We're not in any court, end of story.

Look at the person in the mirror, you could’ve avoided this but you felt you were being shrewd so you cut off your nose to spite your face.
lol. Just lol.

In regards to your last comment, this thread is not just about a wheel...it’s about a dealership’s reputation and all the people who take pride in working for that dealer. What price do you put on this?

No one but you is disputing that the dealer cracked the wheel- not even the dealer.

Default "It's a major award!"

Ladies and gentlemen, we pause for this commercial (or comical) announcement. An award for those who, regardless of which side of the argument you're on, you feel truly deserve it....
And now we return to our regularly scheduled CF posts

Just goes to show you how strong confirmation bias is. There is absolutely nothing that will change his mind that this is some elaborate conspiracy.

A lawyer who can't intimidate/manipulate the dealer owner can't be very good. I barely got out of HS but am worth $300 hr.

Best way to deal with a dealer is by using reason, guilt and shame. Works for me, always get what I want.

By the way, I've been an entrepreneur all my life, real estate, boats and cars. Lawyers were known to be difficult to deal with. Whenever I needed one I had to direct him on how to win.

You're hopeless. The dealer paid for the wheel. They replaced t.

GM offered a leather jacket to make up for the dealer being incompetent. Dealer had nothing to do with that. That was a "sorry that sucked so much" gift.

Is it possible counselor they threw you a bone to stop hearing a belly-aching customer.

No and no. Just somebody who believes everyone deserves a right to be heard, including dealers. How ‘bout you? Do you work in a jail?

You have some more reading to do. You’re not even talking about the additional 3 page, 57 post thread “How would you handle this dealership situation” that also pertains to this same wheel. Can’t wait ‘til the C8s come rolling off the line. Thanks Village Idiot.

Would love to see a photograph of you and Mark Eddins, Friendly Chev. owner, shaking hands in front of your new GS.
