planted Posted January 22, 2013 Congrats on your good fortune Kris..I know nothing about Cars, but it sounds like it was going to be expensive. Thank you! You have no idea the restraint required for not getting in the people who doubted me's face with a big middle finger!! Or maybe a tongue sticking straight out! But no, I won't do that. I'll just flash my million dollar smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Posted January 23, 2013 Mazda is covering my car bill for a new engine! The shop I originally brought it to said that I was at fault for not keeping up with the oil changes. My husband never questioned it so I assumed they were right. My son had confidence in me and was sure there was a mistake. After being urged by a good girlfriend to call a Mazda dealer it turns out that I WASN'T delinquent and there was an extended warranty on the timing chain (whatever THAT is). I am feeling very happy (and vindicated) today! Woot! Woot! Now THAT is good news. Good for you...and you deserve to make your doubters eat crow.

planted Posted January 23, 2013 Now THAT is good news. Good for you...and you deserve to make your doubters eat crow. Thanks, Strider. Nah, kill them with kindness. That's what Ms Hepburn would have done, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strider Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks, Strider. Nah, kill them with kindness. That's what Ms Hepburn would have done, right? Probably...but I'm not in her class...or yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planted Posted January 23, 2013 Probably...but I'm not in her class...or yours. Don't be so hard n yourself. You have no idea how many times I wanted to shout 'I told you so', but I have trained myself to resist such temptations. It's all good...and so are you.

Magic Fills the Air Posted January 23, 2013 I put on a pair of boots this morning that I haven't worn since last winter, and I felt something in the toe. I took them off expecting to find a stone, and a pound coin dropped on the floor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once bought a jacket in a charity shop and found a tenner in the pocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet you won't have to put up with corporate blowhards who don't give a water rats ass about the contest either. When I spring for top seats stateside, there are always a bunch of dipshits there that could care less about the game. They haven't a clue about the least of the action going on down on the pitch. Bottoms up ol' chap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
