I've heard that's the surest way to get past their call screeners.

I don't listen every week but when i do it seems the callers are all women..Maybe call them and give you name as Michele
Do you listen to Wait wait don't tell me?...also hiliarious and Peter Sagal is great.

they're coming to get the car in the morning. tony's taking care of it, was on the phone with both the service manager and with chevrolet.

Good on that, dan. Yes, big, I listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," which follows "Car Talk" at 11:00. Usually pretty funny stuff.

the service manager told tony that he felt the stuff they did on trips one and two were unnecessary. that he put a different mechanic on it on the most recent visit, and that he feels he got the canister correct, but...

so, there will be discussion about making things right on that bill when all is said and done. we haven't paid another penny since the first visit.

right...so, they fetched the car. tony had told them about our battery terminal concerns, that corrosion probably was causing an issue.

well, guess what. they took it to shop, cleaned up terminals to get proper connection and hooked up the computer...

catalytic converter. explains, rough idle, stall, all of it. if they've got correct info this time...its covered under warranty.
so, a fixed car, and a refund for unnecessary repair ought to make everything ok.
