Their safety record sucks.

In terms of click bait headlines yes. You’ll notice when it’s a Tesla involved, the media always calls it out regardless if it’s relevant or not. But you don’t see Honda involved in drunken crash or Tacoma on fire after collision in headlines. Look Tesla up, consistent 5 star safety ratings. All while beating sports cars off the line 😁

Started the day off right by using the best razor ever made with a delicious smelling (or as Bruce would say, tasting) soap. Have an all-day meeting today that I'm hoping to weasel out of around noon. We'll see. Yesterday was aggravating. I found a car that met my wife's specs at a used dealer on the other side of the bay. Now, these cars seem to disappear as soon as they pop up for sale. So I call, it's still there so I tell them we'll be there as soon as we can after work. "No problem, we'll get it ready for you". I hate driving, I hate it even more if we have to go over a bridge (traffic) and hate it even more than that if we have to go through the city (even more traffic). This would involve all three. But, my wife has been through a lot in the last 3 months, so I just tell her I'll pick her up right away and we'll head over there. Traffic sucked the entire way. Up to SF, through SF, on the bridge, past Oakland. The entire way. When we left the house maps said it would take an hour to go the 35 highway miles. Nope, 90 minutes. Good times. We get there and I'm a little surprised not to see the car sitting out front to make this all easy and inviting. The guy led us back behind the building where cars were parked bumper to pumper and it's clear nothing could easily be pulled out. When we get close he said "there's just one obstacle..." meaning with selling the car. We see it and the front looks pristine. He walks over and shows pain scrapped of on the edge of the rear wheel well like it was rubbed against something. I'm thinking it's nice that he's pointing out any issue right away and I wasn't sure if that would be a deal breaker for my wife. I assumed so, but it had low miles and good price so maybe she would go for it and we could have a body shop fix it. Then he said he had so show me one more thing. We basically crawled over between two cars and he showed me this very large deep gouges with a body panel pushed in where they started. Turnd out a detail guy scraped it up against a metal pole moving it back there and the sales guy claimed he just learned of it earlier. WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL US!?!??!! So back in the car, only an hour back home.

Why didn’t they offer to do the body work they caused? This seems like a sketchy dealer. But at least you got to visit the greater Oakland area. Here, hopefully this will cheer you up:

 
There are several non-bougie things about this story......starting with the word traffic. Next time end the story right there.....we all know how it ends after that.

Try to be a little realistic. Do you know how much landing fees are at the Oakland airport??
 
Fear not, Bougie.........you're still many points above the cut-off. With a charcuterie board lead over the next possible Bougie.

First run with a new to me soap company. Video posted.

Today's car drama. The car the youngest has been driving went in for a regular service and to check on a "knocking" sound when it goes uphill. Well, first we get told it needs new tires. Yep, the video shows the tires should have been replaced some time ago. Of course, teens don't concern themselves with looking at such things. Then we get told the noise was the emergency brake cable slapping against something or other down below because the bracket for it was broken. No biggie right? Well, the part is no biggie, but they have to remove the fuel tank to get to it. So labor is a biggie. We're going to be getting rid of this car one way or another when the youngest leaves, and now all this basically reduces what we'll actually get out of it by over half. Stooid being an adult n stuff.

In nicer news, my company really takes care of its own. When there was the big fire in Maui, they sent financial support to those employees working there. And with the Southern California fires, lots of employees lost their houses. So they are paying for Northern Cal staff to fly down and help in the hospital so the employees down there can deal with their loses. I have two of my staff that will be spending most of next week there to help out.

Good golly! Everyone around here knows it's a rarity for me to update the journal on the weekends, Bruce. Nice Zoom call last night and some more car frustration. This time we drove up to the north bay an hour to see a car. As soon as I opened the door I knew I screwed up. White seat. She doesn't want white seats. I only search for black interior and somehow this one slipped through and I didn't pay attention to the inside when looking at the pictures. So, now we have one being shipped from Las Vegas to look at. I mentioned on the Zoom call we watched A King's Speech as part of our movie poster-watching thingie. That's a good movie right there. Then yesterday my wife came in when I was halfway through episode 2 of the 2nd season of Squid Games. She didn't watch the first season with me, but I think that was enough to get her hooked.
