These asshats keep calling me about my cars extended warranty. It's always an automated call and it always says press 1 to extend your warranty and press 2 to be removed from the call list. I have been called 7 times in the past two months by the same people. I pressed 1 twice to yell at them and they were not American call center employees. They said they would remove my number. The other 5 calls I pressed 2. This last time it said "2 is not a valid option, goodbye". WTF!!! lol

I like to tell those people how I really feel, I try to get a person on the phone if I do get tricked into answering.

Saw my ex tonight as she is passing through town from Ohio to Tampa/Orlando. I got to see and hug 4 of the 7 kids I miss so much. They are getting so big. It was awesome to see them all excited to see me again. It bothers me that they all live so far away.

Ohio to Georgia is a long way away for your kids to live
I have kids too,
Split custody with the ex.
They however only live 10 mins up the road.
I would go crazy if they lived that far
I feel for you

They are all her kids, I should have mentioned that. She is my ex girlfriend and a family friend that I have known since she was 12 and I was 17. When she and I dated for a few years, I lived with her and the kids and we all got very attached.

I just had to contact the department of weights and measures in Atlanta. There is a gas station down here that is charging 3 cents before you even start pumping gas (Pump Jump) is what they call it. We had a gas station owner here many years ago that was doing this (charging 4 cents) before pumping at each of his gas stations every time you used your card to pay for gas at the pump. The federal government came in and shut him down, put fences up around his gas stations and locked the doors with the stores fully stocked. They actually had guards posted at these gas stations for years.

I hate the fact that 95% of new cars don't come with manual transmissions anymore. Not even the option.
When did we become such ******* that the clutch was too much of an inconvenience.
I know they have done great things with the auto transmission but its not the same, not even close.
Not to mention that a chick that drives stick is sooooo hot.

Oxygen sensor failed. I replaced it. New O2 sensor does nothing but trigger my check engine light... the O2 sensor is fixed but now it is letting me know I have a bad fuel injector. Ok, no problem. I ordered 6 new injectors and the upper intake plenum gaskets... why? Because GM thought is best to locate the fuel rails and injectors UNDER the upper intake manifold. It's not a tough job, 8 bolts total but a nut ton of other connections and hoses. I am estimating 45 min start to finish.

Welcome to GM and their lovely designers. On some of the 3.4s of the '90s you actually have to either remove the engine or find a away to tilt it a certain way to do a spark plugs and wires on it depending on what vehicle it was in. Swear automotive designers don't think about the average person that works on vehicles. But then again that is what the company wants for us to take it to a stealership and pay them since they are getting to the point for some of it only they can fix or diagnose it. Such a crock BS!

How many times I gotta tell you to get rid of that hunk of junk. With all the stinky checks, tax return, and baller *** job you have you could of bought something else.

I am buttoning up any small issues with the G6 to help it continue to run. I have put a second treatment of fuel injector cleaner in it and when I did the second one I filled the tank with Shell Vpower 93 Octane gas. The difference is night and day and I was hoping it would be. So now I know as the fuel injectors get ever so slightly cleaners, the car is running way better. The engine is way smoother. So I decided to buy new injectors. The plan is to use it for work exclusively and get a second vehicle which would be my main vehicle and the ride I can apply what I have learned with this DSP too. I could also do a proper stereo install with everything mounted as it should be all nice and neat and secured.

If it made that much of a difference and your going to replace your injectors anyway you might want to think about doing your plugs at the same time if you haven't done then recently.
Seafoam is your friend.
A few ounces in your oil just before you do an oil change
Let it run for 20 mins to half an hour then change the oil
Put the rest of the bottle in the gas tank.
If you really want to get brave get a bottle of the aerosol spray version and spray out your intake (you tube it for instructions)
It makes a huge difference
Once you see a video of how much shit it burns off your intakes then your know what its doing for your fuel system / crank case when you put it in

Just make sure that you install your injectors correctly. This happened to my Son in law Friday night. Classic Bronco with a 302.

There are 6 ACDelco iridium's in it with less than 30,000 miles on them. I figure what the hell, 206,000 miles on the clock, might as well throw some new injectors in there.

Seafoam sucks. When I ran auto parts stores I couldn't give that garbage away. Some love it but majority of people I know in the auto industry hate that crap. Seen it cause some damage on a couple customers car. Even Seafoam rep themselves confirmed and said yep our product caused this to fail we don't know why but it did. Seen people pour that stuff into manifolds, fuel, throttle bodies and so on.
