Don't you just love that title. This would be comical in a show, but in real life I'm frustrated and Gary is just plan mad.

Last time we drove to Alabama in the car, on the way home, late at night, coming down I-10 we hit some sort of cat like creature. Gary has speculated everything from bobcat to Florida panther. In any event, it took off the front grill, and shortly there after we started having problems with the car overheating. It wasn't long before Gary couldn't even drive it the mile to work or back home. We figured that the radiator was busted. As a result the last two or maybe even three months, we've made do with just my car.

Well, we finally had convinced the dealership that a radiator was covered under our extended warrenty, so they told us to bring it over and they would check it out. Well, the verdict wasn't radiator at all it was a themostate thing. Apparently it's not working at all, and needs to be replaced so that it can tell the radiator to circulate water when the engine starts getting hot.

The verdict ended up being that this isn't included in our warrenty, and Gary got very, very angry. He paid $2-3,000 for the extended warrenty, and they won't fix a part that is connected to the engine. The price to fix it $450. So we called around and might have found a place to fix it for $100. Still high considering that Auto Zone sells the part for $12.99, but better. So we got ready to tow it over today, and what else does the dealership pull out? Well, since the part isn't covered by the warrenty to check out the car and discover that is now no longer free of charge. They wanted $60 to tell us that their engine that is supposed insured doesn't work right and that they won't fix it. Let's just say that Gary was a VERY unhappy camper.

This in my humble opinion is why car dealerships are worth less than dirt... crummy, mean people.
