Beep Beep:

Have a decent set of wheels, one of those ballsy new Magnums. Steel Gray, low profile extra wide shoes, mags, .... the works. Makes for some kick ass rides once in a while. Kinda like sex at this stage. Anyway, super ride. Has that spaceship type appearance. I nicknamed my new wheels "Darth" as in Vader.


Recently, I received this letter from my local Dodge dealer. It put me on notice that Darth was due for State Inspection aaannnndddd, while your there anyway, oil change, etc.,etc.. Sooo, OK.
Check out the letter.


I interrupted my morning nap and ran Darth over to the place early the next morning. First one in the door as a matter of fact. Went straight up to the counter which is literally cluttered with leaflets and giant posters that boast "Excellent Customer Service" and things like "Stick with the Specialists". I guess this stuff is supposed to build your confidence so if anything goes wrong you assume it’s YOUR problem, not being a "Bleeping" SPECIALIST or anything.

The "Bleeping" Conversation:

Service Specialist: What can I do for you?
Iceman: I received this letter from you. (I presented letter)

Service Specialist: We don’t do State Inspections.
STRIKE 1

Iceman: But your letter, with your letterhead ...........
Service Specialist: NOPE .... want to change your oil?

Iceman: Doesn’t your letter say ...........
Service Specialist: You should rotate your tires at this mileage. You oughta have that done too. It says that on your computer file.

Iceman: Is that the same computer that sent me the notice?
Service Specialist: We don’t do Inspections and you don’t even need it till next year.
STRIKE 2

Iceman: How do you know that?
Service Specialist: I looked at your sticker!

Iceman: Did you take a real close look?
Service Specialist: Wadda you mean?
Iceman: YOU INSPECTED THE "Bleeping" CAR LAST YEAR!!!!

Service Specialist: We don’t do Inspections. Ya want oil and the rotation?
Iceman: Knock yourself out. I only live to keep up with all safety tips and factory maintenance on my vehicle. It runs perfect.
STRIKE 3

Next Day: All my wheels wobble. I sure hope Darth doesn’t need
major surgery. "Bleeping" A HOLES.
