She was on my finger tips!

Greetings everyone!


I had "My Pretty" (05 PS/B MCS with Premium&Sport) all but in my hands.

She was freshly bathed and the sales rep went to gas her up for my first trip. I hear a horrible chirping noise as she pulls out of the lot.
When she returned the rep said it got louder as he drove to and from the gas station and she would have to spend a few more nights at the dealership. Well, they gave me a loaner conv/auto/MC. ( Yawn!)

Can't think of much else atm.

Thx JDS,


Any idea why I got all that HTML in my post?

I tried a post on the test area and no HTML there.

Oh man! That sucks! But I agree better they find the problem then you finding it a month later and then you take it to the dealership and they say they don't hear anything and think your making things up.

It was funny because the car I bought was the car I took a test drive in. It ran fine no noises at all. Then right after they wash it, the noise starts.


I agree, better it happened there then half way home.
