Default I Miss My Car!

Finally took my car in for repair after the accident 3 weeks ago.
I was supposed to get a premium rental car but none were on the lot and I didn't feel like waiting. I ended up with a Mitsubishi Eclipse and I hate it. How do people own this thing. It's loud, rude and crude. I should have taken an suv but I hate trucks.
I'm stuck with this thing the next 3 days. Ahhh!
At least the ride will be back to pristine and with a new roof spoiler to boot.

They promised it would be ready by Friday, I told them I had a meet to attend and could bring it next week if necessary. If I don't get my car Fri, there will be hell to pay.

I recently went through this as well. I had a Tahoe for a week. When I got back in the GS, it seemed better than I remembered.

Why would you avoid driving without tinted windows? Do you get carjacked more often or something

Reggie,

Did you bring your toy to one of Lexus' spa for its "plastic surgery," if so you should be driving a Lexus' loaner...at least that's what I got when mine went in for a minor "faceleft" due to freaking hit&run in a parking lot...

You can vent your borden by drive/abuse the shxt out that sorry *** Mitsu!!! and try to enjoy it...

You guys are lucky that you get a lexus loaner whenever yours is in the dealership!! We get crap Tidas or Sunny from the insurance companies...
