Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

They'll provide me with a loaner for at least a week.

Well, now, isn't that promising? What's the time-frame on getting the part and getting it installed? Will your local dealer install it for you?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Allyson, if you don't get anywhere call a consumer reporter and/or tweet your story to Ed Schultz or someone(Rachel Maddow?) I got negged a few times. Although I'm not sure if one counts, because I told the guy his profile looked like crap, and shouldn't he be trying to win people over with it?(Which might have looked like a neg in its own right, but honestly? I really am sick of people not putting effort into these things.) But what made it a neg was that he wrote back "Are you always this friendly?" which I believe was intended to make me abase myself with ladyguilt about not captivating a stranger.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

That's great news Allyson. Depending on how far you get with this person at GM, a friend of mine who saw your post on Facebook suggested tweeting your problem to @cartalk. NPR to the rescue!

Allyson, that's something, but I wish it actually solved the problem for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel like I've been hit in the stomach with a cricket bat. I'm winded and exhausted. And my pain meds prescription is on day #3 of not being refilled.

This conf call needs to be over by 12:30 so I can go to karate. I really need to punch and kick something.

Because books.

Hey, a loaner for a week helps, Allyson! I'd definitely tweet @cartalk, too.

ita, when is your scan scheduled for?
