Well I have only had my car for a month now but its been at the dealer for the last 9 days already waiting on a part to fix the sunroof. Im told the part is on backorder with an eta of 10/15/05. So that means it will have sat at the dealer for 3 weeks waiting on a damn part to fix something on my brand new car. My car only had 650 miles on it when I brought it in. So Im definitly felling your pain man. Good luck.

The part about jumping through the window and rippin the e-brake though is pretty badass
Hope they can get everything fixed like new. With a new trans, clutch, and some body work, you should be good to go.
