dealership is going to have my cars for 17 days

so i took my car to the dealership because i was feeling hard shifts and engine jolting along w/ a loud clunk noise

so they have my car there for three days before they even look @ it and then they call me and ask me to come in to drive it for them and reporduce the problem. When i get there they have me show it to the shop QC guy and he says oh its a broken motor mount (problem i've had before) ... then i call today two days later and the tech tells me oh "they (the repairman) lookin and lookin and and they say we gonna order a transmission" (in broken english) and then he proceeds to tell me call him back in TEN days and the car might be ready...


meanwhile i'm in an 05 TL loaner (which i took to vegas ) i think the ball is getting dropped here...

Go and visit all your old friends and rack up the miles. On one loaner I had for four days I racked up over 1k miles. Well I live 2.5 hrs from the dealer, one way is 180 miles.
