    Bluetooth that only connects 70% of the time. Usually just turning bluetooth on and then turning the speaker on works, but sometimes it doesn't. There's no reason it shouldn't work. One device is set to send signals, the other is set to catch signals. But no, you have to solve a puzzle. Sometimes you just have to turn one of them off and then on again. Sometimes you have to turn both off and on again. Sometimes neither works, and you have to connect to something else and then come back again.

    I wish whatever fuckin nerd came up with bluetooth would have followed through and made it work the way it's supposed to.

    My wife's van and my current phone have an ongoing Bluetooth feud. It'll receive podcasts or other audio flawlessly and with a rock solid connection. But in phone mode, it drops and re-aquires the call audio every 45 seconds or so. Makes the hands free calling basically unusable. But also, if you've been listening to other audio, of course when a call comes in, it goes to the van head unit.

    Fucking hell.

    My Mercedes only finds my phone 1/2 the time. Correction, it'll sync up, but refuses to play Spotify unless I manually close Spotify and reopen it after they've connected.

    I guess I should have bought a Cadillac.

    No, I want a new truck, not a separate bluetooth device. I always find those brutal to use.

    I can’t say I have ever had a vehicle where the built in Bluetooth wasn’t flawless.

    But then again, I use an iPhone.

    Conference calls where there is no agenda, and expectations are unclear, that take more than 2 hours. FML.

    I just use android auto. Except for my aftermarket deck in the S. That seems to work fine with bluetooth.

    Man, when I was in the corporate world I never once experienced that. Conference calls always had agendas and were always on point.

    Yeah but the last time you were in the corporate world, everyone had liquor cabinets and ashtrays in their offices.

    When I left, no, but I did experience such things. Trash can fires in the office were a regular occurrence.

    It's quite bizarre to look back and to know that ash trays were on a lot of people's desks, smoking in the office was a thing including marijuana in the back offices and a bottle or two or six wasn't uncommon as well. Times have certainly changed.

    Free preview of velocity on shaw right now... only watched 5min of unfortunately 2 episodes... but can 100% say “All Girls Garage” is a pet peeve of mine now.

    So fucking bad and sets the actual female “car girls” back an easy 2 decades and hurts my head, and holy fuck it’s on again.

    Noticed a white scratch on the driver side of the car and finally decided to wipe it off to reveal a nice dent lol GREAT! The wind must have pushed a shopping cart into it.

    I wish the wind was so strong that it blew the person away before him backing into my car, with a backup camera no less. f@#kin bottles my mind, it's like that Seinfeld joke about old people backing up.
