It was supposed to be done yesterday but he had a relative get in an auto accident and is now a quadriplegic so they brought them food. Said it would be ready today since he just had some 'button up' things to get done on it. He used the example of taking the rotors off last week and having them turned to get the rust off that developed from sitting there 2 years. (Almost 2 year, it'll be 2 years jan 3rd)
Anyone think we'll get it back today?

From my "sunkjeep.txt":
The shock in his voice when I told him it was a '16 and not an '18 scared me, he really hadn't known?!?
One bit of good news, Stellantis didn't buy Jeep until 2021. Our newest Jeep the Renegade is 2020 so technically we never bought a Stellantis product. What scares me is they got worse since then?

I'm still in awe how it can take so bloody long to "fix" your car.
I had an oil leak a while ago. Email the dealer, get calls and emails within 15 minutes, sales guy comes over to my house same day (who knows why but I appreciate the gesture), had to car towed to them, dealer hooks me up with a loaner, they order parts and fix the thing while keeping my updated. Okay I didn't turn my car into a Toyboata but still. Get the feeling by now your whole car has been rebuilt three times except it still doesn't work hehe.

I think one person could've mined the minerals, refined them into the sanitized raw metals and plastics, forged and molded them into parts, and fully assembled those parts into a working car at this point.

The jeep is supposed to be done today. There was a broken oil filter housing temperature plug that made that not gonna happen so I told the guy I'd find a new plug and bring it over.
He found a plug that'll be available in an hour and a half.
Got mad yesterday and told him we're bringing the jeep home if it's working or not this weekend then today my wife told me it's coming home today so I told Jay and it's now officially "a thing"
If it's not done today, (or tomorrow depending on my wife's mood and Jay's progress), or we tow it home and get lawyers involved and as I told Jay I REALLY don't want it to end up like that.
UUUUGHH! AAAARRGH!
I feel like a go-between because I am and I bloody hate it.

You should buy another jeep.

My sunkjeep.txt entry for the day. A few days ago he replaced part of the front wiring loom and put the engine back together. Got it running with no leaks but temps and pressure were building up. Checked the exhaust manifolds and they had dried mud in them like being filled with concrete. He tried soaking them for a few days then cut them off at the collector to get to the stubborn bits, he sent a picture of that:
The adventure continues. <incredibly heavy sigh>
This topic has legs and also is the most random thing since soldier girls from around the world.
