Design mock ups are the bane of my existence.

What do you mean it’ll take 6 months…you have almost all the work done in your demo.

I made some buttons that navigate between pages that have laid out controls on them. Other than those specific navigations…nothing works.

Something tells me you and your mates are car people. So issues are usually a mild cost and annoyance. The vast majority of people would struggle to replace a headlight and end up paying a shop. I help friends do all kinds of silly crap on cars. I also taught my sister how to do the basics like engine/cabin filters and windshield wipers. Cause it’s silly to pay $30-40 to change out a $12 filter that literally takes 2-3 minutes.

I replaced a water pump in my truck a month or so ago. It was like $150 for the pump, coolant, and additional various seals and a Saturday afternoon. The cheapest quote I got was ~$1400 from a shop…ridiculous. I was mostly wanting to be lazy as it’s cold and hate bleeding cooling systems…not paying that much of a premium though.

The shady tree mechanic people are a dying breed.

I hate those surveys. I’ve always had them emailed though. My last car I ended up ordering and they were relentless with asking me to complete the survey. Sure, some of that survey is about the dealership experience but a lot of it is about the vehicle itself. I don’t have the vehicle yet. It’s on order. So I docked them heavily on the sales part of the survey after that. Don’t badger me to do something I can’t even complete.

Well you can uninstall Edge on the EU variant. Microsoft doesn’t want people just posting a link to that ISO on a forum somewhere. It has some other unique features but that’s the only one I remember.

I had two motor options when I test drove my vehicle. One had start/stop and the other didn’t. I drove both on the same route. There was a freeway exit that was one of those slightly irregular yield right handers. I had to stop for maybe a second for a car to clear. The engine shut off. I hit the gas since it was now clear for plenty of time till the next car. It didn’t move. I hit the gas harder. Nothing. Now it’s starting to get questionable with the approaching car. Hit the gas harder. Then the engine finally kicks on when I’m in the accelerator about 50-75%. The vehicle squeals its tires as it pulls away. The sales person doesn’t really say anything from the passenger seat. That was my first and last time dealing with start/stop. I bought the other motor option.
