LOL, I just saw that, Cove. Dontcha mean "Scheduled for repair - OK to drive"!!!

Our machanic wouldn't have even acknowledged the DVIR. I would have been driving THIS again the very next day.

I wonder if there is someone clever and ballsy enough to "work as directed" and drive the truck right into the flood waters.

Quite a few years ago when a tropical storm came through our area I was driving a new P800 (2 foot step from the ground, etc) and one neighborhood was flooded. I had 3 stops and the fire department asked me if I could help evacuate some handicap people that couldn't get in a boat. No cell phones and still on paper so it was a no brainer to assist as requested. The wheel chairs fit nicely in the back and it was the one time I was greatful for the high profile vehicle. No I didn't take credit for the extra 2 stops.

I requested no calls to the center for my good samaritan work but the 1 lady knew the number and called anyway.

You're lucky you didn't get a warning letter. Seriously.

I know, I am, too We work in the same building.

 

[cachsux]

Yup, yup. Replaced our old one.

New one costed about $300, and if you wanted it installed $289 dollars extra (AND they wanted you to pull 2 permits). Are they insane? Needless to say, I declined their installation.

Permits? For a dishwasher?

I am guessing he wasn't replacing but was installing a new one, so the permits were probably electrical and plumbing.

Can you believe that? It wasn't even a new installation.

 

[Covemastah]

Cach in Taxachussetts you need a permit to get a permit !!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

$289 plus permits to swap out dishwashers??

Thats what I was thinking, thats insane. I think they hook them up for free here with delivery. My dad was in the furniture/appliance business. When somebody came into his store and bought something, it usually got loaded up, delivered, and installed right away for no extra charge. Nice job with the teflon tape and stainless steel supply line, Over.

I am the type that does things myself too. I changed the spark plugs and wires in my pickup truck last week, it was a real pain. I had to take the left tire off and go through the fender well to get to a couple of them. Now I know why the tuneup place wanted $300 to do it!

 

[cachsux]

Now if you get a permit are you also having to wait on an inspection?

Lol, probably. I stopped listening when they said $289!
