Bring it on Home

blueandwhite_16605_7.jpgIts gone now. The Man Scorpion no longer has the coolest license plate in the world. No more 64TACOS on that beautiful blue Michigan plate. Its just another random number and letter combination rolling down the road now.

rmc0063l.jpgA women came in with her 1987 Nissan Mazima. Its her moms car. Let me start again. Theres a mother/daughter team that comes in about once a week and has us check their car out (for free) for all kinds of crazy shit. When they come in we check all the fluids, fill the tires with air. Some times well (thats "we will" for those of you who are stupid) do a suspension evaluation because theyll complain of a phantom noise. Well they were in the other day, and 1 of the other techs did a stearing/suspension evaluation on the car. He found the stearing rack to be leaking. They came in again today to verify that it was leaking. I looked at it and sure enough, it was. The woman says she has a warranty on the rack. She gets out the receipt and its from December of 1995. Hand written on the receipt it says "lifetime warranty". Apparently, because of something that happened over 11 years ago, this woman was given a lifetime warranty on her rack. Normally, this wouldnt be a problem. Not many people keep their cars for longer then the normal life of a replacement rack. These women are special though. They have their car in the shop weekly. Next week well be putting the rack in, for free.

Ice Ice Baby

sleetform.gifOn my way to work this morning, there was ice on the ground (sidewalk style). On the way home they had salted it. No big deal right? Well, the ice wasnt frozed percipitation, it was from the sprinklers. It got a little cold last night and the sprinkler overflow froze on the sidewalk. This city is strange.
