Are you sure son? Daddy doesn't want to go to McDonalds again. I know you're on a limited budget and they love your car there and all but let's go to a REAL food joint.

I know you like to get hammered, so, we can hit a steak house. no worries. saved all the money from my paper route this week.

Work with your dealer call them often and aslk for help with your lack of transportation read your warranty information and see what your rights are.

I have been in the service buisness for almost 39 years, not automotive but radio communications, and a customer that works with us rather than against us, even when their needs are critical will always find a better resolution than one that is confrontational and angry.

Your dealer does not want an unhappy customer and will probably will work to help you, if they do not then tell every body you can about their poor service.
Good advice, Okie boy....

Were I you, and having tipped a beer or two with Fred, I would take his advice and never say that to his face.

I like to read informative posts on this site but I find it interesting that the most informative people think they know everything and now they also think they are the most bad ass people around and want to call others out. Funny how old guys get tougher with age.

I will further bet that none on my antagonists can even guess, let alone have an accurate clue, as to how many "won't start", "ECU bad", "bad battery", more then 2 or 3 days down, replaced air mix valves, or other significant PROBLEMS are reported on this site... and of course they fail to acknowledge that ANY time down for a fault is a problem... including the new car owners out there still waiting after a few Weeks for some resolution to a legitimate PROBLEM they have.

I get my car in a couple of weeks....

When any problems occur, I will post about it.... just as BruHutch did

Yes, but do you present yourself in the same light on the forum that you do in real life?
