Who wants my G? -VENT-

[Sentientbydesign]

Today has got to be one of the worst days I've had in a long time.

I'm at work. Starving. And exhausted. I'm stuck using this piece of s*** dell corded mouse which has lost it's ability to "glide" so it sticks to the mouse pad (forgot my personal mouse at home and my boss is too "busy" to buy a new one). And my G's door handle flew off about an hour ago.

What?

Yeah. I open the door after dropping my son off with the sitter and the handle goes flying into the grass behind me accompanied by the keyhole trim and the cylinder is just dangling from the door.

I can handle most of the BS that my G has thrown at me, but this is just f***ing retarded. I may very well get this fixed, then sell the G. I've had other reasons and this is just icing on a dog poop cake.

WTF? That's messed up - I think your G is possessed Nate...

If you buy a new one it comes with all new parts

Calm down take a deep breath and go watch CNBC. My 401k plan is rising.

Too poor to afford a new one

I'm going to go follow Noah and buy a scooby. Wife sent me a text earlier along the lines of "If we win the lottery, can we buy subies and move to Oregon. I love this weather" <- It's currently drizzling in SoCal.

It's ok dear....don't get mad at your car. It can be fixed. Things can always be worse. Think about the poor fella that burned up himself and his family when the accelerator stuck.

Go home....drink a big ole margarita...get a good nights sleep and it will all be better in the morning.



(sorry. All I could find is a beer drinking smiley)

How does that happen???

I'd be pissed. Was it tampered with? Someone try to break in at some point?

[AZhitman]

Clean your mouse.

Go find your door handle parts.

Hug your kid.

Put on your big boy pants.

Who wants to hear my good news?

I don't know. My wife sent me an email that showed another G owner complaining to consumer affairs that their door handle fell off after 3 years. I believe they also got 2 or 3 clutches warrantied.

Could have been a break in attempt, but the actual door handle has a set screw that has to be installed from the inside.

Clean your mouse.

The mouse is so old that the teflon feet has rubbed mostly off. Plus my other mouse has like 4 customizable buttons, and an "infinite" scroll wheel, plus horizontal scrolling.

Makes using the Adobe Suite easier.

I don wanna!!! I don wanna!!!

OH and to top things off. My alignment was out of wack and my $250 front tire is now sitting on belts! Yay!

Who wants to hear my good news?

Getting a sex change?

[SVTCOBRA]

WOW!! Beers ARE in cure!!

Have you driven a Ford lately???

[370Z/28]

Tell us...tell us!

That's awesome!

Sorry about your car...but s*** happens! You may not be able to get one with all the new parts on it, but that doesn't mean the handle flying off is the reason to "fly off the handle" and go and get a "subi"

I mean, there's better stuff out there than one of those things! Oh....like...hmmm, maybe a well taken care of G?!?! Or at least something that looks good!

Who wants to hear my good news?

Well....what is it? Don't jerk the chain unless you're going to let us in!!!

I told you to stop using it to pop off beer bottle tops or something bad would happen

$60 fix turned into a $320 fix due to labor. I'm going to tackle this myself this weekend.

[LuckyLuke]

I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico...

"Yeah. I open the door after dropping my son off with the sitter and the handle goes flying into the grass behind me accompanied by the keyhole trim and the cylinder is just dangling from the door."

Told you not to use steriod when you worked out..

We got a quote from them...$60 per month more. And, they still asked if we wanted to switch!!!

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

This would be a good geico comercial... .The handle flys off and lands in the grass next to the stack of money with eyes...

LOL

Geico only $700 for a 6 month full coverage policy, including medical, rental, $500 deduct, and road side assistance (just renewed in august)

Just fix it your self and save the money... door locks are not too hard to fix... and you will know its done right... but i feel your pain... cause small things will accumulate together and make a whole day horriable... thats when i just stop, reset, and look forward to the next day. ( i was going to say take it out on the G, find you a parking lot and sign your name in rubber , but... never mind... )

So, my Saturday is going to spent fixing my door and replacing my wife's headlight bulb while also trying to manage a yardsale.

The repair is going to entail me completely disassembling the door (including removing the window) to replace the inner portion of the handle.

On a positive note, I have another OCT and the dealer pointed out that one of my tires started falling apart (about a half inch of the inner tread fell off. No, not wore off. FELL OFF).

[xjaywalker]

I guess this is where we all gather around and tell you our bad stuff, so you know you are in good company.

After I bought my G, I spent $800 on a clear bra. 2 days later on the freeway an alternator fell out of the back of a piece of crap toyota pick up, that was bouncing up and down in the fast lane (bad shocks or none at all) on the 405 frwy and jumped up and hit the front left fender.

FYI clear bra has no defense against an alternator doing 70 mph.

BTW - Thanks for the awesome "grounding kit". Say hi the wife.

[zozoka1212]

Nate be honest with you. Seen you are having some trouble. Money here money there. I would sell the G and get something new and cheaper. Something what takes you from A to B with warranty.That's the idea of the car anyways. So you'll have no aditional cost but the payment. Then later on when you back to business threat yourself with something nice.

[kmckis1029]

well at least your front bumber doesnt look like a cheese grater from road debri

but itll be fixed as soon as i get some time to visit my cuz and get it repainted...
