It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 15 years, since 16 Apr 2008 (via @twi_age).

This broken $30 part cost me over $3500 in repair costs and nearly 2 weeks of being ghosted by the dealership thanks to a mis-diagnosis and no recognition of the error during the repair. Thanks, @Avchevy (cc: @GM @chevrolet ) #AntelopeValley #LancasterCA

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

And @GM -> in the same vein, how does a broken clutch actuator cylinder pipe get misdiagnosed by that same dealership as a broken clutch assembly costing over $2500 in labor? That labor price seems *absurd* for a modern (2017), FWD compact.

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

Hey @GM - any reason why when I took my car in for service at the local dealership they didn't give any feedback on status for nearly 2 weeks, then when I say the word "manager" after 3 calls in 24 hours, its suddenly "the part is on your car and it just needs a test drive"?

@JBreach I said nothing about the apocalypse causing out to go off. Obviously the hangar gremlins are starting the end times.

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

@JBreach well, the fire suppression system works. So there is that.

@libbydoodle @msichicago holy cow... Definitely does not feel that long ago, but then again a lot *has* happened to both of us!

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

@BetsyCooney you're just jealous I haven't taken you up yet.

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

@BetsyCooney no, Saturday's are for flying.

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

@FailedProtostar yeah.... Been kinda busy with life. I'm alive though!

@libbydoodle @arma358 hard to believe it's been that long. #wow #timeflies

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

This isn't news, and yet it always surprises me when I (re) learn it: There is a second "Mean Girls"

@JBreach at least ups & FedEx you can sign ahead of time, schedule delivery for when youre home & pick up from locations that dont close @ 3

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

One again screwed by the useless @usps carrier. Today didnt attempt delivery (no knock), marked as delivered, & left the stupid note #FUUSPS

[Pat Cooney @concussion962]

Alright, @USPS , now it's war. This is the 3rd separate time that you've failed to deliver my coffee - that doesn't require signature. #fb
