My 2003 Chevy Avalanche Z66...

read the other comments — i explained in detailed the parts and why i couldnt use second-hand/junkyard parts

in my case, the parts were related to the braking system

they couldnt use 2nd hand parts from a junkyard -- the reason why my vehicle got totaled in the first place was due to shoddy work by a honda technician, which caused a small fire in the engine bay -- using a 2nd hand part would open honda to even more liability. 

nah — the reason why it even was in the shop was because the honda dealership fucked my brake pipes when they replaced my front struts (since it was covered under warranty) and the engine bay caught fire due to the brake fluid leaking onto the manifold, and while the fire was put out quickly, it still damaged the…

one of the brake pipe lines and the brake pipe clip.

My insurance totaled my Ridgeline after Honda could not find $30 dollars worth of parts in its inventory for 6 months and had no timetable for when those parts would be back in stock — and there were no aftermarket versions of said parts.

I still don’t get it why Hyundai has not announced a hybrid version of the Santa Cruz, since the Tucson Hybrid has been pretty solid and both vehicles share a lot of components. 

At one point, I thought of buying the Sportage Hybrid LX, but I ended up buying the Tucson Hybrid Blue for $31,400 — and despite being the lowest trim of the Tucson Hybrid, it’s better equipped than the Sportage Hybrid EX

So, to be honest, not sure why someone would consider buying the Sportage Hybrid LX, just go for…

so it’s just sparkling automobili

The Toyota stores don’t seem to care about customer experience or loyalty at all.

I still can’t grasp why there’s no hybrid for the Santa Cruz. I’d trade in my Tucson hybrid, which I love, in a heartbeat for a Santa Cruz hybrid. 

Solomon, I HAVE RETURNED!

I don’t think so — the value of the parts were 40 dollars if they were in stock — but I escalated all the way to Honda corporate, and then the insurance did the same, and Honda’s answer was that they did not know when they would have that part in stock and they would not provide us with the…

My insurance declared my 2017 Ridgeline a total loss over the brake pipes being out of stock at Honda and Honda admitting they had no idea when they would get them back in stock since it’s an OEM only part — and by this point, my truck had been sitting in the shop for 6 months just waiting for those parts.

The Moogle house in gongaga broke me because of the time limit. I saw the moogle house in cosmo canyon and I won’t even touch it.

Cosmo Canyon is a breeze to navigate thru, even with its flying chocobo gimmick of using vents and ramps, compared to Gongaga. I did all the field intel superquick in Cosmo Canyon because everything was so easy to reach once you got the hang of it -- ‘cept for the Protorelic one because I guess I’ve not started the…

The Moogle House broke me. 

I completely agree with this, and I’ve been loving Rebirth so far.

All this stuff feels so forced compared to Infinite Wealth and all its side stuff, including Dondoko Island, because, in the end, you can do just one cycle of Dondoko and peace out. 

The one job I missed in the Infinite Wealth was Enforcer -- Adachi was a beast as Enforcer. I guess he still is if you go Samurai, but I loved the shield stuff. 

The ending for the Ichiban storyside was a bit bland, at least compared to the first Ichiban game....

The first Ichiban game was so full of emotion — the scene near the end where he’s like “Don’t make me watch my brother die” just hits so hard...

But I did love the Kiryu part.
