wow a friend of mine got a F250 between 2000-2002(can't remember exactly) for hauling a trailer, and he had 10+ recalls in the first six months, we was sick of them by then.

As weird as it sounds, the thing is actually pretty darn good. Has a nice nutty flavor; best way I can describe it is it tastes like you made a milkshake out of a Snickers bar. They also have a chipotle chocolate milkshake that I had last time we were there, which was quite good, a Nutella milkshake, and a Krispy Kreme donut milkshake.

I know. Unfortunately I was busy dealing with trying to get the desk put back together and our network turned back on so I could get work done, so I couldn't stop and take any.

Ouch! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

What theater did you see it at? (sorry.. you may have posted that before).

We saw it at the Cedar Park Cinemark since we only live a couple of miles from it. There was only about 30 people there but we had a good time.

My 2003 F150 hasn't had any major issues, thankfully.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? It's going to be quite the extravaganza!

EDITED TO ADD: HOLY *:eek:&$ -- I somehow missed the part about the kinfe!

I guess your other option is "Previous Maintentance Screw-up" or a PMS, as I like to refer my previous trips to the Nissan dealership. I've been back multiple times now, because the lovely gents in service either forgot to put a cap back on (resulted in a mouse being distributed through my windshield wiper system) or forgot to tighten stuff down (resulted in a power steering leak AND my air filter system coming loose).

Last event was the power steering fluid leak. I was out of warranty but they magically fixed it, no charge to me. Nissan can be a big bucket of :rolleyes:.

The local VW dealer has done this to us twice. Once, during an oil change, they sliced open a hose that is part of the cooling system, resulting in my wife running out of coolant (as in zero) on the interstate. The other time they destroyed one of the car's speakers while fixing a window. We no longer take our car there. @:-)

ABC owned and operated station. You watch them in NY, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco to name a few cities where they operate.

Figured that was where you were when you described what was nearby. Congrats again and I'm sure it's going to be a great, and long-term, gig for you.

Same here. Actually in the first half of that decade, and born during the Nixon administration. I feel old now.

A co-worker of mine that worked for a small local bank here in North Jersey asked the manager last week if I can open an account with $22K in dollar coins and the manager said it was ok. Well apparently, it was not OK and I received a panicked text saying “DON’T COME WITH COINS. WILL CALL LATER” I am not sure what went wrong but I spent most of the afternoon making small deposits at Chase banks in North Jersey. I got all the coins cleared out and credit cards all paid off just in time for going to D.C. tomorrow.
