[quote=""Jeff V.""]Another morning passed without updates. Again.
So I called in. Again.
Got another useless customer service agent. Again.

He said his last notes were that I was going to have the car inspected, and asked if I had done that. I let him know they've had the completed packet since first thing Monday morning, and their useless little website dashboard had a worthless green check saying my DMV docs were completed.

He's going to forward it on to someone in the docs dept and he assures me I won't have to call in and ask for an update again.

I wish I had never done this.[/quote]

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

You say you wish you hadn't done it, but a year from now you won't even think about this, you'll just be thinking about how nice your Grand Sport is :)

Perhaps, but I’d be feeling almost exactly like he is right now. I’d be thinking “this is why I can’t have nice things”

Shift is giving the shaft.
Shift’s gears are slipping.
Shift is just grinding gears.
Shift isn’t double clutching like they should.

Yeah. Been Shifted royally.

Had another shitty call today. It took a lot of back and forth with more bad info before the CS rep told me the doc team allegedly requested the temp tag on the 27th. They should have it in 2-3 business days, and they'll email it to me. Could be tonight. Could be Monday. Could be never.

At one point he offered me a rental car. The only reason I didn't take it is because I figured it'd be more headache than it was worth given their record thus far. But it did make me consider something. I'm fighting this battle over a toy. My second toy. I have multiple other cars I could drive.

Imagine if I had bought something I had to rely on to get to work? That'd be a whole other level of fucked up.

I'm just dumbfounded that they think this is ok for anyone.

I think they have to much play in their shift

This is why you should have an auto.

They need a shift kick in the butt.

Who the shift they think they are.

I actually could do this all day.

Sorry jeff.

I wonder if it's usually that bad or just because of the cross country thing.
