Goddamn Ford dealer! I wait a full week for some touch up paint I ordered - for $12 freakin' dollars at that. I wanted the spray paint, and for a good reason but they give me this crap thing with an auto load brush applicator. Less than an ounce of fucking paint! Needless to say I made sure they know I feel ripped off. They tried to tell me it's a special color. Bullshit. The car is white - that's not even a color. I then explained to them that nail polish is exactly the same as touch up paint and I've been using that on my truck for years.
Then i go to Pro Cat - my usual mechanic and my heart sinks when I see that idiotic meathead still working behind the counter. I wanted to have them check the heater that isn't working. This imbecile - and I call him this because of the fiasco with the truck last summer. Dumbass was stumped because the hub locks on the 4x4 turned in opposite directions and he thought it was broken. Idiot. Don't get me started - I can go on and on about his idiocy.
Anyway, I tell them what I did to install the radio and he tells me it's going to cost at least $100 to test the wires. Ain't going to happen. I tell him exactly what I did and that I have the power hooked up with the ABS and Traction control because it's a 'switched' circuit. meaning it only works iwth the key in the ignition as it should so not to kill the battery.
Dumbass begins to tell me that I killed the cars computer because I did that. Are you shitting me? Do I really have stupid written across my head? He tells me that sometimes the computer is tied into other things. I assure him that NO manufacturer is going to tie a computer in with a safety feature like ABS and traction control. Never mind the fact that EVERYTHING but the heat in the car is working.
I walked out. We'll figure this out somehow on our own as soon as Matt has a night off from side jobs.
