Turbocoop Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I traded in my truck yesterday, I switched to something will better gas mileage. I loved my truck but I was tired of being profiled by the cops on base and in town, getting pulled over and getting tickets for absolute bullshit reasons. I have to go to court this morning for a ticket for my taillights being tinted and my music being too loud.... Im getting married next year and its time to stop spending money on vehicles and start focusing on more important things like family. Im disappointed that I never finished the truck off with a turbo or supercharger though.... Once its listed for sale Ill post a link, cause Im sure its gonna be on the web here soon. Its at a dealership in Wilmington, NC. Its been great talking to you guys on the site, I learned a lot here and hopefully I helped some people out over the years. Ill check back in every once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocoop Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well this is just great, I was driving down I-95 last Friday (my birthday btw) and the trans on the acura went out. It started slipping bad and it was leaking fluid when I stopped. I had 100 miles left on my dealer warranty (30 day 1000 miles) so they are going to cover the repairs. I talked to the shop and it looks like its gonna need a new tranny. This sucks ass, I was supposed to be driving up to PA this week. Do you think the dealership should have to pay for a rental car for me? I mean if I didnt live in the barracks on base I would have no way to get to work right now. I already spent $160 on a rental to get the rest of the way home Friday night. I told the guy at the dealer I needed to drive to PA this week and he said, "well theres only so much we can do for you." Which to me means, "we dont wanna get you a rental car..." If they dont wanna pay for it Im gonna rent one myself and take it to court later I guess. I dont have a choice I need to get up there thursday. This sucks a big one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
