more squeaks, rattles n leaks

Mr. Q is back at the dealer today. Not only do I have the excessive road noise in the car now, I have a wide assortment of annoying squeaks and rattles. A glass on metal squeak has developed by my ear. Also, rain comes in the passenger’s window A very bad thing.

The Service Advisor, who by the way is not the guy who helped me my first trip into town, has tried to tell me it’s my tires. BS, try again. This guy is really pissing me off today. After several conversations I tell him if he says it’s my tires then fine, go ahead and put your own damn pair of tires on the car.

The next call I receive is they had some guy that used to work on airplanes drive Mr. Q and he hears the squeak, but he describes it as hail on glass. WHATEVER dude, told you it was making noise. Just fix the damn thing.

"you are not on a digitized road"

That’s what the navigation lady tells me as I’m trying to find my new office and get there on time for my first day.

It is now, in Charlotte that I realize I really need to fork over the $200 for an updated Navigation DVD. Still, old NavLady has been doing ok. I really don’t know how all the other folks from TN are finding their way around town. Suddenly I can’t remember what it was like to be in a new town and have to use map quest and map books and suck. Only now have I begun to think that the $1600 addition of the OEM navigation system was a wise investment.

I’ll prolly still continue to curse the NavLady. She has issues. Keeps guiding me to the east portion of a street instead of the west.
