car service question

None of the lights flash or blink yet, the airbag light concerns me the most
I really don't want to get air bagged at freeway speed, I'll be sure to watch
for any flashing, thanks for the heads up

I don't know about dan, but I listen to "Car Talk" every Saturday morning (it's on from 10-11 down here) on the local NPR station. Guys are hilarious; I love the puzzlers. My situation might not be a bad one to call in, but they seem to prefer talking to people whose cars are making funky sounds which they like to make them imitate. I've heard that's the surest way to get past their call screeners.

also recommend watching top gear, the brit version.

I don't listen every week but when i do it seems the callers are all women..Maybe call them and give you name as Michele

Do you listen to Wait wait don't tell me?...also hiliarious and Peter Sagal is great.

they're coming to get the car in the morning. tony's taking care of it, was on the phone with both the service manager and with chevrolet.

Good on that, dan. Yes, big, I listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," which follows "Car Talk" at 11:00. Usually pretty funny stuff.

the service manager told tony that he felt the stuff they did on trips one and two were unnecessary. that he put a different mechanic on it on the most recent visit, and that he feels he got the canister correct, but...

so, there will be discussion about making things right on that bill when all is said and done. we haven't paid another penny since the first visit.
