Well since it's the weekend already for me I think I'm gonna go split the rest of the wood I've had cut since forever, clean out the weeds around what I have stacked, and go sharpen the chains for the big saw.

Hello from michigan everyone! Surprise surprise, the bus won't start again. What a freakin roller coaster ride of no starts this thing has sent me on. VW guys seem to think it's the ignition switch (guess they go bad easy) So hopefully that will solve my no-start woes.

Well, I just re repped as many people as I could before the site said I have given too much rep out within the last 24 hours! Man, throw that ontop of what seems like a month between the time you can give it the same person, thats tough!

25 times in 24 hours.
25 times before you can re-rep someone.
I think it's all spelled out in the TOU or FAQ of this site.

Miles, I have the same one i think, lol.

Just to update on me versus my truck, I did get it back. It was just the battery, but Tuesday I think some woman from the dealership called me about my satisfaction with the truck. I told her my story, how unsatisfied I am and how I feel as though I wasted my money. She asked if I had spoken to a service manager and I said I have not had an opportunity to. She said he'd call right back, its 3:15 Friday and no call. Time for a visit...
