Summer at Maher hooked me up today with this. Hopefully, I will be able to bring it back tomorrow. I said it before and I will say it again when the chips are down, it’s just awesome to have a company like Maher to bring your broken crap to, I am like umm, it still works good but, it’s broken will you fix it, please. I am like umm, I don’t know how you all are gonna fix this, but every single time I can’t ever tell anything was broken on it. I do not know how they do it, and I don’t care, the best part is, that is fine with them!
Today I completed a single ride, I made like 28 bux or something. That was a ride to Bradenton, over the Skyway Bridge
the rider was in the car going through that $1.07 toll I was like yulp, I’ll take that one. After I dropped her off it started
to rain, I put the windshield wipers on, and they broke. I pulled over into a parking lot to figure out why that happened.
It was pouring rain. I don’t like being stranded, but the wiper connection clip broke so I could not even rig it up. Everything else
was perfect as usual though. I made today an “Oil Change Friday”, and they usually tell me my driver’s side High-Beam is out
but not this time. I was like huh? I looked at it and flicked on the High-Beam and it was fixed by Maher! I have been using Maher
for a very long time. I first learned about them when I was with Geico. Geico pointed them out to me because they have an enterprise
office in there. Maher collision was also an express body shop. So I would have my car towed there or drive it there, and pick it
up and pay them the deductible, and drive my car home, I was never without a car. The work they do is always perfect too. When a car
accident happens, I am usually sore, and things are bad already, Maher Collision is a no brainer for me. I like working with them because
I am never without a car, and when I pickup
my vehicle from them, my car always works and drives like the accident never happened. I looked it up on YouTube and found out that there
is some linkage in there and if there is something wrong with it or it is taken apart in any way, the only way to fix it is to buy a new one.
it may look right, but if it was reassembled by a human it will not work. I do not know why it happened, but the fact is that it did happen and
I do not like anything not working on my car. I sent an email to Summer @ Maher and she will take care of it. I remember when Geico suggested Maher
to me I was like umm that is a Chevrolet dealership and I had a Nissan Maxima at the time and Geico was like they repair all makes and models and
we partner with them, and they have an Enterprise office right in there. They didn’t have to tell me twice, I was like sold! Now I am with Progressive
and they have an office like blocks away so they are like that is no problem, pick the rental up from there and drop it off there too.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023.
I woke up this morning to a text from my Progressive adjuster that said my car would not be ready
until Sunday because a windshield seal needs to be acquired. I sent an email to Summer @ Maher Collision
and she told me that was not correct my car would be ready for pickup today Thursday, May 11th, 2023 at 1:30PM.
So I went and picked Ruby up and like always, she looks really good. They do awesome work at Maher! So tomorrow I will get the oil changed
and head to Pinellas to earn…. Finally!
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023.
Tomorrow is the day I drop off the courtesy vehicle and pick up Ruby. I sent an email to
Maher Collision Center and set a pickup time for the afternoon. So I will be driving
through this weekend yay! I never thought I would be so gassed to pickup Uber riders lol.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. Today, I edited some video that will go up on YouTube
tomorrow or the next day. I still haven’t been able to ride the Peloton for a while now. I think I last was able to ride like a week ago or something. I have a used screen coming on 05/11/2023 I can’t wait. On top of being unable to drive for Uber, I can’t exercise for 2 more days! Tomorrow I will shoot an email to summer at the collision center and ask her what time is good to drop off the courtesy vehicle and pickup Ruby. Summer did the right thing by getting me that courtesy car, so I leave her alone. Tomorrow I will probably just shoot her a 1 liner.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. It has been a while since I drove for Uber. I went
grocery shopping today, when we moved in here
groceries for me and my mother for 1 week would
cost 75-85 bux. Today groceries for us was like $116.00. What a difference and that is just for two people. More people in a family cost more money.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. Today is Sunday, usually the last day of the week driving for Uber. I have a courtesy vehicle
from Maher that I try to drive as little as possible because it too is a gas guzzler.
It’s good to have something to drive when you need it, I am very grateful don’t misunderstand. But it gets like 24.4 MPG that is horrible. There are a lot of people that think that is actually good! Today I saw gas here in FL was $3.49 a gallon. That is actually very high for FL. I remember when I saw gas jump 1 day like .39 cents, I was like dang! That is a pretty big increase, then the next day it jumped up by even more than that. Uber
Started to charge a “temporary” fuel fee of .55 cents per trip, which is basically like nothing. I used that in conjunction with Get “upside” which is a good way to get some of that money back, so if you take those .55 cent scrap and then you add upside to that you may be able to save like .20 per gallon.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since and because of the accident
that happened on 03252023. Today was the last day for me to have a rental car from Progressive.
I took it back and picked up a 2020 Chevy Malibu. I like it better than the Mustang. It too is a gas guzzler
too. It said on the interstate, I was getting 24.4 MPG. I am very lucky to have it either way.
Oh yea, I forgot to say on here, that the Mustang only does car play over a hard wire, this Malibu
is pretty much the same way. The Malibu is completely hard top so it is much quieter though.
directly under where the radio is there is a female USB A port. With the Mustang I could see it
and with the Malibu, I actually have to look under there, With the Malibu you definitely have to be completely
stopped to use them. There is also an interface in the Mailibu for an aux device which on the Mustang there is not.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since
The accident on 03/2/2023. Tomorrow is the last day from the Rental car for me the plan is to drop off the Rental @Maher collision center
and pick up the courtesy loaner I will have until 05/11/2023. I found and purchased a new screen for my Bile plus it was $117.00 shipped that new ones on there for like $210.00 shipped. I don’t have new kind of money. So that will arrive sometime Monday and I will install (I have all ready watch a video on it) it’s two 4 MM screws, shouldn’t be too bad.
I am still not able to drive for Uber since the car accident on 03/25/2023. I got on the Peloton to ride it the other day and the screen (they call it the tablet) just kept prompting for an update so I would do it. It has done that before so I didn’t think anything of it, just ride for 20 minutes anyway and then get off. This time though it was not prompting me to log in it just kept looping after it would download and then install that update and reboot over and over again. So I chatted in to support and we did about 15 minutes of troubleshooting and then he told me, since I am out of warranty, it is going to run me $650.00 plus tax because I need a new screen. I was like no let’s try something else lol. So my Peloton is down and it is driving me crazy, I love to hate that thing. I got an email from Maher today that the wrong part was sent for my car, so Ruby won’t be ready until 05/11/2023, but the last I am working with at Maher said she reserved a courtesy vehicle for me to drive after this Friday. So that was cool of her, and Maher collision to do that. So on top of the precision work that they do there, there also good people and they help when they can. Usually they are really fast. I understand that sooner or later something happens that is out of our control. I am just fortunate that a car was reserved for me!
