Ethan I asked you earlier but I don't think you responded. Do you want me to bring anything tool wise? I can bring jack stands and an extra jack if you'd like. Or anything else...

I have no idea what we will have to do to make that diffuser work with those Euro grills

The market on them fluctuates too much. Some cars are $40,000 w/ 80,000 miles & some are $30,000 w/ 95,000+. Only the facelifted ones seem to be "set in stone".

I'm convinced now that my original perceptions of McDavid screwing me over are changing.

During my service yesterday, I was told I needed a brake flush badly by the sales rep. The mechanic also said they could moly coat my rear pads to get rid of the squealing, but it'd be $165.

Well, I got a PM today from a RKC member I know who works at McDavid who ended up working on my car. Alarming at first, but he wanted to be very sure I was happy with the job. He told me that the fluid was indeed awful to the point where there were chunks in it & asked if the brakes felt any better, which they did under hard braking.

He even did a little work to minimize the squealing in the rears after the test drive & told me that instead of spending $165 for the dealer, I could just moly coat it myself for next to nothing.

I also ended up doing business with another rep. (Jordan) instead of usually dealing with Carl. I don't know why, but he didn't even bother acknowledge me, so it worked out for the best because Jordan was the only rep. I know of who actually updated me constantly during my wait & even went over everything with me whilst she walked me out to the car; hell, she even opened the damn door. Never seen anyone do that.

I know some of our group has not had the same satisfaction with the dealer, but for once, I think they deserved a little credit.

The last time I went, I asked & he wasn't in for the day.

Didn't even think of it yesterday; Jordan came right out to me.

That fuckin' truck was crazy on Tollway.

Also had 4 douchebags in an Accord playing keep up til' they decided to pull next to the car in front of me to box me in. Downshifted in the 3rd & just left them behind before they pulled a ricer flyby a mile afterwards nearly running into another car. Morons.

Good night, though. I want to hear the Lotus before I leave.
