found a huge nail in my summer tires while putting them on.. in the tread but really close to the sidewall.. shop fixed it but suggested I get a new tire to be safe. i think i'll drive my car into a wall and get my $5600 new car protection back and buy a t/c cobalt. that might hurt though.. so maybe not afterall.

i dont think the t/c has protection against nails in tires lol

no i'm just really annoyed with gm its such a hassle with everything, this stage 2 bs and even regular maintenance like this tire.. i phoned 2 stealerships and asked if I could drop in and have the tire fixed quickly and they say no "we would have to book you in".. and "we don't know when they could get around to it so it might be an hour"

so i stop at stafford auto service on the way to work and and they fix it in literally 5 minutes..

any time you get a chance jeff is good for me. If you need the internals right away it only takes me about 15 mins to get the lens off and clean out the old sealant while it's still soft. So, just let me know buddy.

lol as if it's ****** snowing right now.

yah i know what you mean, but i'm a nerd accountant so i always figured out how much i'm losing and that 10 bucks extra per fillup amounts to $500 a year for me which would buy a nice carbon fibre hood (almost)

and guess what everyone, like i said, my summer tires are on, now its snowing

sorry i really couldnt do much to help ya out today.. i was hoping the tech could do the reflash without a workorder therefore costing u very little. but the managers have gotten tough on that apparently.. this is their point of view,if somebody backed into your car...it would be considered your problem and i dont think you would want that.
the whole task apparently takes about a half hour but they charge you for a whiole hour which =$80.
Thats absolute bullshit there is no way you should have to pay for another flash.

JP sorry i didnt wave or anything at ya my drivers window is broked didnt know if you could see me or not getting fixed tomorrow.

Holy **** what a JOKE these dealers are being. If the guy at Vicars cant do the flash for ya then I will. Sorry ill have to charge you $80, because thats the cost of the credits for HP tuners. But then look on the brightside.....i can always tune your car for ya later down the road.

thanks i appreciate it, if worst comes to worst and the the dealers luck out i would be more than happy to pay you to do it.. i'm at my sisters quite often just outside of stony mountain so thats closer for you too.. and there would be free beer of course

It does work to a certin extent, but it isnt as informative as i would like. it tells you standard features and safety features. all the vin decoders i tried seem to be the same way.
