I have a friend that had an issue with the driver's side door panel in her new 733i BMW. She took it in to get it fixed and they kept breaking bigger and bigger things until she ended up getting a new car from them! Fingers crossed you don't have that experience.

Ordered a new graphics card for the first time since my 512mb 9800GT which is no longer cutting it.
First time I kinda buy something for myself with company money. I did go for an older model though to just get basic functionality again without spending a fortune. Next I need to replace the whole rest of the PC, but at least I got this half done.

I can't fucking wait to play not in ultra-low settings mode

Nice, can you right it off as a business expense?

Actually there's a recalibration that needs done, look in the handbook. I just had to redo mine after hitting a particularly deep pothole. Anytime you rotate your rims, change tire etc.... you have to recalibrate the TPMS module.

Of course take the place that screwed you the bill for this, sigh..... and make sure the dealer reset the TPMS module and shows you how (even if it was something else).

Yeah, I received my completed accounting ledgers for the first book year from my tax accountant today.
Guy is worth every cent.
But I deserve it, I do some of my best thinking while gaming, I'll shut a game down mid-round and hit the 3d CAD software or spreadsheets to check the viability of an idea. I used to spend silly money on my PC's as a young man, That 9800GT was second to only the 9800gtx at the time, and it lasted ages... It still works great in lots of games, but it sucks in more complex settings now, I can hardly play some of the urban maps in War Thunder.

Yup, it's jinxed now...Might as well go look at some new cars while you're there. Trade this hexed beast in while you can!!

Just kidding. But you would think the freakin' Honda dealership would get it right. Maybe they'll give you a few free car wash coupons.:roll: I drive a Honda too, and avoid that place like Covid-19! When they charged me $14 for license plate screws they lost me. But yeah for a new rim that someone else is paying for I would have gone in too. See this is all fate. Had you not gotten a screw in your tire, you would have been someplace else and something bad might have happened. Instead fate, or maybe an angel, is just inconveniencing you...or testing your patients :-)

Dude, how many boxes do you have? In my day I had 4, one for gaming, one for graphics development, one for video compiling, and one for storage.
