    I have a 2 year warranty good for 24K miles, with a $25 deductible. I think I'll be okay.

    I'm more worried about that $@#&! oil light. Keeps coming on then turning right back off in a moment or two. Done it three times so far. No guage so I can't tell what the pressure is doing. Think it's a bad sensor.

    The Hot Chick is taking it in on her next day off for diagnosis, but that won't be til next week sometime. Warranty will cover it but I don't want her stranded waiting for a tow.

    Good news is there will be no deductible because it was an existing condition.

    Just an FYI but I've got a ford that will do that when the oil needs changing. I can put fresh oil and a filter on and it will go away. I'm guessing it's got some sludge built up over the years and some is turning loose and the oil pressure is dropping some when the oil gets dirty.

    Car went to the dealer yesterday and they checked the oil pressure which was fine. Ops check on the sending unit--replaced it. Also pulled codes and found a bad knock sensor, also replaced. Right turn signal wouldn't cancel either. I was going to live with that but they ordered the part and The Hot Chick has to go back Tuesday to get that fixed too.

    So, good day for all.

    Also, today I move out of this paint shaker and into a 2018 Freightliner.

    So, great day for me.

    I got a 2018 Cascadia but it's an early one, technically a 2018 but built before the redesign so looks like regular one. They have one of the new design models there, but it will be late this year or early 2018 before the fleet gets them.

    They're NIIIIICE. But I'm married to this one for a while (under 200 miles on it). And that's cool. It rides like a Cadililac and pulls like, um, a Cadillac (that's good).

    Ima call her Scarlett. On account of she's red.

    "Rides like a Cadillac"? I must drive a different model then. I compare it to a one horse wagon or an Old spring ride cabover.

    Keep in mind he's getting out of a Mack Pinnacle. That Cascadia would feel like a Cadillac compared to that Mack.
