I had an interesting fight with my insurance company about wheels when I got T-boned.
if I recall they wanted to give me $85 to refinish the wheel. I pointed out replacement costs was $1100.
"oh we don't cover aftermarket wheels"
"nope that's stock from the factory.
"oh"

Still haven't been able to get the right valve stem cap for my wrx. Popped into the subaru dealer today since I was in the town they are in (each subaru dealer is about an hour away from me in 3 diffrent directions) went to parts, the guy gave me a cap which was too small so I gave him the cap off the car and he said would have to order it and it also costs three dollars for one cap lol! I also stopped at another parts store and they don't have one that fits. Wasn't a total waste as I was able to buy a cabin filter which I'm assumming will fit.

I never knew the WRX stems were unique that way.

Yeah neither did I Levi. Evidently neither did the parts guy as he handed me a stem cap to try that was smaller than the factory ones I have. They are taller than most other caps I have seen. I put one from my mountain bike on it just to keep it clean it fits the threads fine but isn't long enough to fit the whole stem. It's a regular factory rim.

I have been try to update the maps for our '19 Mazda CX-5. I keep getting errors so I decided to stop and ask the dealer what to do. They were completely lost. They had no idea and suggested I call Mazda directly.

You would think that the DEALER would call Mazda directly.

MA is changing exit numbers to correspond with mile markers. Will have to update the Garmin. The Jeep doesn't have navigation. The P car does, but we haven't bothered to update it...You know how much the P dealer would charge? We don't and we don't want to find out. We can wing it with outdated maps.

They already got our money so why help? This was the first time at the shop other than a free oil change and I'm not impressed. That's a shame as it is a great car.
