    Re: how bad is the passenger side?

    My safety tag is expired and I cant renew it because in my passenger side seat, an airbag sensor is broken.
    I brought it to the dealer a few days ago and the guy behind the counter said that even if the sensor was covered by warranty, It wouldn't apply because I had my clipboard on the seat at the time. He said anything left on the seat can break the sensor. I KID YOU NOT. I said, where am I supposed to keep my clipboard?? He said in the backseat, like a normal person. I laughed in his face and walked out 120$ poorer. My car remains illegal at this point.

      you are waaayy much more calm than i would be.
      without hypothetical details of how i would handle it, lets just say i would DEFINITELY have been arrested for property damage before that day was out.
      Kudos man, i don't do well with insane stipulations and BS.
      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
      The medication helps though...

        200 to 250 miles a day is average. It's 80 miles from one end of my territory to the other. =^..^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          I take out my anger by running. Lots of running.

          Honestly it's my fault for buying a KIA. You get what you pay for. I'm already looking for a new car that can handle a clipboard in the passenger seat.

          I was thinking a Focus hatchback. I even looked at a Chevy Volt hatchback. We shall see.

            I constantly hold stuff down around corners and when braking. Should get that under control seeing that i had an accident because of that before.
            One volatile salad with dressing and a fork a 1L glass bottle, the clipboard a cookie tin with all kind of stuff in and a oversized smartphone.
            And then all the bits and pieces and boxes on the back seat.
            Sudden unexpected braking does not help.
            Glad technology got rid of the map book.

            Red ginseng root extracts work for staying awake.
            If you start nodding off, stop and sleep for 15min.
            Power naps really work.
            Whatever

              oh god, laminated maps and erasable markers, you just took 15 years off my life.

                Did you turn the map while you drove?

                    Just curious, what shoes to you recommend for running?
                    I probably was in the Reserves for a while and had to run, and I hated it because I sucked. The best I ever did was a little less than 14 minutes for the two mile run, and I always hocked up lung biscuits at the end of the run too.
                    I had a pair of Sauconys (with "vang" tech) for a while back in the day, and I didn't think running was that bad then though. They gave me happy feet.
