I was driving down NW Hwy and some rock popped up and went POW against my windshield. Loan cars ftw. Doesn't seem to be any damage though, but man that was loud.

Why are you in a loaner? Didn't even chip the windshield being that loud?

Well I took the FX in for an inspection on Friday. They said I need a new front wheel bearing, so I came back on Saturday to get that fixed and inspection done. However, I noticed drivers seat was acting strange when moving back and forth, so it's still there as they are waiting on a part to come in. Surprisingly, no chip or crack i could see. It's a G35 sedan, so I guess the angle lessened any damage. I think I was going 45 mph at the time. Seemed to be a decent sized rock though for the split second I saw it before it hit. It hit just in front of me, right against the edge of the windshield around where the inspection and license stickers go, so maybe that helped.

Maybe. Are you covered under warranty for the front wheel bearing, and driver seat issues?

Does anybody around Arlington area have the movie Boyz N The Hood (1991 movie directed by John Singleton)? I Blockbuster does not carry it to rent and I need to borrow it for one day for school.

Ya, it's all under warranty. I'm only at ~31k miles. If it wasn't under warranty i wouldn't even mention the seat. But if that thing gets stuck in an awkward position, it could be bad.

geez, talk about modding on a budget, $460.00 shipped. if these things dont rust, they'd be a good upgrade for a N/A person.

That's the same as an X02 though, correct? Just the HKS knockoff. I would assume it has the same quality as the X02, but who knows.

they wait till the last f-ing minute to get cost basis information and when I tell them it will take 5 business days (which is way past the tax deadline) he insists on slandering me in an email to the client saying that I am unwilling to help him and causing the client to file an extension which penalizes the client

I am so freaking pissed right now none of you even has a clue of what I would do to that stupid CPA if he ever came to my office... OMFG

The company I work for has an auditor for about two months straight. This lady is the most non social person I have met. She locks herself up in a office and comes out once for lunch and once at 5.

Good morning all.

Is anyone else's car starting to be a money pit of repairs? I just replaced the belts this weekend. I've known that I need new tires and wipers. Replaced brake pad and rotors 3 weeks ago. Just had the oil changed and had the check engine light come on. Took it to the dealer and need new mass air flow sensor. Good thing my extended warranty covered that. What would have been $560 is now only $100. I wonder what I'll have to replace next. Wifey is not happy with all the repair bills on it lately.
