Poor guy
. That's what you get for the stealership I guess though. At least it'll be Certified Pre-owned.Joel

haha. It really shouldn't be hard for me to land a job in lethbridge since I'm looking for a bank job. And it's sadly getting to the point where I'm thinking I'll take a tellers job and then just work my way up to a decent job. Only since I starting to run out of money right and im bored as **** being unemployed now

My car is completely 100% stock. Still deciding if I'm going SC or turbo. Really no advantage to going SC, but I haven't ruled it out. Just love the sound, and I wanted an SC car all along. And I'm really not looking to make much more than 240-250 whp.

SC Route is really cheap, and the whine of a supercharger is the shiz.
What are you guys doing this weekend? I just got back from the border. Hopefully low key this weekend.

Should be, if you piece together a kit. IIRC they're both start at around $2k from ZZP.
If you want to troubleshoot a SC (Pretty sure one of the bearings in her are shot) I've got one you can have real cheap. Dealers ftl.

I got my first major rock chip in my windshield this morning. It was epic, but apparently only the first layer of the glass was damaged. However, because of the shape of the rock it created two chips side by side. Hopefully what they couldn't fix won't spread too quickly. I'm not looking forward to it the impending doom!
I went to 5 Star Auto Glass on McLeod. Have any of you went there? They're service was decent I guess, though I thought they'd be able to do more with the chip.

warranty replaced my cat when it went bad... then it got recalled shortly after... warranty has been a waste for me. i was supposed to have the extended warranty on my car as well. but apparently the old owner didnt sign it over to me so... and just before i learned that, the dealership i bought my crapbalt off of shut down when GM downsized dealerships... so if i have a problem im either fucked or going to be in 1 hell of a fight with the GM corporate office...

compared to what I'm dealing with right now, a cat is going to be small fries....
besides, from what I've come to understand, not too many people have a factory backed warranty four (calender) years after your car's model year...

Im happy to hear that the warranty does help some people, unfortunately im not one of them.
last winter I cracked one of the plastic end pieces on the stock IC and not only did the warranty not cover the repair/replacement, the dealership made me pay for the rental bill once they finally figured out what was wrong (3 weeks later). And then to top it all off, they wanted to charge me $1300-1500 for them to replace the IC...
I ended up going with ZZP and doing it myself...
