Well "Betsy" as we call her (99 Trailblazer that was Wife's
before the Nox Sport and is now my Daily for Work) went
crazy on me yesterday trying to get home. Stopped by a
store, came out, started it and it made a pop sound. Will
not idle (ok over 1000 rpm's) and drove home two footed
keeping gas down at all intersections and stop lights. She
is just shy of 14 years old and has 232K on the clock. It's
parked till January and I'm hoping it's a cheap fix. Going to
probably shed tears if her run is over / repairs are too high.

That is some sad bs. But at least it had a good life.

Want to sell it to me?

A guy with who I work knock my Nox with his old toyota tercel's door. Two co-workers saw him and he never told me so my two friends told me about that.

The molding in the middle of the door needs to be repaired, if I replace it, the cost would be 435$ + paint, the repair will cost 100$ and for sure the guy don't want to pay for what he does.

I have 2 brothers and a sister and am closest to the younger brother. I reached out to the brother that's just younger than I and bought him a movie ticket and dinner afterwards. He is a goofy bird, just so happened to have his Samsung S3 on his lap when we parked at the place to eat and when he got out of the car it fell to the ground just about shattering the screen.

He was worried about an insurance claim or having it fixed to cost $100+. I showed him a video on youtube and how easy it was to replace. I told him that I would order it and it would be in on Friday and said that I would fix it for him this week. Come to find out that over the weekend he checked on having it repaired for $130. When I got home on Sunday, I told him that it had come in and he thanked me for it.

I went over to my Dad's for dinner tonight and he told me that he claimed his phone on insurance. I am glad that my brother told me this... He had the chance too. I guess he is getting a repair kit for the GS3 for Christmas...
