List mail car dealer in uae

Dear FIAT USA:
Last year I purchased a used 2014 FIAT 500L with less than 60,000 miles on it. In the year I’ve owned it, I’ve experienced the following failures that have needed repair:
· Turbo failure
· Headliner sag / adhesive failure
· Exterior paint clear-coat failure
· Neutral safety switch Failure
· Rear hatch latch failure
· Alarm system programming failure
· Tire pressure monitoring system module failure
· Multi-air brick failure
· Driver sun visor failure (stalk became brittle, snapped)
· Passenger sun visor tension failure
· Rear license plate light assembly failure
· Coolant system component failure
The last of the latter listed failures (I’m sitting here thinking there HAS TO BE at least one other thing I’ve missed on that long distinguished list) required radiator replacement as well as upper and lower radiator hose replacement. Unfortunately, the upper radiator hose, part number 68261751AA, is on indefinite backorder as it has been for months. My car has likewise been undriveable for months as it requires said part to be operational again.
It’s one thing to make vehicles that are of low-quality, such low quality that the cost of repairing this vehicle far exceeds the (roughly) $10,000 I paid for it in only a year’s time. But, it’s another thing to manufacture vehicles…of any quality standard…but particularly those of FIAT standards where it’s well-known that replacement parts WILL BE NEEDED and OFTEN…..and NOT STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SUCH THAT DEALERSHRIPS MAY AVAIL THEMSELVES TO SAID PARTS WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED.
Are you surprised you sold a total of 602 new FIAT vehicles in the United States during the entirety of 2023? That’s a far cry from the 46, 999 units you sold in 2012. People thought back in 2012 they could trust FIAT again; surely they were not the same build quality as they were in the 1980s when you withdrew from the United States entirely, right? But, apparently, as stupid as the average consumer is, even they understood how bad FIAT quality still was and it showed by 2017 when sales began dropping to a tune of 26,492 units.

When I talk to FIAT dealers, few and far between as they are in the United States, I see no new cars being offered. The sales reps say they are by special order only because the demand isn’t there. The truth of the matter is that not only consumers don’t want them but the mechanics at FIAT dealerships cringe whenever anyone brings a FIAT in for service and repair because even the factory authorized dealers have a hard time figuring out what’s wrong with these things. Places like Jiffy Lube won’t even touch a FIAT, not even for a simple oil change! Some extended warranty companies won’t even sell a policy covering these vehicles; is it a wonder why?
I had to go out and buy a second car while still continuing to may payments on this 2014 FIAT 500L, thus mandating I make two car payments in lieu of one that I can barely afford (thus why I bought the car in the first place, as valuation on used FIATs are understandably depressed as compared to other makes here) just so the 500L can sit for God knows how long in the dealer’s satellite lot and rot away under a tree while it futility awaits FIAT to ship a radiator hose. You’d think one would be able to use a generic radiator hose but no: that hose was made to be specific for that car such that I cannot even substitute a generic because of a fitting specific to the model! You have to be kidding me!
You all should be ashamed of yourselves, first of all. Second of all, I hope you pull out of the United States market altogether. Why stay here in the States if you are not wanting to put forward effort in stocking even the simplest of parts for the cars you do offer here? Even the parts that were available in the long list of those that failed that I previously enumerated only numbered less than a handful in availability, such as there having been one sole neutral safety switch that the dealer was able to see available in national inventory when that failed. As the dealership’s service manager put it: “It’s almost like they want these things off of the road”. I don’t think you all want these things off the road. In fact, I don’t think the cars you sell to U.S motorists even cross your mind after they drive off of the sales floor. FIAT simply does not care about FIAT owners and the cars they are attempting to maintain!

So, I collected all the spaceship parts, got the space buggy and then drove it all the way back to Franklin's house. Got out, had to move a car out of my garage, turned around and the car had despawned. no fucking way did that just happen. WTF! and they don't give you another way to get the car back. Fucking shit. I am rather steamed if you can't bloody tell. this came out in 2013 Rockstar (on PS5 version) fix your fucking shit. GTA6 better have a lot of QoL improvements. I want fast travel and for this kind of shit to not happen. Give us an unlocked car list or something. god damn. Anyways, post some of your "awesome" glitches that ruined your day.

I found two used cars that I really like (both at the same dealer) and can’t decide which one would be a better choice. I’m a college student whose main use would be driving a few hundred miles to school and back a few times a year, and fairly regular use around the city, so I need a reliable and not super expensive car (including maintenance costs). Any advice or recommendations are appreciated, and here are the stats for the two cars:
2007 Grand Marquis GS $5,500 125,000 miles Clean title No accidents 2 previous owners RWD
2008 Ford Taurus X $6,000 55,000 miles Clean title 1 accident (no damage reported) 2 previous owner FWD
Both are right in my price range, and I really like how much space they offer. I don’t care too much about looks, and both have their own little aches and pains that I’m not worried about. Most of the features are comparable between the two, but I’m happy to answer any questions about features or anything else that needs clarification.

The smog place said the error was reading a code that meant I had to take it to the dealer.
The dealer charged me $250 for a diagnostic fee, and all they did was drive my car around for 50 miles and set the monitors.
Isn't this something a dealership should make sure works before selling the car in the first place? It is a 2022 Pilot. It should not be failing smog. Did I get ripped off?

I am in California and I bought a car off FB marketplace from a private seller whose name wasn't on the title. He said he buys cars and resells them for profit and I didn't want to purchase the car until he could assure that the car was able to be under my name.
Private seller suggested a smog and registration service that is DMV approved because he knows the people that work there. I searched the location and everything seemed legit and had good reviews.
The day we went to transfer the title under my name, I asked the person doing the transfer if everything was correct that there were no issues and he assured me that nothing was wrong and to just wait for the title in the mail in 2 weeks.
Fast forward 1 week later I see that the title says Not Actual Mileage. So I run a Carfax ( I know I should have done this beforehand but this was my first time buying a car so now I'm paying the consequences) and found out that the car has 280,000 miles and not 86,000 like I thought it had. I messaged the seller and obviously he didn't reply and used a fake profile and blocked me.
I did some investigation and found his real social media and real name so I will provide that to the police when I file a police report on him. I also see other that a lot of his friends are mechanics and registration services which makes me believe that this is a group of people working to scam people of their money in that area.
I also found out that the registration place I transferred my title at had another yelp reviewer this year say that that place does fraud and works with scammers in the area trying to sell cars that do not work, so I am not the first person this has happened to. Like I said, this is a legit business.
At this point I am not sure what to do and how to go about this. I am assuming my first step be to file a police report. But since I cannot reach the private seller can I also make a report on the business for fraud?
Any information is appreciated.

I am looking to get a new Mirage GT from a Mitsubishi dealer in Vancouver Canada. A quick search is showing that dealers are pricing these cars above MSRP. What price is a reasonable price for a new Mirage GT right now?
Will be paying cash.

I posted last week about a Tacoma that I wanted, but could not find the time to go see.
Pulled the trigger at 23K list price / 26K out the door. 2016 Limited 4x4 - 135K miles with no rust. It also included (most) of the TRD options added from the factory. Mag Gray w/ Brown leather interior. 4th Florida owner with great records.
Dealer would not budge on price (it was under KBB) so I worked out a loan I was content with. Negotiations were friendly, but I continually reminded them how much I was trusting them to buy a truck that I’d never seen. They pushed extremely hard for a warranty, but I’m not a moron so I passed.
Unfortunately, I learned that their return policy was for “dealer credit” - which is essentially worthless to me. If they sold me a bad truck, why would I return? I knew I’d be stuck with this truck no matter what.
I asked that they start the deal off with a good faith gesture, and bring the truck to home. They reluctantly agreed. (100 mile drive)
I signed the final papers in my driveway and took her for a test drive yesterday.
Mechanically, the truck is fantastic. Drives flawlessly! Thrilled that it runs like new. Phew.
The interior is an 8/10. Plenty of tiny scratches and scuffs you’d expect on an 8 year old truck. No big deal. 135K miles isn’t nothing.
Then there’s the exterior… eh. I was underwhelmed. Here are my gripes, that were either never mentioned, or couldn’t be clearly seen in photos.
All 4 door handles are chipping, bad. They all need to be removed and wrapped, or repainted. No idea how these were not more obvious in photos.
Tonneau cover is completely baked by the sun, and almost worthless. The rubber seals at the tri-fold seams are melted and crusty. Touching it leaves roofing tar on your hands. It’s a 75lb piece of garbage.
The exterior badges were plasti-dipped… maybe 3 years ago? They’re clearly peeling and need to be redone.
Multiple interior LED lights are out. Only 1 overhead light works. Most others all have dead bulbs. (Possible fuse issue but haven’t checked.)
One tag light is burned out.
Mismatched tire brands. Goodyear on the left, Kumho on the right.
No floor mats. Literally… bare carpet. This was covered by paper dealer mats in the photos.
To be fair, if these are the worst of my problems, I made out like a bandit. I’m mostly annoyed at the lack of “due diligence” from the dealer. These are not hard fixes or even deal breakers… it’s just a stack of annoying problems that are now my problems.
Swapping bulbs, tossing the tonneau cover, wrapping the handles, and ordering some floor mats on Amazon will set me back a couple hundreds bucks, max. But it’ll end up being a day’s worth of work, and I most certainly could have had the dealer do all of these things if I was there in person. BUT. I wasn’t, and that’s on me. Lesson learned.
Ultimately still feels like a good buy. Not optimal, but I did not get screwed.
TLDR: Mechanically sound. Complaints are all minor. Door handles need paint, interior lights are out, tonneau cover is busted, and floor mats were missing. If I went in person, I could have easily negotiated these fixes. But because I bought remotely, I have to eat the inconveniences. I did not get screwed by any means; just slightly annoyed. Ultimately worth it.

New to me 2016 BRZ. The exhaust is way too loud for me, looking for a quieter option.
The Toyota dealer is saying the exhaust is all custom from engine to muffler, and that I cannot just swap the muffler for a stock one.
Can anyone with experience on custom exhausts for these cars weigh in, does it sound right that I can't just swap mufflers?
Dealer estimated like $4k to replace it all, instead of $300 or so for the muffler.

I've rented a Polestar on work trips twice in the last year and fell in love with the car. (The trip prior, I had rented a Tesla...and found it to be completely frustrating and I swore I'd never own one. That was before Musk bought Twitter too.) Anyway, my wife and son came along for the last trip and she also loved the Polestar 2 we rented. (My son was 5 at the time and liked how it was quiet and thought the acceleration was fun. It's sparked a mild interest in EVs for him.)
We've decided that when our 2017 Nissan Murano kicks the bucket in a couple years (New England winters can be rough on cars), we'd like to get an EV and Polestar is the #1 contender by far.
Q1) Do you have to do the whole song and dance with the dealer to negotiate a price or is the price the price like back in the old Saturn days? (I hate negotiation for car prices. Just tell me how much you'll sell it for and let me buy it.)
Q2) Should we have an electrician install a 220V outlet in the garage for faster charging? (We need to have an electrician come anyway since our garage frustratingly only has ONE outlet, so we need a couple more 120V ones. Wondering if I should have him do 220V while he's here.)
Q3) I hear a lot of non-Tesla EV chargers tend to be broken. The Polestar 2 we rented in February didn't work with the hotel's Tesla charger and we had to use a different brand. (One night a Tesla took the last remaining non-Tesla charger even though some Tesla ones were available and that was super annoying.) Can Polestar vehicles use Tesla chargers now? I'm wondering if the rental didn't have an adapter that's not included or what the deal is there.
Q4) What's the one thing you wish you knew before getting your Polestar?

35F and I need to buy a car. When I got my first one 15+ years ago, my dad was here to help do it all but I'm doing it alone now, and I know nothing about cars or buying them.
A few questions if anyone can help (in Chicago if it's relevant):
Can I go to a dealership and just test drive a few without them pressuring me to buy something that day? There's a few Honda dealers here, and I think a Carmax nearby. I know I want a Honda (currently have an 04 Accord), I'm leaning toward a CRV Hybrid 21/22. Other options would be a hybrid Accord 21/22, or a HRV 21/22. I want a hybrid, have never owned an SUV but want trunk space so I'm leaning toward the first, but I really need to see how big it is to drive.
I plan to pay for most of it upfront because I've been saving the money for years to get it and I don't want to be paying for interest. Is this a bad thing to tell them, are they going to upcharge me?
Is there anything I need to do before I go to a place to actually buy one? I have license plate stickers/city stickers on my car, when I get one are they going to peel that off my car and slap it on the new one? (I know I'll have to change the registration with the state/city afterwards)
Thanks.

I [F32] love gift giving to others, but it isn't exactly my boyfriend's [M35] favorite because he seems to stress over the fact that he might get me the wrong thing, or that I may not like it. Mind you, I enjoy gift giving, but I could care less about receiving gifts (based on my childhood and growing up). But my partner insists on buying me gifts during the holidays (probably because of my childhood) He always does a great job, however he will spend weeks stressing over the fact that he has to go out to buy me the perfect things. So, I made a list of all of my favorite things, from simple to detailed answers. Shared them with him so now he knows what I like! Here is the list... I will tell you, not only did my boyfriend benefit from this list, but all of my best friends asked for this "manual" for the holidays, and I have asked them to reciprocate! So we all never miss on guessing if they are going to like the gift or not! Feel free to add/take off the list. But this will SAVE relationships if gift giving is stressful.

I’m currently driving a 2011 blacked out Chevy impala LT w/ 174k miles on it for 3 yrs now bought it for $3k private FB sale @122k miles, just recently for the first time got a check engine for 2 emissions leak I believe and other things are wrong mechanically. Looking into financing this 2014 Chevy impala with 87k miles I do love the style.
What are your thoughts? I have never financed or had any loans besides the self loan for 700$.
Waiting to see what numbers they give me and they want $1900DP for it. It’s listed at $15,990 With gap insurance/ dealer fees/registration fees/ banks interest etc etc what do you think im looking at for the total loan amount. I’m guessing around 22k but is that too much for a 2014?? It’s still in question if I want to make this move,the dealer said they only do 3 yr loans and it would roughly be 530 monthly for the car note and 274 for insurance and I honestly can’t get any lower rates as I’m considered high risk from past car insurance mistakes.

Hello! I'm about to jump back into the query trenches and thought I'd see what you fine folks had to say about the query letter. It's my first time querying horror and came across the term "light horror" which I think fits my story. It's not overly gory but it's essentially a haunted house story. If that's not the right term, please let me know. Either way, thanks for looking it over! I included the first 300 words below as well because why the hell not.
Dear Agent,
I'm seeking representation for my adult fiction novel CENTER VALLEY. I read on your [agency] bio of your interest in [something] and thought it would be a good fit for your list.
CENTER VALLEY is a light horror novel complete at 75,000 words. It will interest fans of HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE by Grady Hendrix and THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE by Carissa Orlando.
Ben Baker never thought flipping a house would lead to a maniac attacking his family with a hammer.
He inherited his father’s hardware store and has been doing everything he can to keep it open, including dipping into his family’s savings account. His wife Hannah trusts him with the family finances until she gets into a car accident and finds out there’s not nearly as much in the bank as she thought.
Ben’s brother Hank offers a way to make some quick money—buy a foreclosed house on the outskirts of town and flip it themselves. With no other idea of how to replace the money, Ben reluctantly agrees.
But when they finally get into the house, they find something in the attic that neither can explain. A house—complete with windows, a roof, and a bathroom—sits behind a makeshift wall of thin plywood. Hank is curious but Ben is immediately unsettled, and neither can say exactly why.
Soon, Ben sees shadows move in ways they shouldn’t, hears strange noises from the attic, and realizes that they have a lot more to worry about than simply finishing the remodel within their budget when the strange occurrences follow him home.
[bio]
Thanks,
[me]
First 300 words:
I would’ve hugged my daughter a little tighter if I had known a madman would attack her with a hammer before her next birthday. But of course, there was no way for me to know so instead I just threw my empty beer bottle at Hank’s kneecap.
“Ah jeez look at that,” I said. This was one of our dad’s top moves. The other was to simply drop the empty bottle between his feet—he could be standing in the kitchen right next to Mom, it didn’t matter—and stare you in the eyes with this dumb grin on his face.
Hank just laughed and reached into the cooler on the opposite side of his lawn chair. Birthday parties are incredibly easy when your brother has a daughter the same age as yours. He pulled out another High Life and threw it back to me. April 26th was a tough birthday in middle Wisconsin. Depending on the year, you could get a nice spring-like day or a snowstorm. We lucked out this year.
“Why didn’t you get the big one?” Hank said, nodding to the bounce house that filled up more than half of my backyard.
“He didn’t want to pay for the semi to deliver it,” said Hannah. My wife of nine years. She was only five feet tall but goddamn she was a giant to me. Have you ever been afraid of a person you could throw through a window with one arm? That was her. Worthless on moving day but you didn’t want to see her get angry. I used to joke that she had an amplifier in her ribcage. The decibel level she could reach was freakish and downright terrifying, especially if you didn’t see it coming. She once stopped a dog fight just by screaming as loud as she could.

please literally anyone I'm begging 🙏
Heyyy Im litch really bored these days because my friends are the distant type and I just want someone to feel close with and I don't think I'm that bad . I'm really bad at convo starters but if we match energy or have something in common I can YAP I like Lightning mqueen Cars Lego Avatar the last airbender and legend of korra Flowers English and books Smash bros and Mario kart Badminton K dramas and I got a whole list 💪 My music taste is pretty broad too Studio ghibli But pretty pls someone just speak to me fr xx

multiple content warnings, i’m sorry, this will be long, this isn’t even everything and it’s a damn book i am 19. i was 11 when i had to grow up. my parents decided to divorce after months of fighting, letting us know a week before my 12th birthday. you know, the classic divorce story. my dad moved out and my mom started dating people. it moved so fast. we moved to a different area, even though we had just moved into a new house a year earlier, leaving my childhood hometown behind. my mom was trying to pursue school so we were living on student aid and stamps. (i have 3 siblings, so there were 5 of us) i started middle school in that area and was doing pretty well off. then my mom got pretty serious with someone i’m going to call SOB, he doesn’t deserve a name. my mom and SOB were dating for two months before that thing proposed to my mom. we met him once before he was labeled our step dad. my mom sat us down and told us we’d be moving to idaho to be closer to her family. come to find out, the whole reason for going there was because SOB is an ex convict and he couldn’t leave idaho because that’s were his parole was.
we were told at the time that he was framed for kidnapping and he had a whole story crafted to back it up. being a kid and needing my mom, i didn’t ask or dig about it. so we moved to idaho. i started school there and immediately got death threats. i got called a hoe relentlessly for seemingly being pretty. eventually things calmed down and i had friends, but that place was tiny and once people have formed an opinion of you, there’s no changing it, so it was hard to get around.
SOB was awful to my younger brother. we’ll call this brother zayn. zayn has bad adhd and has always struggled with school. he’s one of the smartest people i know, but getting assignments in is not his forte. so as a result he’s never had the highest grades. SOB hated the fact that my brother wasn’t doing great and would literally stand there and scream at him to get his work done. there was one time that i was in my room and i started to hear my brother screaming so immediately i’m upstairs to help him, SOB was literally chasing my brother around our house with a damn bat screaming at him like a demon was coming out. i yelled at him to leave my brother alone and things just got darker after that. me and my brother were scum to him and he ran our house like the hunger games. my other little brother and my older sister were prized jewels, they got everything they wanted and more, and SOB would rub it in our faces. he even gave my dog away, i went days worrying about her and looking because i thought she had ran away, to find out that some other person had my dog now and i wouldn’t ever get her back.
fasting forward a little, SOB violated his parole by going on a trip that wasn’t fully approved and got put back in jail right before christmas. my mom completely threw herself into trying to get him out. me and my sister noticed that my mom hadn’t gotten a single thing to be santa for my brothers, so we scraped up the money we had to get gifts so my brothers wouldn’t lose their christmas spirit seeing that santa didn’t come when things were already so bad as it was. i love that i was able to do this for them, the smiles on their faces, i will never forget that christmas.
after a long time of having a very absent mother, she was able to get SOB out of jail. he came back even worse of a monster then when he left. he sexually assaulted my mom, committed all kinds of fraud, basically stole all of my papa’s retirement money, the list goes on. my mom decided she wanted a divorce and when he found out, he went crazy. he locked all of us out of our house and threw our things on the lawn. it rained, i lost so many things, a one of a kind paper mache venitian mask i had gotten on a trip with my dad to italy included.
it’s 2020 by now and we went on a trip to Texas, to meet the person my dad was dating. on the trip, I very much learned that she was not for my dad. but, all reasoning was in vain. my dad proposed, and we had literally just met her. so that was that my dad was engaged now and focused on trying to move them out to him and getting a new house. my mom decided at that time that she wanted to move too so we had a choice, move to my dads and go back to the area i grew up in, or go with my mom to another ranch town in idaho. i chose my dads. my brothers came with, but my sister stayed with my grandparents where we lived in idaho so she could graduate.
things were fine for a bit. my mom was dating a lot and even got engaged. then she told us about this other guy she had been seeing, who had given her a 500 mile ride home from somewhere. immediately suspicious, especially because she wouldn’t drop a name. come to find out other guy was SOB. SOB proposes to her again and she’s got two engagement rings from two different people. everyone was like, what the actual shit are you doing. my mom was in a very cooky state of mind, broke things off with the other guy, and stayed with SOB. there was a weekend in september that my cousin had something going on so my extended family and everything was all there and we decided there needed to be some kind of intervention. to keep things short, it didn’t go well. my mom ended up leaving and she told me and my sister that she didn’t want to be our mom anymore. found out through facebook a couple days later that my mom and SOB were married.
then came the everlasting fun of a custody battle. my step mom had gotten into my dads head saying he needed to take full custody. now i wasn’t the biggest fan of my mom at the time, but that didn’t mean i never wanted to see her. my parents hated each other. there were a few times in exchanges that the cops ended up being called.
for a while my dad had pretty bad anger issues. low blood sugar, overstimulation, bad smells, anything could set him off. i just so happened to have a very large target on my back so i got the brunt of everything. i wouldn’t let him yell at my brothers and this resulted in me getting the lashings, but i would do it all again if that meant protecting my brothers. he wasn’t angry all the time, there were a lot of good days, but it was definitely pretty tortuous for a while. a lot of the problem, which i knew would happen to begin with, was my step mom. she is one of the laziest people i’ve ever known, which is the complete opposite of my dad. my dad likes to do things, he’s always active. so he was frustrated because he would want to do things with his wife there, and she would almost always refuse, so she could have a quiet day in bed. my step mom had also convinced herself that i was stealing from her. she ransacked my room multiple times, to no avail. she took my car keys ‘until she could prove i was taking things from her’ and i only got them back because they were sick of giving me rides places. she actually ended up stealing some of my things trying to claim they were hers, so she hid them and i haven’t seen them since.
so yeah i got yelled at a lot, accused of being a thief, and my relationship with my mom was shit + the joys of high school. i have been doing musical theater my whole life. when i first got to my new high school i was so excited because, although i wasn’t able to audition for the productions companies that year, the teacher told me i was a shoe in for the next year. she ended up leaving and we got a new teacher, if you can even call her that. so it’s my junior year, the first year with her, and it wasn’t bad, i got some good parts and did really well. i ended up getting nominated for an award for one of my performances and it was at this time, i don’t know what happened, but she did not like me anymore. she told me that she accepted the nomination for me, but i found out not too long later that she never accepted it and i was in favor to win so the judges were very puzzled by it. she accepted my friends nominations and kinda rubbed it in my face that i never got anything back. like’ awe are you sad because you didn’t hear anything from the judges? well so and so over here did😈’
the summer after that year i cut my hair pretty short. i wouldn’t say i’m not ‘girly’ but i definitely have a more masculine ‘bro’ persona comparatively. so now it’s my senior year, it matters a lot more at this point to try for good parts because it’s my last run. to keep it simple, my teacher wouldn’t cast me because i was too masculine, not even as a guy ?? idk make it make sense. i got one part my entire senior year, and i know it’s not because i’m bad. but i wrote and produced my own show that ended up being 100x the quality of the shows she produced, so i did get redemption. long story short, it really sucks to watch the peers your just as good as continue to succeed, while you get kicked out of the room for being distracting when you haven’t said a word. the reason they didn’t like me ? i’m good at improv, i kid you not i was told i was too creative and it bothered them. i know my presence scared the teachers there because i’m not a classic conformist theater kid that does anything and everything the teacher says.
anyways, so after years of trying to rekindle a relationship with my mom, fighting with an ass teacher and getting yelled at almost daily, a lot of worth questioning, and a flurry of weed later, i graduated.
both of my brothers in this time attempted to end their lives and were in facilities for a bit. i decided at that time to move in with my mom to hopefully help our relationship. it did a lot. me and my mom are best friends now. but it hasn’t been because of nothing. SOB had become the most controlling narcissistic asshole and my mom was just acting having any feelings for him so he wouldn’t take everything away from her. he monitored everything my mom did. he hit my mom in an intimate moment, and almost beat zayn, but i covered him and ended up slicing my arm open on our fireplace, once again i would do this 100 times over to protect my brother. i decided i wanted to dig everything up on him that i could. what i found was mortifying. i won’t go into too much detail, but there were a lot of charges, multiple of them being SA of a child. i vowed at that moment that i would do anything it takes to get him back behind bars. he’s actively on the offender list and he works across the street from a preschool, not on my fukin watch ass hat.
i will never forget the true terror on my moms face that that man caused. it got to the point where my mom would get really scared if she started crying because she knew he’d freak out at her if he noticed. i came back to my locked room, that i have the only key to, with holes in my walls in weird places, and in my bathroom too. a couple days before, my brother found a camera in his room, so i knew what it was and that SOB was spying on me. i taped them all up and came to stay at my bfs house and have been here since. after months of his treacherous cycle my mom had enough and left to a safe house, she’s there now. the divorce is going though but from some reason the stupid system denied my mom a protective order against him. he has full access to our house and things right now, and he’s trying to make 90,000 so he can baile his way out of the insurance fraud case against him that could get him back in jail in june. i’m so worried he’s selling my things because he so would. everything i have left is in that house and it’s all at his whim now.
when i moved in with my mom, i started a job at a fancy high end restaurant because i knew it would be good money. i’ve had problems with this my entire life, but ever since starting my job there, i have experienced countless creeps who have sexualized me in more ways then i thought possible. it’s made me feel so worthless. it’s people i work with and people who come in. drunk guys from the bar are the worst, and they’re all filthy rich so they don’t care about a thing in the world. i need to quit but i don’t know where else to go
my dad has now decided as of like two weeks ago, that he will be moving to florida. i never anticipated him moving across the country and leaving the last place i could call home. he also started therapy a couple months ago and his anger issues are pretty much nonexistent at this point. so i got my dad back but now he’s leaving again. i always hoped that as i got older, my family would always be pretty close, close enough that i could seem them once a week if i wanted. it’s really killing me because i was so close to that, to getting my family back. my sister has been in france the last couple years and she’s coming back in a couple weeks. my dad will be moving almost immediately after. we finally got to a point where my mom is free, my dad is happy, we’re all healing, and now my family will be broken up more then ever before by distance. my parents don’t hate each other anymore, my sister is coming home, we would all be able to spend time together again, never more.
so i’m at this point now, where i’ve been fighting for my family, taking every hit with hope in my heart for something i was so close to having, for 7 years i’ve been hoping. and just like that, the light at the end of this very long, cold and dark tunnel fades, and i’m left once again, in the cold dark nothingness that is hoping for a better day, that will never come.
so i’m left questioning, is overcoming another mountain worth it if there’s a whole range of painful climbing ahead of me? i’m so tired, my whole body hurts every day, my mind and soul are toiled with the pain of my lifetime, everyone in my family is moving on with their own paths and it’s only a matter of time before i’m only hearing from them every once in a while. i don’t want to do life, the world is so messed up right now and i don’t see it getting better. there’s too much pain and i can’t handle it. nothing seems worth hoping let alone living for anymore. i bid you adieu and wish you all the best 💗

CM Septenary DRIVE
Hello and good day to all the fine people of worldbuilding. This is day 4 post 4 of my 10 part series of the release of ‘Septenary’, a creative tool from the project ‘Canon Mode.’ I’m not in a great mood right now because I’m begrudgingly writing this again after a couple days ago when after spending an hour writing this post it got lost in the ether when I tried posting it. F!@# my life. Well whatever doesn’t kill you makes you brighter no one says. So if this post is a little lackluster that’s the excuse I’m using.
And actually on that note, how is everyone actually doing, actually? I’m asking because I haven’t had any feedback on any of these posts yet. I’ve been getting upvotes, which means that at least some of you are liking the posts but that’s all I got. So if anyone’s got the time I’d be really interested in hearing what you guys have to say. I’m not just talking positive feedback or constructive criticism I literally want to know anything you think about it. Basically everything I work on has a reason it was chosen to be made that way, so even something as simple as “the term you used in that one your groups sounds weird” might have a bigger impact than you think because those are the types of things I ultimately take account of.
CM SEPT 2 Fundamentals Extended 1.2 SHEET COLOR
CM SEPT 2 Fundamentals Extended 1.2 SHEET GRAYSCALE
Today we’ll be looking at the ‘Attributes’ group of the ‘Fundamentals’ septenary. This group was originally created with the intent of aiding with character design. The issue when trying to create such a group was that it’s impossible to create a list of all the different types of species and beings that exist. So instead of trying to make a giant list it was instead easier to create a more basic list of things that can then go on to further define the features of something else.
(ATTRIBUTES)
The term ‘Attributes’ was chosen specifically when making this group because the advantage of focusing on just the attributes of certain things means that this entire group is not just applicable to character creation but as well anything else that might have defining features of some sort. To start customizing and giving attributes to things it’s first needed to have something one is wanting to customize. A character, a house, a car, an outfit, a smartphone, or anything else really that’s either tangible or physical can be given any of these attributes.
{MYSTICAL}
The mystical subgroup describes things related to God, spirituality, or the supernatural. Things like halos and wings, horns and pointed tails, clouds and heavenliness, fire and brimstone, religious figures and symbols are all things that might be considered mystical in nature. If one were to take into account ‘Biblically accurate angels’ then we might see giant floating dismembered body parts as mystical attributes as well. Generally speaking though anything that could be considered magical might be something that could be described as having mystical attributes.
{EXTRATERRESTRIAL}
The word ‘extraterrestrial’ was chosen over the word ‘alien’ specifically because of the implication of each word. Extraterrestrial describes things whose origin exists outside of Earth or whatever planet is being discussed. Alien on the other hand only implies that something is foreign to whatever is being described. The difference being is that something that’s extraterrestrial has a completely different origin than something that’s from Earth or a particular planet. The term alien on the other hand doesn’t necessarily describe this, as something that is alien could be foreign but still be of the same origin. That is to say something alien can still be related to the thing being described while something extraterrestrial has no relation to what’s being described.
{MYTHICAL}
The word ‘Mechanical’ was also chosen over the words ‘cyborg’ or ‘robot’ because they were too limiting otherwise. Cyborg and robot are terms which only describe mechanical beings, not necessarily anything else that might be mechanical. You could have a mechanical bird, or maybe mechanical food, or even a mechanical tree. Anything could be mechanical really if one has enough motivation, inspiration and determination.
{MYTHICAL}
When first creating the ‘Mythical’ subgroup it was in an attempt to create a complete list of every mythical being. The problem? That’s impossible, because there are an infinite amount of beings that are already either well established or could be created otherwise. Some of the common ones might be elves, fairies, werewolves, undead, giants, warlocks/wizards/witches, ghosts/spirits, orcs/trolls, dwarves/gnomes, and many many more.
{NATURALISTIC}
The word ‘naturalistic’ was chosen for this subgroup specifically so it could include both forest people and furry people. Walking, talking plants, trees, and animals were the inspiration for this subgroup, basically anything that’s found in a forest could apply. There are a lot of other things that could also be considered naturalistic too though. Rocks, water features, dirt/sand, or anything else really that relates to nature.
{OBJECTIFIED}
Unlike most of the subgroups in the Attributes group, ‘Objectified’ is not a well established idea such as the others. The idea with the objectified subgroup was for it to describe in particular living inanimate beings. Features of objectified things might include blank or missing features, ultra rounded or sharply edged parts, ridged or impossible statures, or exaggerated and unreal characteristics. Really anything that looks like an object could be considered as part of the ‘Objectified’ subgroup.
{SPECTRAL}
This last group is a bit more tricky because the typical defining feature of spectres is that they’re transparent or invisible. That doesn’t leave much room to work with. Other ideas for spectral attributes might include auras, glowingness, dull flat colors and shading, soft edges, broken or damaged parts, wisps, and in general anything ethereal or spirit-like in nature. While not always possible, another feature of spectral things is that they float. They are also typically intangible, meaning they can pass through physical things. The unfortunate difficulty when describing something spectral is that many of the things that could be described this way depend on context and might be situational.
Generally speaking though it could be said that things that are spectral exist on a spectrum. This is because the definition of spectral is ‘of a spectrum.’ It’s not exactly clear what that actually means, but it could be seen as a starting point or inspiration
{Conclusion}
Usually I try to end with something insightful or profound but for this post I just don’t have it. I’m not necessarily upset over the time I spent and lost over the prior version of this post that I was working on as much as it is very upsetting that I lost the specific work I wrote. While I’m pretty sure I still covered the important ideas for this installment there still were a few very specific things that I wrote that I’ll never remember. I think the worst part about rewriting this post wasn’t that I necessarily couldn’t remember everything I wanted to say, it’s just that the inspiration to write it was gone. The quality of this post as a result really plummeted because of the fact that I was already aware of everything I wrote and no longer had that initial inspiration.
I think if I were to end on any note this time I’d say I think it’s interesting the progression from when I first came up with this idea to how it turned out. It started with me trying to list literally every type of entity or being someone might want to make into a character. Then it turned into trying to make a group of base characteristics which could then go on to define an already existent being. And it was only later that I came to the conclusion that it was possible to make the group more general by calling it attributes which opens it up to it being able to describe pretty much anything that has defining features of some sort. I think being aware of that progression has been a very valuable learning experience for me because it explores further these sort of all-encompassing ideas.
That’s all for this post. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I am currently in CA and plan to move to florida. My question is if i want my car's license plate to be florida and my driver license to be florida. Do I have to bring my car from california to florida? or the plate can be ship by mail. (I was thinking of leaving it in my father's gargage instead of bringing it to florida).

Hello Reddit,
I just wanted to know if I got a decent deal or not on the new car I just bought since I really don't know and the car sales people do a good job of confusing me.
I bought a brand new 2024 Mazda CX30 Select Sport. The MSRP was $26,500 plus $1,375 destination and $195 for all weather floor mats and $595 for Machine Gray Metallic paint charge bringing total MSRP to $28,660 on the window sticker.
They had an online deal listing this car at $24,589 with dealer discounts. I just had to make a print out from the website and show it to the finance manager which I did. They had a bunch of select sports with this same internet price.
When I got there I asked for an extra $500 off because their doc fee was $999 which I thought was crazy. Eventually they gave it to me but they kept wanting to talk about my monthly car payment budget.
I know you are only supposed to ask about the out the door price which I was doing but they kept confusing me and circling back to the monthly payment.
I told them I wanted to put $5,000 down and wanted a 72 month term. They said do I have financing? I said yes but didn't want to tell them who. They kept saying we need to know. I kept saying no. But they kept badgering. I eventually gave in and told them Capital One.
They said what's the rate. I said what rate you can get me first. They said we need to know. I told them 8.9% but I felt I should get something more like 7%. If they could do that I would go with Mazda financing.
They ran my credit application. They said Mazda could only do 10.36%. I was like nope. I got pre-approved at 8.9% with Cap One but I think 7% is possible. They said no way.
My credit score is 640 and I have a bankruptcy from 6 years ago. I have taken out no credit in that 6 years. They mentioned this to me. I said I still think I can get 7% (I had no idea but I was trying not to be a sucker)
Eventually they came back with 8.8% beating Cap One by 0.1% which didn't surprise me.
They kept wanting to talk about the monthly payment and I kept getting confused. They started me at 490 per month for 72 months with my 5k down. I said no way.
By the end of the negotiating I got it down to 400 even. So 90 dollars per month less. Is that okay?
My final rate it says on my contract is actually 8.45 percent.
Charges breakdown are as follows:
Cash price of motor vehicle $24,079.83. (MSRP on the sticker was $28,660 which I mentioned before)
Sales tax in Arizona: $1915.63.
Total Cash Price: $25,995.46.
Down Payment: $5,000
Other rebates: $1,000
Total Down Payment: $6,000
Unpaid Balance of Cash Price: $19,995.46
License and Registration: $507.48
Doc Fee: $999
WEST COAST ASSURANCE for Maintenance Plan: $1,000
Total Other Charges and Amounts Paid to Others on Your Behalf : $2,511.38
Total amount financed $22,506.84
I don't understand the last 2 charges. I told them I wanted no extras on my contract. No Gap. No extended warranties. No maintenance plans. Nothing. Only Tax, title, registration and doc fee. What is the "West Coast Assurance plan" and the "total other charges..."
The finance manager tried initially for $490. I said $400 from the get go. Then he tried for $450. Then at $429 with 3 years of free oil changes but I stuck to $400 and he said how about we meet in the middle at $415. I still said no and he eventually agreed to the $400.
I did not see other charges or west coast assurance when i was signing my documents. Did I get scammed?
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. Thank you.
P.S. I bought the car on Saturday, May 11. I noticed on their website that all the Select Sports are now between $1,500 and $2,500 above the $24,079.63 that I got on their internet deal but I have those additional things added on so I don't know if I got scammed.
TLDR: Please look at the charges and let me know if I got a decent deal or I got took by the car lot. Thank you so much.

These are updated key points on the case from the Daily Mail article
Speaking of the autopsy: "The report gave more details on the grisly injuries the teen sustained in the hours before he died"

1. Roquero detailed extensive injuries to the teen's upper body, including 10 broken ribs, serious skull and neck fractures, internal bleeding, and abrasions all over his body.

2.The skin on left side of his scalp was torn off to the bone and a clump of hair and skin was found in the middle of the highway.
3.' Additionally, a clump of hair was observed on the right buttock without blood or tissue,' Roquero wrote.
4.Both his upper and lower teeth were broken 'with few fragments and found inside the mouth' and others strewn across the road several feet from his body.
5.He was bleeding out of his ears and had a cut on his lower lip and one on his tongue.

1. Presgrove's C1, C2, C6, C7 vertebrae were fractured to varying degrees and C1 was displaced - indicating a seriously broken neck.
   
2. There was one extensive skull fracture running across his head, 'splitting the middle base of skull into two', and multiple smaller ones, with police investigators describing his head as being 'caved in'.
   
3. Roquero wrote that there were 'no vehicle parts or debris observed on the scene', indicating Presgrove was almost certainly not hit by a car.
   

9.' He was naked and was only wearing unmatching shoes. There was a pair of shorts found several feet from the decedent and was reported to be his,' Roquero wrote.

1. 'Additionally, there were three pieces of a white metal chain as well as part of a tooth present several feet from the decedent.'
   
2. Roquero noted there was 'a drawing in black ink of a stick-figure person on the side of the right thigh'.
   
3. A video from the Saturday night of the party, on September 2, showed Presgrove's friends drawing their names and other doodles on his back and buttocks.
   
4. He went home and washed some of it off, but is believed to not have been able to get all of the marker off before he went back to the party the next evening.
   
5. The Adidas shoe Presgrove was wearing was his, and the other, a 'Hey Dude' slip-on, was from another party guest who was asleep at the time.
   
6. The shorts he was wearing were undamaged, despite the grazes on his buttocks
   
7. 'Currently, the OHP is not investigating Presgrove's death as a murder,' it said.
   
8. Then he rode an ATV ranger vehicle with several men that had a roll over incident. The decedent was alive following the incident and returned to the party where he got into an argument with his girlfriend,' it read. 'The decedent left the house party and was not found until the morning of September 4, 2023, on the side of the highway.'
   
9. Presgove's best friend Jack Newton, who was at the party but claimed he was asleep when he disappeared, said it was his ATV that was in the accident.
   
10. 'All of all close friends said that he wrecked my SXS I had there around 3,' he wrote in a message to another friend.
    
11. 'And he was super dirty and super drunk so a couple of girls helped him in the shower.' Newton explained this in the same conversation: 'When he got out [of the shower] he wanted to sleep in one of the girls' bed and she [said no and] that upset him and he walked off.'
    
12. One video from the night he died showed some of Presgrove's friends writing their names on his bare buttocks with marker.
    
13. The writing was not still there when his body was discovered in the early hours of the morning but it was not known how and when it was removed.
