out or force modifications of some weird stuff sometimes (like how Chrome on iOS and MacOS devices uses the WebKit rendering engine instead of the...

Therein lies the rub. It's the reason I don't offer guitar tech work beyond certain basic things. I'm willing to get my hands "dirty" and I'm not an idiot, but the RIGHT tools are expensive and you need them to get experience because nobody's going to let you touch their tools. It's a chicken...

Thanks. The neck itself is just one aspect of it, too. All the appointments, the insurance companies, having to purchase a new-to-me car AGAIN, and just having no time for anything is just a pain, too. I'll have to see what I can dig up around me. I think there's a glass place down the street...

I'm not so much worried about warranty, really, as would there be a warranty doing it myself? As far as DIY inclined friends... I'm the DIY inclined friend of all my friend groups. 😅 It's one thing to get under the hood and turn some wrenches or put together a guitar or something, but it's...

I know there's those kits for about $15 I can get at AutoZone to do it myself... Mainly because that's all that I really find when I Google this. However, due to the neck injury I sustained from my last accident, this isn't something I can do myself. Just getting into the back seat and pulling...

It's been a bit... Hopefully you don't mind me bumping.

Ummm... You OK, bro?
