Hey, get tough with 'em lady! I didn't, I let them tell me I was wacky - until the car finally died
on the road, in a puff of smoke. Many years ago my car had been in and out of the shop, I could
smell something burning whenever I exited the car. I'd take it in, and of course by the time they
got around to looking at it the problem didn't happen. When we had to have it towed, along with hub
having to come to wisconsin to collect me and my smelly son (returning from 2 weeks at summer camp)
- the problem was finally discovered - by a different dealer. Seems I had been driving for well over
a year with one of the front brakes totally engaged ... hense the smelling something burning ..
which may have caused the engine to overwork. I'm not a mechanic so don't fully understand, nor do I
care. It really ****** me off to continually be told nothing was wrong.
Like you, I no longer take the ****. If I have to get tough to let it be known that I will not be
pushed around - I will. Good for you for regaining your courage and self-confidence!
