Nice

I don't think my truck has been under warranty for the last 30 years... nice that it was built to last

The warranty was for the repair last March. The replacement part failed due to a manufacturing defect. I don't remember if I ever had a vehicle with a warranty.

I could never afford a vehicle new enough to have a warranty.

I think that the closest we ever came was a 1 year warranty from a used car lot. Kinda glad I used a mechanic this time though.

Always good to have a mechanic check it out before buying it. I will do that the next time I make a car or truck purchase.

Let me put my hearing aids in. Taking a quick break here at work, trying to get ahead of the other engineers on the team. OT Pay is good, but OT Work is for the birds.

Happy Friday Nor Cal! Hope everyone has a good day and even better weekend.

Rented a U-Haul truck yesterday and moved the recliner to a Derrel's Mini Storage. Two expenses I did not plan on for this month, so now it will be cup o noodles for awhile. Maybe I will lose some weight. LOL
