Okay, it looks like I'm picking up the car later this afternoon. Believe me, I felt like laughing as I typed that last sentence.
Dealer service manager laughed at my car wanting warranty service. So basically it was sitting at the service parking lot for 2 days, thru the rain, hole in my hood, and uncovered while the Mechanic, Greg, and Mananger argued about the AC should be covered. From what Greg said, it got pretty heated.
Bottom line..

Bottom line..
- it went to the Dealer for nothing.
- AC is still not working.
- car and undercarriage is dirty as f*ck from being driven in the rain.
- I have to buy 2 O2 sensors.

Sorry dude, I had to laugh at that one.
F*&(ing dealer. They can be such ******** sometimes.
The O2 sensors I can kinda understand but the AC ?? It's fightable if that makes sense.

^Well ,if your sh*t was clean as F*ck, and it got driven through the rain, you'd be pissed too.
Warranty issue arguable yes, but his employee works at that Stealership so he had to stand down. Manager threatened to withdrawl the other claims if he persisted.
Right now, I don't care about the AC, I just want the car back in sound mechanical condition.

Talk about a rock and a hard place. I wish I knew a place for you to take it in your area, but I don't. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could.
So, the AC and O2's are bad, what is the news on the rest of the engine. Any problems, anything to worry about or are you good to go with just a couple small, comparitively speaking, issues ?? If the large issues is resolved and it's mechanically sound the others will fall in line eventually. O2s maybe Kevin 05stangkc can cut a deal ?? save at least some scratch, right ? Then once it's tuned on the rollers you should be very sound. The AC

O2 sensors are already in the process of getting them. No time for mail order stuff, as they're directly affecting some idle issues.
The AC I'll mull over later. Possibly take it in to a local dealer maybe next year.

As far as I'm told, everything else is up to snuff. I specifically told Greg to give it a once over, telling him I don't want to return to his shop until I hit 500 miles.

One more thing.... It was wet out today out here so watch out. You've got a **** load of power on skinny wheels and a slick road. It's been too long, please for the love of god please be careful. The car might look like crap but let it look like crap at home and in one piece.

Thankfully, it's sunny now.
Bill - glad to hear at least you'll have the car back today (hopefully). The AC issue can be figured out with different dealers. If it's running sound, might as well have her home.

Dealers suck although I can see their point about the AC. I know saying that doesn't make me popular but it's true..... I mean it could be a blown fuse, bad condenser, pinched wire, etc. etc. etc. from the engine R&R. Any way, what really matters is.........
