Re: What the F@#OIU@%)O&(T!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, thanks for all the thoughts. Everyone involved was very lucky on this - especially the random person in a Honda Civic who could have been but wasn't in the other lane when I had to borrow it!
Given the way everything turned out, I don't think there is any point in being mad about this. Getting fully compensated is another issue, and I will make sure that happens. The dealership needs to remember that they are very lucky on this - lucky that no one was in the way, lucky that I was able to control it, lucky that it wasn't the right front wheel that could have sent me into the river, lucky that they have a couple thousand dollar repair instead of a massive insurance claim or court case on their hands.
I know the owners personally, and as long as they make this right, it will stay between me and them. I don't even want the mechanic's head - he's the same guy that identified and corrected my steering issues. And I have about thirty mechanics I'm ultimately responsible for at work. They have made a few mistakes over the years that cost us some big bucks. Unfortunately, human beings are not perfect.
All that said, I will be taking a much more skeptical view of any repairs in the future, and I will double-check the work.
Here's to more positive things like that Door Talon thingamajig. I need to get back out there and give myself a reason to order up one of those!
