So as most of you know I just had the bumper replaced and the dent fixed on my car. Well when the tires were being installed I noticed one small dent where they repaired, easy miss as its down low but it still bugs me. I am waiting for their paintless guy to come anyway so he can remove the little ripple in the drivers door and figured he could finish that dent then.
Well on my way home I stop at Autozone for some gear oil and as I walk away from the car I notice the headlights are on but no parking lights. I think of GMAN and I check the fuse first. It was blown so I slap another one in yet no parking lights still.
I can hear the relay in the dash clicking and when it does the neon flashes for a millisecond.
Then it hit me, they pinched a wire when they put the bumper on. So there I am in AZ parking lot taking apart my trunk. I find the tail light plug and unplug it then all the front parking lights and neon fire up.
So here it is, pitch black out and me with no tools and 50 miles from home. I trace the wires and find them pinched under a retaining nut. One completely broken and the other just shorting to ground.
So I had to go into AZ and buy a stripper and butt splices but they are cheap crap ones that are over priced. Found a nice kit for $20 though that had strippers, tape, various wire connectors and some other tools so I grabbed it and went to wait in the ridiculously long line again.
I have one fat ass Mexican dude try and cut in front of me until he saw that I was gonna beat him to death right there. He backed away. So Brandon calls me as I am standing in line and looking at a very neat but not needed flashlight and as its my turn, some big ass ugly as sine 350lb black woman sets her chrome fake side vent stickers and illuminated valve stem caps on the counter. I forget what I said exactly to Brandon but it was something like "And these selfish dumb asses in Autozone that just cut right in front of you in line" loud enough so she could here me. I was hoping for a response but she said nothing and just rolled her eyes.
So anyway, I go out to the car and fix the wires but notice my license plate is not illuminating. Figure while I am there may as well buy a new bulb....... if only the damn housing was there. Just the damn plug taped up. No reflector or lens at all. Freakin ass hats.
Any one of those three screw ups I could understand but to have done all three....... oh yeah, four! The light they repainted wasn't prepped well so there are a couple green spots by the lens.
Fracking ass hats. Its Friday night so I cant even go tear them a new ass hole till Monday.
I was very honest with the guy too before I even agreed to have the work done. I told him I am anal and it better be right or he will dislike me. I told him I knew the exact color match is impossible but I wanted the dent perfect and no messing up the rest of the car.
Just cant trust my baby with anyone.
On the up side the bitch that cut in front of me was sticking her fake side vents to her brand new paper plated Kia Sorento when I finnished. So I pulled behind her and aimed the car out the driveway. Turned off the traction controll and stood on it without flashing the converter so I shot a ton of loose pavement at her and her car. :lol:
