Random Rants

[barun]

so I'm driving on the highway Friday afternoon in my very bland but reliable 2007 pathfinder and it starts to shake a bit.  A few seconds later I change lanes and it sounded like an explosion and then it felt like the front axle broke in half; scared the ever loving shit out of me.  I pulled over, got a tow, spoke to the service guy at Nissan and he says he is surprised I'm still alive because the u-joint snapped, broke the drive shaft which hit the floor of the car and apparently ripped the bottom of the car completely off and destroyed the whole belly of the car.

Now, a rep from Nissan is going to the dealership Monday to take a look because they don't think this has ever happened before and they are going to decide if this should be covered under warranty.  If not, I'm looking at a minimum of 5k just in parts.  I have a feeling my asshole is going to be violated royally by Nissan on Monday…

Glad that you are physically OK.  Good luck on Monday…...G

Damn it i should have dropped my flat head rant in here, can't now, I've calmed down, except (angry homer simpson voice shaking his fist) "except when i return to my wardrobe and look at that shirt!!!"

[simonc]

Jesus Baron!  Lucky you are okay.  I was once driving around a large roundabout and the rear drive wheel sheared off and i was doing 360's around the roundabout and slammed up against the kerb.  I'd had a drink, I was 18.  This cop turns up.  I'm thinking "o shit great now this is where i lose my licence bit".  I throw my head in my hands he goes "son you been drinking?" I shake my head no, he goes Hmm, turns to see my rear wheel rolling a hundred meters down the road "let me get you a tow truck"  Good luck on monday.

Not sure whether this should be on the tattoo thread or not but….
my girlfriend has just had a shell tattooed on the inside of her thigh,
if you put your ear to it you can smell the sea.

barun: I've seen our WAYWT pics… Just hold the service guy between your index finger and thumb and gently squeeze until its covered by your warranty...

Good luck lad!..

[Finn666]

good luck b…great to hear that nothing really bad happened!

[rocket]

just read that Barun, wtf, glad you are ok and good luck for the coverage…

[Beatle]

Barun - just call some reporter..they will blow up that story in no time and I am sure Nissan will spring for a new car in no time …

[Omega Man]

Barun, glad you are alright.  Beats idea might not be a bad one.  That could be your trump card.  Emphasize that your personal safety was paramount.  In this instance, you came close to risking your life and of others who were driving on the road.  A 4 year old car should not have this problem.

[barun]

you guys think that would work?

i love my blackberry. new iphone 4S is pulling me over slightly. this is a rant.

[Megatron1505]

I have an iPhone 4, and don't give a shit about dual core blah, and 8 mega pixel blah. Pleased that it wasn't the iPhone 5 with some new amazing sexy tech, or I would now by crying into my milk…..this is also a rant.

[jimmy]

I am on my second iPhone 4 and still have really bad signal problems so I would be looking to get one for that reason alone

[GimpKid]

The Siri personal assistant is enough of a reason for me to get one… but then again I never need much a push to buy the new iPhone.
