Delays With New Vehicle Parts

Delays With the Shell
I had stopped in yesterday at the shell dealer (it’s a Leer, by the way) to see what’s up with it, when it’s supposed to be in, and all. He said that it’s supposed to arrive this Friday (that’s tomorrow), and we set up an appointment to have it installed that afternoon.

Now I can retire the 4Runner, get it detailed, & get it sold! Great!

Until, that is, a few hours later. We get a phone call, the guy tells us they won’t have it until the middle of next month. How fucked up is that? That’s an additional two weeks away. He offered an additional $75 off the price, but still. I mean, that’s an extra month I have to pay insurance on the 4Runner and worry about it, now. I got this truck to replace it, and I’ve spent the last two weeks already parking the Taco & digging out the Retired Vet to do the job.

Little pissed, here.

Delays w/ the Skid Plate, too
Remember how they forgot to order & install the Skid Plate? They said it would be here by this passed Monday. It’s now less than 3 hours from Friday. Methinks they forgot again.

Grrr. Tomorrow we call. See if we can’t at least get that straightened out.
