They kept the car for a couple days and decided to call me and talk to me about it on oaks day (if you know about the kentucky derby and oaks day in louisville, KY you'd understand) and i was already drinking quite a bit. The guy rambled on about how he had a "team of engineers" working on my car but couldnt figure out the problem. Im not sure waht he exactly said, but i think he said that water was seeping into my main harness, somehow affecting my ABS wiring or something, and that it would take well over $300 just to figure out where the problem is and replace it, i dunno. Being that i was a little "tipsy" already, i told him to just forget about it and get the car running again.

After getting it back from the shop, the speedo worked perfectly. I know they didnt replace anything or charge me for any speedo or electrical problems, but i haven't had the problem return yet.


heheheh
that was a funny story..
what is oaks day
?




The kentucky derby is the big race, 1st saturday of may. Oaks is the big race the day before that, on friday. Its just a big drunken party in the infield of the track. Oaks and derby is such a big thing aroudn here that all the middle and high schools are closed on oaks day (friday).
