You may want to check out [Tennessee lemon laws](https://www.findlaw.com/state/tennessee-law/tennessee-lemon-laws.html#:~:text=Under%20Tennessee%20lemon%20law%2C%20a%20new%20car%20must,under%20Tennessee%20law%29%20would%20be%20considered%20a%20lemon.) to see about recourse. It has just under 90,000 miles, so not a lot in the grand scheme of things. We got it used in 2017 from Carvana. The tranny started acting up back in November and, honestly, the Aamco has been pretty good to us for the most part. They had no problem with replacing the first defective one they put in and while they were replacing it, found the second one they got was also defective. The only real problem (other than they may have messed up something with the computer or electrical) is that it’s taken them forever to get the parts. > [@missred](#): > > As far as dopefests go, I went to a couple of them back in the day, but the MMP is the only place I’m active these days, so I’m not sure how many of our locals are still active. **Zeldar** and the late **Zoe** , **brynda, cub mistress, tuckerfan, bosda, cosmos dan, st germain** and a few others were there and **maus magill** has since relocated to the area. I would be up for a Saturday afternoon gathering sometime if someone else does the work of putting it together. I’ve only been to one DopeFest here in Nashville and it may have been back around the time that you started on the board. It was at Blackstones and I know I met **brynda** there along with a lot of others, including **Tripler** who was in the area at the time. I know that **tuckerfan** is still in the area, though I’m not sure if he’s still on the board. I’m friends with him on Facebook so I can always let him know about it. As for putting one together, I have no problem with doing that! When I lived in Philly in the early 2000’s, I put together a biweekly get together for the Philly Dopers, as well as a few of the bigger gatherings that we had. So leave it to me! I’ll get started on it soonish. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **Real Fish** , I’ve had the same problem with one of my fobs on unlocking doors, may need to see if the battery is low or not, my car is telling me it is low (using my second one for the moment. I’m hoping that’s the case. We only got one when we bought the car, but I have a friend in the key business so I’m going to check with her to see if she can give me some advice/get a second key made. I can pick up two fobs that just need to be programmed/cut from Amazon for $20 so I’m hoping that will help me a bit with the cost. My dad just called me a little bit ago and I’m finding even more reasons to be pissed with this hospital. They were supposed to find a SNF for him over here by me so I can keep up with visiting him and the like. Instead, they have him scheduled to go today to one a few miles from the hospital he’s currently in. An hour a way from me. And I don’t know if it’s because they couldn’t get him into one near me (including our first choice) or if they decided not to try. Because they aren’t calling me to let me know anything. They told Dad that they’d be calling me to let me know what was going on. No calls yet. Whenever they come in to Dad next, he’s going to call me and I’ll talk to them at that moment. I’ve told Dad that if he ends up having to go back into a hospital, he’s not going back there. The care has been great but the communication **_sucks_**. I’m just so over this all. And so is he. CtE called me this morning to give me a bit of news from their school - of the 6 teachers he usually has in a day, only 2 of them are there or have subs. They are looking at spending most of the rest of the day in the auditorium because there are no teachers to teach them anything today. I’m not sure if we just have this many sick teachers or if it’s in relation to the protest yesterday or something else entirely, but I’m not going to force them to sit in the auditorium doing absolutely nothing all day. The one teacher that is there is right before lunch so their plan is to stay through that class and lunch, then call for me to give permission to come home. Which I’m going to give because they can get a lot more done here than they can in an overcrowded auditorium. Now I need to go make mounds brownies for MFN and write up a grocery list with Hubby for me to know what to get tomorrow when I go shopping. Still not pushing myself or kicking myself for the things that I can’t get done. Continue to have a great day all! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-have-as-good-a-new-monday-mmp-as-possible/981700)._
