judecorpI went to Quirk to pick up my car today. They couldn't test it out to see if the new fuel pump was working because the gas cap was locked and I forgot to give them the key. Oops! So I brought it over and waited for them to test it out.
An hour of Fox News later (UGH), CSD gave me back the key to the rental car. After a "Whaaaa?" and a "You are KIDDING me!" he let me know that they tested out the new fuel pump and the car is actually running WORSE. I cautiously asked, "Are you saying there's something ELSE wrong?" and he said that the tech thought that perhaps they got a bum fuel pump. (Which flashed me back to a conversation last night with Steve, when he said that they might try to stick me with a used fuel pump.)
I left, took the smoke-smelling (yuck) rental and try to look at the positive - power windows and locks. Maybe I'll have a car tomorrow... but I refuse to cancel more home visits to take care of this stupid car.
I asked CSD to please just set it on fire.
