My Toyota experience

Uzer is coming to the twin cities in December.  Sometime in late December.  It will be damn cold then but his presence will warm things up I am sure.  looking forward to his visit.

In other miscellaneous things that i did today i got my car serviced.  This is another thing off my head.  I can relax for another 3000 miles.  But can you imagine I called my Toyota dealer to set up an appointment with him for an oil change and he told me that he doesn't have synthetic oil in his inventory and if i wanted synthetic oil then i had to provide it myself.  I mean this is just ridiculous.  Maplewood Toyota boasts to be the number one dealer in the state.  But i have been less than satisfied with their dealings with me.

When i bought the car the dealer didn't mention anything about the resurfacing that this car needed for working in harsh climates like that of my city.  When the whole deal was done and dusted then they charged me an extra sum for all that resurfacing.

They never provided me with any satisfactory after sale service.  They never offered me the car in my choice of colors.  During the whole process the only emphasis was on money and how my dealer is not going to bargain on anything at all.

So all in all i didn't have a great experience with Maplewood Toyota.  On the contrary one of my colleagues has bought his car from another Toyota dealer in the area and he is very satisfied with his dealer who has been fair in his dealings with him.

I would therefore not recommend Maplewood Toyota to any new customers.  I bought my car from them because the Honda dealer in Maplewood is even worse in his attitude towards new customers.  He is rude and disrespectful.  Anyway I was in urgent need of a car then and i had no means to travel around and shop at different dealerships.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
