My dad's passed away

In the vein of the internet... I've decided to post it, as the news came in. Perhaps out of therapy, or some such.

But, yea, the title says it all.

The Car

Ok.

So my Sirrius radio hasn't been working since, what, January? Well, I finally go to the guys in Roseville to have them take a look. As it turns out, they claim it's a manufacturer problem and will be giving me a new device at the end of this month, or next, whenever that firmware update, or what not, comes out.

Cool.

So I point to the passenger-side window roll-down button, and how it's all foobared.. and they're like: oh, sure, we'll fix that too.


And an iPod adapter?

Well, you pay for the hardware, we'll cover labour.

Hm.

So, mental note, bring in all of my invoices from diagnosing the "battery" problem to have them cut me a check for that.


And then yesterday, my Cellphone's out of batteries.. so I whip out my car charger and put it in... and it doesn't light up, or start to charge. Odd... so I put in the cigarette thing.. but it never pops out, so I have to dig it out with my nails.. but it's not even warm -- even after 30 minutes of sitting in..

So now I'm like: WTF???!!!!


I'm assuming this part has to be under a one year warrantee, at least... so back to the dealership in Stockton..

Sigh.

And what's so weird, is that it was working a week ago. And I watched what the guys in Roseville did to check out my car radio and I didn't see them do anything whack, soo...


Double-sigh.

And with my whack travel schedule for the next week...

I guess it'll be another 3-4 weeks until I can get the time to get it fixed.
