Ugh, not really. I went to pick my baby up last night. It turns out that that out of the 4 things that I wanted them to do, they only did one right.

1) Customer wants oil change.
-Completed, and ok if I am lucky.
2) Customer states that driver's mirror shakes upon initial start-up.
-Completed, and still shaking.
3) Customer states that trim around radio is coming loose.
-Completed, and still loose.
4) Customer states that a clunk occurs when at parking lot speeds and steering wheel at full lock.
-Completed, and still cunkling.

So, since they did such a good job, they decided to put 20 miles on my baby. Then, when they returned it, they forgot about the key-box on the window and rolled the window down. Well, guess what happens when you do that?? You scratch the fucking door.

So, here is an F-YOU to Capitol Chevy.

here's a quick tid bit for today:

I go to take my drug test for my new job....(Thanks Ethan!) and some lady, after getting her blood drawn was walking out of the clinic doors and she fainted haha. Man, it was a BIG scare in the office. They caught her before she hit the floor though.

May 2nd, I'll be on my way to Tampa to do training. Will take pics and report back to my brethren.

Ok, so remember that I have the memory of a hyena, but, what job is it that you are getting trained to do?

Haha, right on. Looking out for the playas out there...nothing like a damsel in distress.

I'll pass on the Corvette show...I have work on Monday at my old job since that will be my final week there BUT... since you mentioned corvette, check out these pics I took at the Auto Show last Sunday. The original pics are 2272x1704 @ 2MB a piece roughly...so I decided to size them down. comments welcomed

I think the spokeslady said end of summer (?) I was concentrating too hard to take the pics of that corvette. Carbon Fiber struck my interest.

got the car back today.

There was a letter in the passenger seat talking about how the car was reprogrammed to last longer.

reprogrammed PCM (powertrain control management), new fuel pumps, new regulators.

I'll show you the letter on Thursday RuF. I wonder if you got the same letter when you had yours replaced.

Basically they nuked the tranny, the car sucks ass.
