Boy o boy. 2 hours into my midnights to day double and I've up chucked 3 times. I see fun in my future.

On a serious note, any one have good luck with any particular adjustable gas blocks for the AR10 platform. I got a dpms I inherited that's a bit of a mess. It's a gen 1 but had a gen 2 rail, barrel has spots where the chrome is worn away etc. basically I'm stripping it to build a M110 clone. Just bought a criterion 20" match barrel but looking for an adjustable gas block to be able to tune it and dial back gas in case I get a mythical suppressor. Any recommendations?

Bought an Audi convertible for my wife from Fletcher Jones Audi in Chicago. Paid cash, no loan, so they processed the title and FedEx'd it to me, but that took them 2+ weeks to get it to me.

Indiana won't accept the title because F-J Audi didn't sign it, they just stamped it with their name, but no actual signature (apparently that is acceptable in Illinois). Apparently they also filled out some papers incorrectly too. So a total cluster ####.

BMV in Schererville said that F-J Audi could FAX over the documents they needed ... and then the lady at the BMV gave the the WRONG number for the FAX machine so nothing got FAXed to the BMV.

Threatened to return the car to F-J Audi this morning.

They are now FedEx-ing me all the papers, plus sending a FedEx return envelope so I can send them back the title so they can sign it ... and then FedEx it back to me.

In the mean time I've been to the BMV on 3 separate times to try to resolve this. The 'paper plate' is going to expire on Monday so the car won't be able to be driven at all. I told F-J Audi that if my wife can't drive the car then we don't need it and they should bring me a cashier's check when they pick up the car ... so now they are trying to figure out how to get me a "dealer plate" to use until the mess gets resolved.

Moral of the story, don't buy a car from a dealership in Chicago!!!

Moral of the story dont buy a car outside your home state.
There are other stories here on ingo about messes like this when buying from out of state.

Too bad they don't have access to a vehicle, they could drive down and get the documents from you, and then return with the corrected ones.

 

[Ericpwp]

Or just have Fletcher drive down and sign the title.

Oh crap. Heading home currently...

 

[RyanGSams]

That's my problem.
They say you often can't meet parameters, even driving them.
So they drive the profile till it passes each section.
But.. you pay for them to do it.
What a scam.

What emission monitors isn't passing?

Drive Cycle and Emissions Readiness Monitors

 

[actaeon277]

A Drive Cycle replicates the conditions of a person going out and driving his vehicle after it has been sitting overnight. First, he cold starts his engine and it warms up a bit while he is buckling his seat belt, selecting the radio station or CD he wants and adjusting the volume, and letting the windows defrost a little. The car is then driven through stop and go scenarios through city streets at speeds of 25 to 35 mph. Then, the car enters the freeway and accelerates briskly at half throttle or more to match the speed of the other drivers as the they enter the flow of the freeway traffic. Then the vehicle is driven at a steady, conservative speed of between 55 and 60 mph for at least four to five miles.After this, the vehicle pulls off the freeway and is driven a bit more in city driving conditions before pulling into a parking place where the engine idles for 20 to 30 seconds before being turned off. On many vehicles, one of these Drive Cycles is sufficient enough to set all or most of the Readiness Monitors. Other vehicles require that this entire process be repeated on two or more successive days.
