And we have a drivable vehicle . . .


Went to The Whale after dropping Kiddo off and picked up the Pontiac Torrent. Leo Labbe had the service manager, not Jeff, add the 90 days or 3000 miles used car warranty to the Pontiac starting from the present odometer reading in writing on the paper work detailing what was done to fix the vehicle. Jeff wasn't there, we knew he wouldn't be because his daughter was having her baby today, and I could not get the Service Manager or Leo Labbe to write up the 12000 mile or one year warranty on the work they completed. The Manager said it was an implied warranty on Fords. Well, a Pontiac is not a Ford. Labbe said he didn't know how the GM warranty works and to call Jeff Monday because he's sure Jeff would have told us the right thing over the phone when Dad had called Friday. I've been keeping notes about all of this just in case it turns ugly. Puppy's Pop said I have to stop worrying but I need to get some peace of mind about this purchase. We have plenty of heat and the Pontiac is truly a good looking ride. I just need it to run well for another 160,000 miles with just minor hassles. Hope Monday isn't going to be a pain when I call and talk to Jeff. But . . . in the short run the Pontiac is home and I really like it.
