quoted a spindle @ $61k. special price this year only. after that it goes to 74k. its that high because it has built in motor, and is 46k rpm.

That must be a hell of a spindle.

I'm working in spreadsheet land today updating inventory then on to more paperwork. I did some documentation of our NAS environment and we did a review. Need to make a ton of changes.

That's awesome time, yes. I'd hire him. But warranty pay is only 12.6...

Yea no that's why I don't dealer

but it's a 5 hour job.

[boostedguy05]

don't you like getting paid 2.5 times what it should?

 

[DEEZUZ]

I like 3x

 

[EmersonHart13]

You aren't paying for the 3 or 5 or 12 hours of labor, you are paying for his XX years of expertise to be able to do it that well that fast.

oh, it is. this one is one unit spindle and motor combo, only sold that way. it is priced roughly the same if you had a normal spindle and needed a motor for a different model machine of the same maker though.

Had this done on my Terrain around 100K. The cat was fouled as well and originally wouldn't be replaced under warranty. The SA didn't seem to comprehend that a cat shouldn't be that fouled at that point unless something like 1.5qts of oil was being burned every 1000 miles. I know eventually GM released a special policy on the cat as well so was able to get that covered.

Watching people not pay attention to the road closed sign. One person turned around and then was on the wrong side of the road and almost went the wrong way around the roundabout

 

[boostedguy05]

Idiots

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Whoever placed that sign makes no sense. Usually when the road is closed they actually block the fucker off. I can't tell what's actually closed by that, maybe I need to be there but it's not immediately clear.
