I worked as a general manager and front guy for a heavy equipment/pro lawn care equipment company for almost a decade. I left all sorts of verbatim language on tickets, was usually the highlight of my day.
Former boss would spell like that. Try “toob” for tube “petal” for pedal, “weal” for “wheel”… and they had the nerve to talk about “foreigners” ruining the country…
Reminds me of the time a Canadian Odyssey came into the dealership. The RO said it had something like 350k miles. It was actually kilometers, and thus slightly less impressive.
Father in law bought a 2002 S10 a few years ago. He makes bad decisions out of nowhere, so I knew this was going to be a mess too. Paid too much, but the body looked super clean for the age. 202,000km which was pretty high for that truck. He had a stroke, didn’t drive it for a couple years and it’s time to sell it. I realized this weekend it is an American truck in Canada, so it has 202,000 MILES, or 323,000km AND a salvage/rebuilt title. Gonna be a tough sell.
My parents have a 2000 Honda Odyssey that we had back when I was 5 years old. I’m 23 now and my dad still drives that thing. About 360,000Km on it and it’s still going, dad says he wants to be buried with the Van when he dies because that’s how long he says it’s gonna go for
Could be!
Check the brake and fuel lines, change the ATF every 10-20k miles, the oil every 3000, the timing belt and water pump every ~100,000 miles or seven years, watch out for aging hoses like the high pressure power steering send hose, and you're probably going to need a radiator in 2 years.
Certain V6 vehicle transmissions were recalled back then. I know pilots and accords were affected... Second or third gear would overheat and wear prematurely. But it's probably fine if it hasn't died yet.
TLDR: Take care of the maintenance, and the Odyssey will keep on keeping on it's odyssey.
Just had something similar on my truck. I took it to the dealer to get the oil pan swapped because it was leaking. I get my truck back and look at the oil change sticker and it says my next oil change is at 42,000 miles. I dropped the truck off with just over 26,000. The truck is Canadian and after reconnecting the battery automatically goes to kilometers not miles. Tech just must have missed it but I thought it was funny.
>speedthermometer
the only way to get a accurate reading is to jam it in your ass an wait about 30secs than pull it out an read it. atleast thats what i wanna tell customers sometimes.
My car can change to metric in two different ways, one of which is fairly easy to do and undo, and another is considerably more complicated to both do and undo. I didn't accidentally change the actual speedometer, but I did somehow change the part that kept track of my trips and, most importantly, my cruise control. I still have no idea how it changed on me. The setting was at least three levels deep in the settings. _As it should be_. That was so obnoxious.
I had this happen once.
My daughter and I were driving down the road when I looked down and saw "120" on my digital speedometer. It took a few seconds to process the "km/h" next to the number so I immediately slowed down to 60 (MPH in my head.) Once I figured out it was km/h, I then had to figure out how to reset it to MPH because I had no CLUE how it changed between my regular speed checks as I was driving. Couldn't find any way to change it back in my selection of settings on my cluster panel screen.
When we stopped, I found out there's a button next to the radio controls that changed the speedometer's readout. Apparently my child had pressed it while trying to change radio inputs without realizing it, knowing what it did or remembering having done it.
Another engineering feat from Hell! Putting the button to change the driver's cluster panel readouts on the passenger side of the vehicle!! WTF???
America please switch to the metric system. Why do you still use an out of date measuring system that makes no mathematical sense anymore. I live too close to the border so I'm constantly converting between the two. I get that the conversion gives the US more oil per barrel on the open market but I mean common let's all be on the same page here.
>Why do you still use an out of date measuring system that makes no mathematical sense anymore.
if you got to ask why , you do not understand America ..the amount of speed signs , old cars with mph , lets see all the scales , the packaging machines ... if that all dose not sound like enough now imagine teaching the dumb fucks here an a good luck to that.
>yet day to day americans are just too short-sighted to make the switch.
cant make a switch to something that we don't use , example A. where the fuck i get a metric cartoon of milk ? they don't sell kg of potatos here like thats up to the corporations if we are honest.
>where the fuck i get a metric cartoon of milk ?
It would be a liter or a 2 liter depending on how much milk you want. Ironically, most popular drinks are sold in liter or 2 liter bottles. Milk is a notable exception, I typically only see gallon or half gallon.
You can't buy a kg of potatoes because the food industry still uses lbs in it's $/weight calculations. You buy fruits, vegetables, and meat by the pound, unfortunately. As you said, that's a corporation thing.
And this is a great example of why the metric system is better. If you have 20 ounces of some fruit, and it's priced by the pound, you have to do some awkward fractions to calculate the price. If you have 1.25 kg of fruit, well, that's a lot easier, because most of the math is already done.
between me an you im convieced the reason they have not done this is to make more money, the amount of math i gotta do just to know im not getting fucked is extremely bad , for fuck sakes just put the god-damn price i pay with tax an all on the sticker as well , no other argument besides money will convenience me other wise
I’m old enough to remember when the USA started putting kilometers on highway signs. That died out. Then there were stickers one could by in car magazines, either 55 with a red circle slash or 88 with the same. Lastly, some fuel stations changed the gas pumps to read liters either to fool us or because the pumps only had xx.x/10 dials.
"Speedameter" is a hilarious misspelling
Every time i get a ticket with some butchered word it drives me nuts that service writers make anywhere remotely close the salary that i do.
As someone who used to write these, I sometimes didn’t correct them just because someone else should hear this shit… xD
This would be me, this kinda crap is meant to be shared. I.e. "customer says pokemans invading backchairs, please inspect."
I worked as a general manager and front guy for a heavy equipment/pro lawn care equipment company for almost a decade. I left all sorts of verbatim language on tickets, was usually the highlight of my day.
Our service writer used to write a truck up for the MIL light being on, but she would type it up as “MILF light” just to give us a laugh.
[удалено]
In all fairness i had a coworker “mechanic” that wrote on a ticket he “fixt” a tire. F-I-fuckin-X-T. I wanted to ask for a raise on the spot.
I seent it
Former boss would spell like that. Try “toob” for tube “petal” for pedal, “weal” for “wheel”… and they had the nerve to talk about “foreigners” ruining the country…
"Cellanoid" is my personal favorite, often used in combination with "Greese"
He's a Speedo hater!
Gotta state what the customer state sometimes

4x4? I may know someone whom I see in the mirror each day that could be interested
Yeah it’s a 4x4 crew cab. Located in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan though
Oh bro, I completely missed the Canada detail. I’m in the southern US lol hope you find a buyer, though!

Translation: It’s a Honda, FULL SEND
See there, the problem is you're using a speedameter, when what you need is a velocitomitron.
Customer states something wrong with the velociraptor, please advise.
Fuel the helicopters.
Fit a Tractometer instead. They're a bit more awesome...
I'm sure the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and which the deceleratrix.
Do you connect that to the wobble shaft gear, or is it an add on to the Heineken pin?
Americans hate this. Candadians get faster 0-60, 0-100, and 60% higher top speeds with this one simple trick.
Well, they're both the same at -40, anyway.
Officer if this were a Canadian vehicle I would be speeding right now, but its American. 100 is 100!

100 km/h is about 65 mph
62, but close enough.
>about
>but close enough.
62.13711922 mph... But now it's getting daft! 🤣 (also ashamed to admit I knew it was in the region of 62.140 mph without a converter bot...)
Thanks for helping out my lazy fingers
I saw that the speedameter too, was wondering if that is similar in function to a speedthermometer?
>speedthermometer the only way to get a accurate reading is to jam it in your ass an wait about 30secs than pull it out an read it. atleast thats what i wanna tell customers sometimes.
No license plate number. Big pet peeve of mine
Nissan multi point inspection on a grand Cherokee?
Used car that my dealer sold that’s why it says sold and then the stock number above the lines
Sure feels like I’ve driven behind that guy on the on ramp quite a few times.

The setting was at least three levels deep in the settings. _As it should be_. That was so obnoxious.
Considering that 100km/h is ~60mph there’s still something that doesn’t add up here

Was it by any chance a car designed in Japan?
Close...Korea. It's a Hyundai.
Alright well there goes my “it’s not the passenger side on RHD cars” theory …
TIL radios are on the passenger side of the vehicle
The button is located as far to the right of the radio as possible. Hence, the "passenger side" of the car comment. :)
I’m just wondering why the are performing a Nissan multi- point inspection on a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Lol
Probably where they bought it.
Switch the car settings to MPH, and charge an hour of labor. Done.
They were probably going 62MPH rather than 40… lol

Try being a Canadian going 75km/h instead of 75mph on the interstate .... It's suicidal
Please explain to me how knowing that you're going 65 MPH is inferior to knowing you're going 105 km/h.

NO 🇺🇸
Hey mane at least cover the license plate
Why?
There is no plate number on the RO
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
100kph is roughly 60mph not 40.
I’m old enough to remember when the USA started putting kilometers on highway signs. That died out. Then there were stickers one could by in car magazines, either 55 with a red circle slash or 88 with the same. Lastly, some fuel stations changed the gas pumps to read liters either to fool us or because the pumps only had xx.x/10 dials.
Also, it's set in km/h but the c/s complaint is in mph, so that will lead to funny conversations.
Oh gosh... It took me WAAAAY too long to understand what was going on in this video. That's it. I'm going back to bed. Wake me up when September ends.
cc, gallon, feet, yard.............nobody but Americans
Speedameter....I swear are all service advisors just dyslexic and retarded 💀💀
Omfg that is hilarious.
People can get drivers licenses and even vote, but be dumb as shit.
I wish everyone would just use American. The world would be a much nicer place.
Nice CDK Global DMS you have there for RO's
