Aaaand an email came in from GM's Communications Manager (Western something or another).
They'll provide me with a loaner for at least a week.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a start, anyway.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so ready for a break from the heat - 10 day forecast, still no day under 100. That will be 4 days in the last 2 months under 100, and 3 of those 4 were officially 99.

Well, now, isn't that promising? What's the time-frame on getting the part and getting it installed? Will your local dealer install it for you?

Allyson, if you don't get anywhere call a consumer reporter and/or tweet your story to Ed Schultz or someone(Rachel Maddow?) I got negged a few times. Although I'm not sure if one counts, because I told the guy his profile looked like crap, and shouldn't he be trying to win people over with it?(Which might have looked like a neg in its own right, but honestly? I really am sick of people not putting effort into these things.) But what made it a neg was that he wrote back "Are you always this friendly?" which I believe was intended to make me abase myself with ladyguilt about not captivating a stranger.

That's great news Allyson. Depending on how far you get with this person at GM, a friend of mine who saw your post on Facebook suggested tweeting your problem to @cartalk. NPR to the rescue!
