I'd keep an eye on it Kamron. I'm not entirely sure how they measure ours now since I only know of the meter outside for elec/gas and don't remember seeing one for water. Our water is cheap (and deservedly so) so I've never paid attention to it, but Detroit and its burbs are hurting so they might have been losing out to other people who haven't been as honest as you.

cheap water here too - gas, on the other hand is really $$$, but I attribute that to my house being so old & not "modernized" as far as insulation & windows go. Since I got my hours cut Melissa has taken over all the utilities & has already warned me to be prepared to be cold

It's still got a meter, and I think I've figured out how to test the accuracy of the meter by filling up a gallon or two of water. I'll wait until I need to use a few gallons of water to wash my cars before I test it (no sense wasting water), but I will be testing it sometime in the near future. Hey, if I'm legitimately using the water, no problem, I'll pay for it. If they're trying to rip me off...well, it's not gonna turn out so well for them...

Dash is delayed AGAIN!!!!! Apparently, GoTuning's material supplier has been sending them bogus material for Alcantara. Don't got to him and quote me for saying that, but based on what he told me on the last update, that's kinda what happened. He's re-done my dash quite a number of times now, but the bogus material hasn't been cooperating.

Supposedly, they corrected the material error and have the right stuff now.

Not really a vent, but it just makes me sad to see decaying vehicles. My g/f's mom's fiancee, has a car graveyard of sorts on his farm with a few interesting specimens such as this Opel GT:



There's actually a pair of Opel GTs under the ragweed, but this one was easier to photograph with my camera phone.

Not that I necessarily think any of them are salvageable or worth restoring, but rotting cars still makes me sad.
