My experience has been that I come across too much like I know what I'm talking about when I'm bluffing and then get blinded by science and technology and feel a bit stupid afterwards. This happens especially in reference to computer networks but it does cover cars too. I've never owned an American car, mine have all been European and manual so thankfully haven't had the same experiences!pennydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425898433355516938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048712117658611836.post-4214570869029957482014-04-04T09:21:18.658-04:002014-04-04T09:21:18.658-04:00I believe I am the Anne that is mentioned in the b...I believe I am the Anne that is mentioned in the blog. I was riding the train into work this morning and was laughing out loud while I was reading. Got lots of looks by fellow passengers out of the corners of their eye. Bet they wished they had asked me what I was looking at. Got to love your sense of humor and writing skills. I have long been a fan of "foreign" vehicles with few issues with their maintenance - Datsun B210, VW Rabbit, Toyota Corolla, 2 Subaru's. Loved them all. Have a gladd of wine for me and maybe with me.

I had similar issues with my mid arm frame, and machine.<br />Had to be put on my "inquiring minds want to know" hat and find my own solution to why thread was shredding. No, it wasn't the tension.<br />It had a tiny, naked to the eye burr inside the throat plate that was shredding the top thread. Everything you shared is so true, what happens to women and getting a repair man to show proper respect. I laughed too as I read your post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033973653596017001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048712117658611836.post-19530426986259823872014-04-03T22:42:06.360-04:002014-04-03T22:42:06.360-04:00You ROCK.

I'm so glad you lived and now we get to be friends! Wow! I've had great luck with repair people being so honest and kind that they actually saved me money when I wouldn't have known better. But the only two cars I have ever owned on my own (pre-hub) was a 1982 Honda Prelude (my first little, though kind of a beater, car) and an Acura Integra. (note they are both Japanese-and ran like charms):) But when I bought the Integra new, it wasn't even the car I set out to buy. It so happened to be the only dealership in town that treated a single girl in her mid-20's like a human. Every other dealer we went to, (my dad and bro. helped me) even after being told that I was the one looking to buy and that I had a pre-approval letter from my bank, would only talk and sell and make eye contact with my dad or my older brother. It was so ridiculous and frustrating for me. So when my dad took me to see this Acura he saw and thought I'd like, when we walked in, and he said, Oh, I brought my daughter back to see this car, and the guy said, "Oh, you must be Kelli, let me show you the car," I was sold. I can't believe the sewing machine guy didn't at least say, did you see any loose screws around anywhere, the only reason this would come off would be..." Not well the part is fine. (except for that it was in your hand) ??

Their boss will often backpedal furiously in order to keep a customer.

I had to look up my Buick's continuing problem on the internet, find a reputable site and copy off the data on exactly which part was malfunctioning and present it to my dealer before they finally could locate the source, and even after they did, had to take it back three more times before they actually completed the job (they cheaped out and didn't replace ALL the parts that needed fixing).
