Also unless you're a pro or a pretty capable hobbyist with a good set of tools and arguably a lift, a truck from 1998 is not a good financial decision. I mean at current prices, unless you're using it for business, any truck is not a good financial decision

Idk about that. When I got the Ridgeline it was like $7k more than a similarly equipped CRV, which is what I planned to buy, and had 1.99 financing. Ultimate it was like a couple thousand more, and the bed is more convenient if you have car seats. If you're buying a $60k F-150 or something, sure.

my boyfriend's 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen has been in a shop his insurance sent it to since November 2022. A deer jumped into the driver's door and set off the airbags, including the seat airbag. Every time he calls they keep saying they are waiting on a seat part and they have no ETA on when it will arrive. We are basically 10 months deep into this. Are they full of shit? Can it really take almost a year to get a damn seat part? Anything he can do to speed this along?

Well, I don't do bodywork, but I would ask them if they could just find a used seat somewhere, or if you could find a used seat somewhere and give it to them.
A quick google seems to indicate they are available from places like LKQ

Takes a while.

just wanna say fuck you chrysler for creating the sebring and putting the fucking battery in the wheel well. Changed out my girls battery that took almost an hour and a half. It's like they made the car and forgot that the battery had to go somewhere. fuck you again chrysler.

Picturing you bringing it in for inspection and they go, "You having a laugh, mate? Go on, put your steering wheel right way round, that's a good lad."
