The Prius lives! Green Bean came by this morning and installed a remanufactured pack. Seems to be driving normally now.

You’re asking us? Trade the RDX and the Jetta and get a Maserati. That’ll keep your wallet busy for a good long while.

Speaking of good customer service, I found out I get better service after getting my hair cut.
I still wear a mask when I go in the grocery store.
Got my hair cut Friday and went to the deli at the grocery store Sunday and asked for 1/2 lb of roast beef.
The lady sliced it then said to me there's only a few slices left so I'll weigh what you have then add the rest on top. Enjoy another sandwich on me. I said i's savor every bite of it!

I’ll toot my own horn for a customer service story. Today as I was moving cars in the airport garage I saw an elderly (80s) man struggling around with a knee brace and a cane. He desperately asked me where our competitor’s booth was located and gave out a groan when I told him it was at the other end of the garage.

I felt sorry for him and asked if would help if I carried his suitcases over to the competitor’s booth. He gratefully said yes. My coworker saw what was going on and located a courtesy chair (kind of a wheelchair) for the guy to ride in. We got him to his destination and his wife thanked us. The old man reached out, shook my hand and profusely thanked us.

That was our good deed for the day.

my wife surprised me tonight. I told her I should get a Boxster instead of a Miata (after she pointed out I did not fit well in the Mazda) and she said sure, go get one. so I sent her a link to a blue over tan used one and her response was "that is pretty".

I am confused....

It’s a trap. Don’t fall for it.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, go get it quick while she’s still in a good mood.

I’ve bought cars with as little permission as “you might as well, you always do what you want anyway.”

Well, there goes the hope that the previous gen M2s will take a hit when the new one is released.

Okay…so…

Wife decided to take advantage of the still-crazy market for the Bronco and get into something more comfortable and useful for her needs. And just like that, we’re a Mercedes couple.
