OK, I just got off the phone with the garage for the second time today. The first call, I was told that everything was together... all the parts came in on time... and it's out for a test drive now. I was also told that I would get a call when they were done and I should be on my way this afternoon. Sha... like I believe I'll be on my way OR that he'll call me. This was 12:00.

This last call (3:15) I am told that he is not having a good day... HE is not having a good day. Do I give a shit about him and his day? I have been without my car for 3 weeks and he's telling me HE is not having a good day. Now, this is not what you want to hear when you call about your car. So guess what... he's running into ANOTHER problem. What a shock!

Apparently now my car is having a hard time shifting... wait... isn't that the problem I was having yesterday? Along with that, the RPMs are running kinda high... Hang on a sec... THAT is the exact reason why I took my car in for repair. He is going to tear it apart again and see if it wasn't put back together right. I'm pretty sure that a drunk and two picture book mechanics can assembling a transmission correctly... it must be something else (yeah right).

He's supposed to call me back when he discovers the root of this problem. I'm going to have to come up with a plan B I think. More to follow...
