You can't be talking about me....I am converting light bulbs to strong LEDs as they burn out, the temperature is set to 74F.....if I can't be in Florida this winter, and in the summer the thermostat was set at 72F which was fine......no fear

I always sort of looked down on the Encore because its styling makes it look tall and stubby. I guess it truly is that, but I have to say I am reasonably impressed with how it drives. The little 1.3L Turbo engine has lots of zip off the line though it runs out of breath pretty quickly when you put your foot down on the highway. Nice room up front and in the cargo bay too, though the rear seat looks a bit tight. I think I'll take it out for a short trip to the grocery store later, its natural environment.

OTOH, I like the one when she gets a text the Jones's are coming for dinner, she goes and buys four steaks to make for dinner, then she rushes to the door to find out it is only to babysit their kids, and the little girl says "Where's the pizza" At least it was cute the first 50 times I saw it.

The new VW's I'm interested in won't be out till sometime in 2021 so decided to just fix the current Golf and wait. Since my driving is now down to less than 5K per year, just made sense to fix her and soldier on. With just over 65K on the clock, makes no sense to get a brand new vehicle right now. Not much excites me and not much in the size I need to have, under 174" due to limited parking in our two car garage.

A lot also depends on the dealer. As an example, some E39 radiators had a plastic vent hose elbow that snapped into the top of the left side tank. BMW didn't sell the fitting separately, so if it started to leak many dealers replaced the radiator. It turned out Mercedes used the identical plastic fitting and sold it as an individual part. Smart dealers and indie shops used the Mercedes part to fix the issue, gaining them some goodwill from their customers.

Looks like I'm going to be $400 richer and shy one car.

You might even donate it to the local VocEd school or High School mechanics department - that’s if they’d accept your “gift”!

I’m not one to whine, but over the past month, have had two more retinal detachments (3 counting the original). BP crashed during one surgery (84 over 56) which caused a highly unusual trip to the “big hospital” for a night’s stay so they could pump me full of fluids to get the BP back up. They won’t say the cause, but I suspect it was an over aggressive anesthesiologist. 3rd detachment happened less than a week after the 2nd one. Have gone to 2 other retinal surgeons for 2nd and 3rd opinions. All say there is no precedent for 3 retinal detachments in the same eye.
Being mostly face down during the day, and sleeping (really can’t call it that) nose pointing to floor while sleeping for the last 4 weeks has left my shoulders and neck sore, and a bit mentally flaky and delusional given the constant prone position. Pressure build up from having first, gas put in my eye to hold the retina in place, and next, oil being the more durable retina placeholder, pressure got very high with the surgeries. So, they had to relieve the pressure by literally sticking needles in my eye. Not fun.
Obvious questions...yes, I can get up for the necessary bathroom breaks and am able to eat, but with my face facing down at my food.
This week I’ve been able to sleep on my side and sit up. That’s a huge relief. Face is swollen. Rainbow colored eye is starting to heal. Both are getting better, though.
End result, I’m now legally blind. That’s defined as one eye being 20/1000 uncorrected. The amount of sight out of the eye will probably be limited to differentiating between light and dark, so no amount of prescription will bring back that sight. I’ve made my peace with that given my “good eye” is 20/25.
Have used the iPhone’s/iPad’s quite accurate voice recognition to communicate with those who texted and called, as well as for IMs and brief posts here.
My car courier business has been tended to by a couple of friends. Good news/bad news, I haven’t missed any transports as business slowed way down at the beginning of Oct. Bad news is I may not be able to continue it if I can’t get a restricted driver’s license while using one good eye (which believer it or not, is possible).
Thanks for those here who stepped up and IMd me about helping me with the transports. Still may take you up on your offers. Trying to plot a course forward at this point. The plan is....I had no plan.....that took this into account.
Again, thanks for being patient with me and offering kind words and offers of help. Y’all are some great people.

So sorry to hear of this ordeal. I just can't imagine what you are going through. Hang in there, your Edmunds family is pulling for you.

If there is anything I could do to help, give me a shout. Even if you need a warm vacation this winter - I have a large bedroom that is vacant most of the time. God’s speed, GG!

Not the news we were hoping for, this just sucks! Hopefully things will improve...

But, I'm glad to hear you are thankful for the one eye. That is the better outlook to keep in mind.
