I had my summer rims/tires on and I had school then work all day yesterday so no chance to switch back to my winters... driving home from work at midnight was hell. work was pretty ****** shitty too all of our planes were delayed cuz visibility was below minimums for a while. being outside in freezing rain and -6 all night isn't fun when there are no buildings around and the wind howls.

you guys think you had it bad me and criz78 started our trip to kelowna at about 4pm yesterday we didn't get here until about 3:30pm today. the roads were hell, and since we had to take the south route through kootanee pass it was hell. we got to fernie last night and decided to stop because you couldn't see more then 5 feet in front of you and then this morning we got stuck in kootanee pass, put the tire chains on the cobalt but little did we know they decided to basically chew up both wheel well liners, the paint off of the side skirts and started ripping through the metal of the lower bracket for both fenders. after we got through the pass it was more or less dry as a bone and ranging from 0* to 7* with sun and clouds.

now the drive home tomorrow is gonna be fun if highway 1 is still closed.

oh and the reason why we put the chains on is because we slid from our lane's shoulder to the other side shoulder and almost went over the cliff that was right there.

You should see how they returned it to me.

There are finger print marks on the headliner, bolts missing, the wiper bolts and part of the assembly missing, vacuum leak somewhere by the break booster/ cylinder, bolts/retainers missing off the firewall blanket, heat shield buy the down pipe bent, bolt missing from H/U, break lines that run along the firewall bent and touching the exhaust, stains on my carpet, broken satin trim on both sides of my steering wheel, scratches all over the dash and who knows what else....

I phoned **** and left a message for them to phone me. I am pissed after the amount I just spent to have it fixed and this is how I get my car back. If I were to do such a shitty job and give my clients back a product with that many mistakes I WOULD BE FIRED!!!!

I'm going to trade this car in.

I was joking.

I would not sell this to anyone on here in its current condition. Of cource I am going to get these issues fixed. The car is in good running condition and is not the fault of the car but a half assed fix job on the part of the dealer. Don't get me wrong the dealer fixed the car in record time but if I am shelling out 2500 CAD for the repair they should take the time to do it right the first time and the shop forman should review the finished work to make sure everything is OK so I dont' have to go back. You all know I am **** when it comes to my car and after a huge repair such as this of cource I am going to check the work out. I am still going to trade this in if I can get a good deal. If you are going to buy a used car and don't check it out before puchase then it's your own fault.

I had this car checked through the dealer before I bought it and all was OK. That's why I bought it.

Some people should just keep there uninformed opinions to themselves.

If by headliner you mean the hood blanket then yes I will trade it with you if and when I deside to trade the car in.
