I went to get the oil change & they couldn't get the drain plug out. Subaru dealer replaced the entire drain pan on their dime because their people tightened it too tightly the last time.

I was stunned. A seasoned journalist posted it on X. Give them 50% like the NBA. Or if they still intend to low-ball salaries, let them have 75%. The W is nothing without the players. Listening to Natasha Cloud on an X video, I think the players are unified.
