In fact they always seem to telephone me as I am about to go into a meeting (or the bathroom) and seek approval for a series of repairs that all seem pretty life threatening with each doo-hickey attracting a small associated fee... it's just there seems to be a lot of these hickeys... to be fair, the car drives really well now... I just gotta work out which kid or pet I'm gonna have to sell to payoff American Express for the charges. Yup me too.

If they told me there was a $400 Honesty Surcharge for <em>not</em> lying about what's wrong with my car, I'd probably pay it without thinking twice, and then give them another $300 because my Finkelstein Rods need to be rotated after the third full moon every year.
