They found that they needed to replace a strut and ordered the part on Wednesday. When they got it in the next day, they found that they also needed to get a new spring plate and some other things. Of course, they don't have that in stock either. Brings us to today, where they have it almost all fixed up.

They went to align it again after they thought they were done to find there is a little shimmy being caused by one of the rims. Remember I got those replaced already?

So my insurance agent shows up at the same time I do. He doesn't seem very happy that two wheels were purchased already and now we need a third.

I find it strange, myself.

Either way, my service manager at Motorworks had a fun story to tell me about this insurance agent she called an "asshole" and a "total prick." Apparently the conversation went like this:

"What's the labor rate?" "$110." "No, what's our labor rate?" "$110." "No, what is Progressive's rate?" "$110." "No, you don't understand..."

That was fun to hear.

So now I am driving it to Duluth for the weekend, and the steering wheel is rattling a bit. Grrr.... At least I get this other wheel replaced next week.

Maybe I will be get to be done with my car woes then.
