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.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

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!

Allyson, that's something, but I wish it actually solved the problem for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel like I've been hit in the stomach with a cricket bat. I'm winded and exhausted. And my pain meds prescription is on day #3 of not being refilled.

This conf call needs to be over by 12:30 so I can go to karate. I really need to punch and kick something.

Because books.
Hey, a loaner for a week helps, Allyson! I'd definitely tweet @cartalk, too.
ita, when is your scan scheduled for?

I would think Click & Clack would be interested in the question, really--how can we have a system that is so fubar that a not-very-old car is useless because the manufacturer stopped making a vital part?
SuziQ, I hope CJ is deemed fine.

If Allyson could get on Car Talk, that would fucking ROCK!
