Ch-Ch-Ch-Chevy!

My Jeep is still in the shop. I guess that it finally got assembled and painted yesterday but they are waiting for some hose or something for the AC system and they doubt they’ll get it in time to get my car ready by today, Friday.

But it turns out that every time I called this week, I was told a different story by the same guy. The guy was basically lying to me about the status of my car just to keep me happy. A coworker of mine knows the supervisor at the body shop and she called him and chewed him out. The supervisor then called me and offered me a rental free of charge until my car is ready to be picked up.

So I am driving a 2004 Chevy Lumina. It feels like a toy. I don’t think it goes faster when you press the gas pedal, it just makes a different noise.

Being without a car for close to 3 weeks made me wonder if this is how old people feel when they have their car taken away from them. But then the difference is that I don’t drive through a market killing people.
