			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, i got up at a time when, regularly, i should still be sleeping to take my car to the dealership to get some work done on it.  It was supposed to be a mix of regular maintenance and some other fixin&#8217;s. Well, I get up there around 9am (after an hour drive), talk to the guy, he says it will be a few hours to do the analysis and that he&#8217;d give me a call when he knows anything. Sean and I then go to Ryan&#8217;s place to visit and kill time. We talk about video games, music, how other people are stupid, and then decide our stomachs are rumbling and head to Denny&#8217;s for some well deserved breakfast. </p>
<p>After sitting there, drinking lots of coffee, and discussing what our <a href="http://www.blackmesacorp.com">corporation</a> should do in <a href="http://www.eve-online.com">Eve</a>, we decided to go to <i>the Mall</i>. I hadn&#8217;t been to the mall in ages, so it was confirmation to me that the place really wasn&#8217;t that great. After going into the stores we thought might have cool stuff, we went over to Kristina&#8217;s place to hang out. We play some Mario Cart for the Wii and then decide to get some lunch. MMMM, Arby&#8217;s. As we pull into the parking lot my phone rings. It&#8217;s Mike from the BMW dealer. The news is grave. He tells me the things that are broken, and then gives me the total. Then after a small pause he informs me that none of that is covered under my extended warranty. 0_o WHA!?!  I had gotten the warranty when i bought the car from a Chrysler dealer. I guess they cover things in Chrysler cars, and if your car happens to have extra things that Chrysler&#8217;s don&#8217;t, they&#8217;re not going to cover them.. BAH! So  i decide to only get fixed what i absolutely need, which ran me about 450 dollars.</p>
<p>So my moral of the story is, warranties are like insurance, and insurance never covers anything when you need it to. BAH! i say, BAH!</p>
