    I dunno it's all over social and Hockey News reported it as happening...I'd like to believe it's not true but supposedly they're getting a strong LHD and #1 goalie for him (also traded some draft picks)

    I bet he retires after this year, from a business perspective I get it but it just feels like they did him dirty

    Korpisalo does look good. Put up decent numbers on a bottom dwelling team this year which is no easy feat for a goalie

    I think about that all the time and have cyclical tendencies.

    Weekly my brain follows the same thoughts....
    I love having the power and craziness of my Mercedes. But then I feel like I should get something more practical like a wagon. Then I feel like I shouldn't be gambling with money like that so a used Prius really is a smart move for a DD. Nah nah nah, the AMG is where it's at, I'm gonna drive the wheels off it rain or shine. Oh but I just washed it and there's a chance of rain, talk about a waste of money if I get it dirty right away. The green truck could work. Hey this isn't so bad, I forgot how much I like driving a truck. For a second I was going to sell it but it's a good truck and sometimes you need a truck. Man this thing would rip on 31s. But it looks good on 35s.... This is expensive to just look good since I don't seem to wheel any more. I should drive the Mercedes more but I haven't driven the van in a bit. Probably should exercise it now. Man this thing is cool. And big. King of the road. Man this is excessive driving 5ton truck to take myself to work. I should drive the Mercedes. Rinse and repeat.

    Heard from VW, only thing they've found to note in the wagon is likely a partially clogged heater core. Only blowing warm out of one side of vents)
    This thing sat for long periods ('18 with 5700 on it, so...not driven much) Coolant break down?
    Wonder if that's the sweet smell I've been getting.

    Anyway, so far that's all they noted. He also said it has to "fully fail" before being covered under warranty, but seems to me like if its clogged even partially and the vehicle isn't operating normally then that should be covered. I can bring it up when I pick it up. Still have a week to decide if I wanna keep it. Coolant flush and new core seem in order.

    What kind of BS is that, has to "fully fail" before they'll fix it? It's not working as it should that means it's faulty lol. Sounds like they are trying to get it outside of the warranty period so they can deny it altogether

    Yeah I need to ask him on pickup. I don't know wtf that's supposed to mean haha, it has failed. From what I've read online, it seems like if it's clogged, they replace it. And it's a full on, dash off affair, not like I'm attempting it in the driveway on an under warranty vehicle.

    Think I'm going to throw a new throttle position sensor on the 4runner, this throttle lag is getting annoying as hell. Only $55 from McGeorge and easy to replace so what the hell, see if that fixes it.

    yeah I need to do that tonight and Friday, tomorrow after work I need to get under the 4runner and top off the front diff for good measure

    if it leaks enough you never need to do any full on changes right
