naw, let's snap out of it. i ain't gonna leave anyway until i get kicked out! and if i do get kicked out, "I WILL BE BAHCK" with a new id that says, "James Ding" or "Sean Corny". maybe i'll just go with Elvis Parsley.
Let me sum it up like this Antonio....
Everyone lights up a room... some when they enter like Dave (MyVetteDream) and some when they leave like you my good friend Antonio BananaS

Wow. You guys are awesome (again). E-T and Nanas Shake hands I hated when my family used to fight. BTW, I'm not stuck on the NSX. I checked out a Lotus today, and I know the other options. Vette's going BACK to the shop tomorrow or Monday. At this rate (time in the shop)... a Ferrari might be in order ... that's another "drive it 3 days and spends a week in the shop" right? LOL. The Saga continues .....

IMHO, anyone who thinks that "boots" are determined by their inability to tolerate asinine behavior from the people for whom they generate a livelihood, then I guess I am. It takes only three muscles to smile, but it on takes eight to reach up and b*tch slap whoever's pi$$ing you off. The only way off slapping big corps. is to walk away from them smiling ... with you money in your account and your dignity intact. 'Nuff said? 2nd - if you haven't had the pleasure of dealing with these Trolls yet ... well let me just say, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Just MHO. Not trying to flame you sir, nor am I downing the Vette. It's the SERVICE PEOPLE AND PROCEDURES THAT NEED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. Any questions?

yes. Quit your crying and walk to a shop that serves you right. Why take up everyone's time with your "saga" . Woe is me, Woe is me is tolerated only for so long before you just have to say "enough already!"

I said any questions ... NOT I wanna hear how left out you feel because Life is Perfect in your area. Northern Californians Looks like I hit a nerve.

This is a public forum, if you don't like it ... don't look. Maybe that's too simple. No one's cried ... until now. I think your "it's all about me" attitude is showing. If you read it right, I'm trying to prevent this from happening, or at least help anyone else it might happen to. Like when you were in school trying to bs your way through English and your teacher knew - "Go back and read it again!".

And of all things, this comes from a person who wrote, "You can work the system or let the system work you, your choice." in another thread. Move along. Have a great day! Bu-bye! I called 9-1-1 and sent a Wah-mbulance up there for ya!

Hey, when ya buy anything with titanium con-rods, you can come back here... even if you're at least a couple cylinders short of an engine, as far as I'm concerned.

Better luck with your potential Honda based dealer than I had.

"...but when I do pay $80-90 for an oil change"

Damn, I couldn't even fathom paying someone that much to change oil.
Granted it's Mobile1, but your paying $50-60 labor for 10 minutes of work.

Well said, blacksedan87! I can add that I've had the same crummy people in a Toyota and an Oldsmobile dealership. All boils down to the dollar: if they paid their techs properly, they'd attract and keep them and you wouldn't be having these problems.
