Thanks Lou...
Just arrived home... They gave me a 2013 Cruz.... vroom vroom
with 4000 miles on it.... Its tough for me to get in and out of with my fabulous fake !(prostetic leg) Have to fall in and roll out of it... The B pillar is right in my way in both getting in/out... The steering is as tight as my barstool racer! But it rides fairly decent... considering its a grocery getter...
They had a new Lambo in the showroom... But it was a stick...So, I didnt get to bring that one home....

The manager (that I know) and the General Manager met us both in the service dept and went over it with a fine tooth comb.... The general manager is personally takeing it over to the collision shop and is going to deliver it with specific instructions to do it right as well as get it finished ASAP! Not another 6 week job! Naturally. I took the registration,proof of insurance and the extra keys out of it... all they have is the ignition key....
If I driveby there at night, and its gone...Im reporting it stolen! I did tell the General Manager... It better not come up missing!
I also told him.... If It isnt right.. I want a brand new bumper!!!! No more BS excuses!!!!!

Looks like were going shooting(practice) once again today...
Coffee time!

Morning Everyone.
Hope everyone is well. Cleaned up my 3.1 LS & detailed it. Took
it out for a drive & "Service Engine soon" light came on. The OBD II tester said Clean
Exaust Gas re-circulation. Meaning the EGR passages. Anyone ever done this before?
Any tips? I saw a pretty good You Tube video on this subject.

Thanks,
Mark.

Afternoon all, was on the phone with my insurance agency earlier to save myself a little money and he offered me the black box thing. Where they put something in the obd port and monitor your driving. Considering i drive nights alot and like to have fun in the new monte i opted out, doubt its gonna save me any money And i dont think i could drive like a good boy for however long it is.

Sorry to hear chris

Driving the monte to school my dash was giving me lights Low coolant light has been comign on and off for a long time, it did that but my low oil light came on too. Finally got to school and check oil and coolant, coolant slightly low in the reserve bottle and oil was in the middle of the dipstick. So i'm guessing my sensors are going bad?

Maybe a cat or a dog as a companion?

For some reason i've got this song stuck in my head. They tend to play the 80s at work so i guess thats the reason. I love 80s music
