My Worst Nightmare
So I bring in my car today to get the tokico's installed which I'm excited about. I also brought it in for a driveshaft vibration another dealer refused to fix and went with a ride with a tech who immediately said they would overnight a driveshaft to get it put in. I leave the dealership as happy as can be... until later on I get a call saying someone backed into my car while the a technician was moving it.
To make matters worse not only is Monday New Years day, for which the dealership is closed, I was planning to drive my car across the country back to school on Tuesday. Now they don't know when the front bumper will get in or how long it will take to get painted and installed. Even more annoying is I have to leave on Tuesday to get back to school otherwise it means no car for me for a while. Needless to say I'm a little pissed off at the whole situation.

Aww man that sucks. I can't imagine how that phone call went...
Ford guy: "Hi there! Unfortunately we have some bad news. We're not sure when that bumper you wanted is going to be coming in, but we'll get on it as soon as it gets here!"
You: "Uhhhh....bumper? You mean driveshaft, right......RIGHT??"
Ford guy: <long pause> "...oh, I'm sorry sir, I assumed you brought your car in for a replacement bumper, seeing as how yours is completely screwed"
You: "What the **** do you mean?!"
Ford guy: <another long pause> "...oh, right...my supervisor just informed me of the situation. Apparently WE did that to your bumper! That's OUR BAD!"
You: <colorful bits go here>

Tell them you have to leave and need a bumper, painted and installed now, even if they have to take another bumper off of one of their GT's in thedealer lot, sand it, prep it, and paint it to your cars color and then tell them to stick your busted bumper up their a$$.
Damn dude, that really sucks.

There was recently a story on my local news where a guy had special ordered a $200,000 Mercedes from Europe. The car was flown in from Germany and sent to the dealership for prep. After unpacking it, checking it over, and giving it a new wax job the dealership loaded it up on a flatbed to deliver to the customer. Somehow, the driver managed to FLIP THE TRUCKwhen he was turning out ofthe dealership....totalling the brand new car which didn't even have 1 mile on it yet!!
