Boredom just sat in, so let's see how I do (these were done off the fly, so don't groan too hard).

Top 10 Things You Don't Want to Hear from Your Ford Service Advisor (but probably do)

10) HA! You bought one of those!?

9) Well, the clutch worked fine after we did the 4K RPM dump out of the service bay the first time...

8) Wiper Blade Change? Well, that'll be 7 hours of labor due to having to remove the front windshield from the trunk while rewiring your wiper motor to the brake lights for visual saftey...

7) Hey guys! Come here!!! This thing's got fuel injection! WOW!

6) Yea, we torqued your oil pan drain plug to about 250 lb. ft. to stop any leaks from that area...

5) So, with your tuneup, do you want greasy handprints on your interior or scratched paint on the exterior?

4) Well, if you just didn't drive it you wouldn't have any problems now, would you?

3) Well, the suspension is fine, though you might want to consider purchasing new tires. Our service manager had her up on two wheels in the parking lot and had no problems...

2) Bah! Oil changes are for wusses!

...and number one:

1) Umm...it seems your automatic transmission is broken. The shifter just flops around. Oh, I also meant to ask you about that third pedal on the floorboard...

YOu forgot about the MTX- Would you like your shifter bent when I can't get it into reverse(damn lock-out)?

Happened Last week at a local shop(not my Ford service).
