Hey maybe we should get the car an Acid Rain coat. ha ha. just cut out holes for the windows and drive around with a protective rubber rain coat over the car. then the color or paint will not matter. we can produce them in a bunch of colors to match your mood.

you know im so upset about this, he was so full of it. i told him about our paint problems (this is the regional manager) and he told me and i quote "oh those people in on line forums lie"

now you guys have to understand - i had my 1 year old grand daughter who was not happy to be stuck in her carraige and my 10 year old who was just no help. i just couldnt think fast.

but i felt very beat up. i tried to tell my son - this type of man (car dealer world) have little respect for anyones opinions but especially a woman.

my son wanted the entire car painted - haha. and he was upset cause i didnt insist on it. i said you are lucky the hood (a mess) and the bumber
are getting done.

i left thinking they were doing me a favor, like i was crazy and that this was normal.

its really ashame because the dealership is very nice. service is great if you need an oil change. but i am not happy right now and after the car is painted, if they cant find something wrong with my MPG. i am going to fix the dash and sell it/trade it in, even though i love the car, i love the handling and zippy thing. but i feel like i am pushing it up a hill most times and if its not coming up on there computer its never going to get fixed.

i cant live with 22 mpg.

i also showed them the part on the dash board where i tried to put my serius radio and they said "oh oh never use those alcohol pads on this car, i am sure they told you when you bought it" i said no one told me anything, and i didnt even think that the dash wasnt a peice of black plastic. its just spray paint. anyway i told them to let me know how much to fix it.

now the regional manager gave me every excuse known to man for the gas milliage probem - suprised he didnt use globle warming to match the acid rain.

i begged this guy to please drive the car. feel it, just get behind the wheel - he said he would do all that when i drop it off for painting. ugh

I can tell this will not get resolved.

next week i am going to look at the nissan versa, and i can always go back to the scion.
