man screw that.. if they did that they better give me an evo X for free, then I'd sell it and buy and evo VIII =P and a gixxer
I had a dream though that they smashed the front in to something and then send it to the body shop and then when they were going to give it to me i noticed something was off about it... and then they admitted that the totaled the front end and got it repaired... then i woke up so i can't tell you what happens after that... =P

****! if you want something ****ing done right, you gotta do it yourself. I can't ****ing open the passesnger side door because when they sent it to maaco they probably took it off to re paint it and didn't put the locking mechanism back properly... no confidence in my car what so ever any more... they didn't even put back the under trays properly, they just slapped it on with zip ties... now i'm going outside to try to deal with my door... ****... I wonder what else i'll find...

I'm appalled by the lack of.. brains.. the shear amount of stupidity and laziness of everyone that ever worked on your car since you brought it in. How in the hell do they put a door on and send it back to you -knowing- that, ****, look.. it dont open. The least they could of done for you is given you a free hammer so that next time you wanna open the window and it doesnt work, at least you got a free hammer to smash the damn thing open. You need a gun. lol

ok, now i'm really ****ing sick and tired of all this ****... upon further inspection... beyond the fact that they didn't use a cotter pin properly, the tranny oil filler plug was finger tight, the tranny oil drain plug was finder tight, there's oil on the bottom of the tranny case, the passenger side drive shaft oil seal from the tranny casing is leaking oil. under panels were held on by one zip tie, which i promptly cut so i could put everything together properly, and it all fell on top of me, blots from the lower bell housing cover were missing.
so now my question is.... if this were someone who were not mechanically inclined as I am, what would happen? driving on the highway, and suddenly the transmission seizes from no oil, who's lives would be at risk because of these faults...
I'm seriously thinking of filing complaints with various places including BBB and AMVIC (Alberta motor vehicle industry council) and mitsubishi... this is really unacceptable... anyone know of any other places to file these?

i know, thats why i'm saying it's a huge safety issue... I'm going to ask for the manager this time though. I think they should extend the warranty on my tranny though.. with the drain plug loose, who knows how much oil it lost and what has happened before i caught it...
I also wouldn't mind if they gave me a whole new car... but i'm doing all the work myself and they'll probably never touch it unless it's warranty... but even then... they might screw it up again....
