My turn ... New Roof

Well, I took our car in for its 1st service today. I went down the list of issues to work on; reverse light connection, fuse panel cover, faulty fuel gauge, a weird on time occurrence of blinking gauge lights and bouncing needles and mentioned the roof wear. The marks are noticeable, but not white yet. We have had the car one year and the top has been up and down a lot. The car stays in a garage all day at work as well as when at home.

The car has been there all day and I call around 5 PM to see what the deal was. Well, she told me that they were replacing the top. I figured that I was going to have to fight for that. And I was willing to wait a while since it was not horrible yet. I must say that I am a bit surprised. The only bad thing is that I am driving a Buick LaCrosse as a loaner. A sofa on wheels. Oh well, it is transportation. It could have been a Cavalier. One bad thing about the buick is the speed sensitive volume on the stereo. Crappy. Gets too soft when I slow down. The MINI is much better at that. I could never really notice it. That is how it should work.

Now I wait until tomorrow to hear how it goes. Wish me luck. Should I be happy? ANything that I should make sure that they do? Or don't do?
