I am going to be in the doghouse
On the 5th of July my wife had a fender bender up the street. A lady pulled out right in front of her and she was left with two options, hit the lady’s pickup truck, or a kid on a skateboard. She hit the truck thus saving the kids life.
Well the lady’s truck was one of those jacked up high suspension models hat basically came out of the incident unscathed. I had the wife’s car towed down to our local GMAC dealer for repairs the following day.
The guy I dealt with told me it should be repaired in 10 days and told me I should be able to pick it up on the 20th of July. It wasn’t ready, which didn’t concern me too much since she is out of town. But when I called today, I found out that the person I was dealing with went on vacation, and the guy taking over was still trying to get caught up on all the damaged cars my guy had been handling. I sat around the house all day waiting for him to call and finally I called him. He told me it might be ready Friday evening.
The wife comes back this weekend and needs her car for a trip to Sacramento. Now it may not be ready and if it isn’t I am going to catch the wrath. Maybe since I am on vacation I should do the brave thing and go fishing in northern California for a couple of weeks until she cools down.
Anyway I hope this guy gets it done by Friday. He didn’t sound very confident. And I know she doesn’t want to drive my bug on a trip that long as it is a good car for gas mileage, but not the most comfortable vehicle for a long trip.
