  1. Can any1 help me with my problem. My 2018 Honda SI TPMS Light on dash has gone on 71 times in 4 years.
    Nothing wrong withe tires.
    Been driving Honda Civic's 47 yrs! Never had a SI before.
    I'm about to jump ship & buy a Toyota.😒
    Any suggestions Scotty or any1 reading this?
    Massachusetts gal.😒

  2. Interesting topic. Thanks Scotty and George. BTW, Scotty, please introduce your guests.

    The garage door opener emergency pull cord handle bothered me. It was in George’s face much of the time.

  3. Let’s cut the crap. He rented 1 car to a guy who put a chain on an ATM and hauled it off. Another to a guy who got blown away in it. This man EARNS every penny he makes dealing with LOADS of crap from THAT kind of customer. He makes a living off BAD decisions made by the type of people who RENT things they CAN’T own: furniture, cars, junk homes, apartments in BAD areas. They have low impulse control, make lots of irresponsible decisions, max out credit cards, have bad credit, and frequent check cashing and payday loan places. Gee, I wonder what kinda customers they’d be. Amish? Brain surgeons? Bank executives? Astronauts? No. Another type comes to mind that’s usually the type I wanna do AS LITTLE business and interacting with as possible, for my own safety. Hmm. I wonder who they might be. πŸ€” The Dilbert cartoonist’s advice comes to mind. That advice he gave that got him canceled. Bless this man. I DON’T wanna make a living doing HIS job. Nope. πŸ‘Ž
