Jay, Ladybug had a bad passenger airbag sensor. I sure am glad I got the extended warranty, though - only had to pay a "deductible" of $100 + tax rather than $700 - works for me! She's all better now. Well, for the most part... I went to get in and noticed a scratch on my window - walked back into the service department and said "Someone must have let the seatbelt fly - my window tint is scratched." The service manager said "OK, let me know when you can bring her back in, we'll fix it" He didn't even want to take a look first. I know crap happens, but how they address it is what matters, and my service department rocks. Oh, and they changed the oil, too, without me asking. It was due to be done in about 300 miles anyhow...

Mitzi is fixed, all under the warranty at no charge. I'll be picking her up tomorrow morning!

Is it Friday yet???

Not even close to Friday yet ..... was it the accumulator???

One sound I don't miss is the old 70's vintage surveillance cameras. The high piched squeal from what I can only assume were vacuum tubes, would drive me up the wall. I used to walk into some shops and do a u-turn and walk right back out. What got me is that no one else seemed to hear them. Thank God for modern solid state cameras!Attachment 417496

Gary, I've never heard a high pitched squeal from the old video cameras. Stone deaf I guess. But it probably wasn't due to vacuum tubes. More likely the power supply used to run the equipment.

LBM, glad your SUV and LadyBug are now on the mend. Lightning was giving me an airbag warning intermittently for a while. I took it into the local dealer. They told me nothing was wrong. It hasn't happened since then.

Congrats on finishing your tests SuperSport!

P.S. Gang - I'm collecting your answers to the worst sound in the world. I have an end in mind. You'll see soon.....

Sleepy time. I just finished doing my notes from work. I will be tired tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

[StentS]

Okay Jay .... I wasn't going to respond to the noise thing ... but .. I HATE those little 4 banger buzz bombs that sound like a sewing machine before they put those fart can mufflers on them ... more annoying than Jersey Skeeters ...

Those tags at the bottom definately spice up this thread.

I also hate the fart can exhaust sound. Another sound I hate is the Emergency Broadcast System noise heard on radio and TV from time to time.

Good morning crew. I'm already tired. Can we just skip to Friday already?????????????
