Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Pourin bad luck on me. Got the water leak fixed and now the windshield on the Subaru took a rock on the highway. Nice 10” crack. At least the auto glass guy has one in stock. Already replaced one windshield last September. Arrrhggh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Nobody’s hurt! It’s just money... Had to replace the alternator on Ol’ Green a couple of months ago. Last week, the battery gave up the ghost. First time for an alternator in 385,000 miles, but of course the battery was just out of warranty. Winter is on its way. Wonder what’s next?

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Coming back from Wyoming from my hunting trip, got a rock in my F350's windshield. I get at least one a year. My son owns a trucking business and has replaced 6 or 7 of them this year in his 18 wheeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 No need to worry about it. Flat tires, dead battery, or squeaky brakes will let you know when it happens. No need to worry about it until then..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you get a crack and pretty much screwed. Crappy thing is it’s a month too late. Gotta pat the deductible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that was the Forester. $8,000 worth of hail damage back in ‘16. Despite environmental and road disasters, I’m a big Subaru fan now. Great vehicles.

Raylan Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Things breaking and going south is a pain, in last 12 months replaced a furnace that went out in middle of winter (took almost 2 weeks), then repaired new furnace after basement flooded and took out water heater too and damage lots of stuff stored there. Then ride mower broke - paid to fix it and turns out they didn't and ended up having to get a new ride mower. Then well had problems and had 3 different well people look at it and none could figure out why there was so much air and thus crap from the pipes getting in the system, that finally cleared up on it's own after a couple of months and 4 toliet tank valve replacements and 2 showerheads. Then went to turn on heat for winter and the furnace was out again and had to relace the whole control board. Stuff happens, but at least this year I didn't have to go into the hospital for heart problems like the last two years, so I count it as a better year this year so far.
