They're taking the p***

[detonate]

So, you buy a V6 Twin turbo from a company (ok not the same one but still)
and you take it in to get serviced, they call you up and say it's going to cost $900 as there's some things wrong, needs new brake pads, plus a tyre is completely shot.
Ok, a bit rough, never mind, I give the go ahead and they do the work.

Then just as I'm hoping in a taxi at 5:30 to make my way to pickup my VR, I get a call from the manager. "Hi umm we've busted up your wheel"
"err what?"
"we've striped the centre cap thread blah blah somethingerather, we take full responsibility and we're going to try to source you a new mag. Come in and we'll give you a courtesy car"

ok so, I can handle that, **** happens, they're sorting it out.

BUT

then they give me this:




A GOD DAMN PEACH COLOURED COLT!!!!!!!!!!!11one

Now that is just darn right insulting!

then they give me this:

Thats awesome.

Just do what everyone else does... thrash the crap out of it then use the money you save on gas for booze

All very well posting a picture of it - but I can't really get my head round the actual humiliation involved. Maybe a photo of the car with you behind the wheel would convey the embarassement better!

Look on the bright side! When you're in the car, you can't see it!

Hehe! Unlucky! Just camp it up for a week or two! Every time someone gets in your car just tell them "Oh, shut that door!"

If it is a manual, rev it to the red line, put it into 5th gear and dump the clutch as quickly as possible. leave the handbrake on.

If it is an auto, do the same thing, but in neutral and dump it into drive. Again, best results come from having the handbrake on

so how long you gotta wait before you get your real car back?

[detonate]

No idea, haven't heard from them yet.
Will give them a call soon if I don't hear from them.
