Drove around Charlotte looking for any other Z owners enjoying the beautiful weather

*Edit: Yes, they're the OEM nismo wheels.

Yeah, it's not rocket science, but the dealerships don't have "touchless" mounting systems. That will FUBAR your wheel every time.

I'm demanding:
-Full reimbursement for the fix
-Dealer courtesy loaner

Betting I get neither.

Finally finished my paint correction and got to drive my Z today for the first time in 3 weeks! Yay, no swirls!!

shadowfax · 01-21-2013, 02:08 AM

Took her to Del Taco. Don't judge me! Sometimes I like shitty fast food mexican

JARblue · 01-21-2013, 09:38 AM

Went to the dealer, and they said I had about a 1.5 hr wait to get my coolant filled. The guy proceeded to tell me that it was due for a flush. I looked at him and said, "at 30K miles?!? The manual says 105K."

So I went inside to buy some (not the slightest bit interested in waiting and certainly not getting a full flush). After purchase inside I ask one of the service guys if I can borrow a funnel, and the guy responds incredulously that they can't lend tools to customers, as though I'm going to run off with their $0.75 funnel. Said fine, screw you too, and drove back to the office.

I only added a little because I don't want to overfill while it's hot. I will check it again tonight at home when it is on level ground and the engine is cold. Here's my red Solo cup funnel

Bought a scan gauge. Nice universal tool.

Arguing with dealership about them damaging my wheel. They're saying they didn't do it but I am 100% positive it happened at the dealership.
