I hate it when customers come back for a noise in their car. They think it's the suspension going out or loose.
Today, I got a '08 Chevy, 46K miles with noise in the rear. Test drove it and I confirmed there was noise from the rear. It sounded it was coming from the trunk. So I opened the trunk to find out there was a bottle of coolant and a spray bottle. I knew already that was making the noise from shifting around.
I took the bottles and placed it at the rear seat and made sure it will not be moving around and be hitting each other. Then got in the drivers seat and took off and braked hard. I said to myself, did you hear that? Nope I did not hear a thing. EXACTLY!!
Some of these customers have no common sense!! Stop wasting my time!! I don't get paid to just remove a couple of bottles out of your trunk, FUCKERS!!

Why does my a/c fan work only on 4 and 5 setting??
This '03 Chevy Malibu got me stumped. First, I checked all the fuses and relays connected to the a/c controls and they were all good. Then I thought the resistors were bad in the a/c control assembly on the dash. So I replaced it and the problem was still there. That cost the used car department about $400!! OOPPSSS my fault!!
I found out that the blower motor resistors was located adjacent to the a/c blower on the passenger side underneath the glove box. The resistors controls the speed of the a/c fan. I made the assumption that the resistors were located in the controls like other makes have it. I found this out by going to our online system we have on looking at all the other car makes "how to" stuff and part replacements.
So I got the part and replaced it. And yippy it worked!! Got paid for only and hour but spent about two on it. Lesson learned. Always check the online site to save time and money. Oh, and the blower motor resistor cost below $40. I could have saved the used car sales department $400 for the control unit but the got the benjamins. You herr'e meeee!!

It would be nice to have a BMW.
I test drove a 2005 BMW 645Ci Coupe. It had a V8 engine, 4.4L with 60K miles on it and it was a blast to drive. I love this car!! Only 1 problem is it doesn't fit my budget!! Blue book on this baby is $30K!! That can buy 30 carabaos and it only eats grass!! Haha...Hehee!! Just thinking about how my ancestors traveled before.
One of the many things I like about this car it handles very well on the road, it sticks to the road like bubble gum or your hair. But it eats gas like a fat boy in a Las Vegas hotel buffet line. Just eating what's in front of him. Like a black hole. From dead stop to 60MPH it felt like I was getting sucked in the chair. It's pretty fast. It has to be, it has a V8!!
And the interior is really nice. The seats are comfortable, only problem is, it can't scratch your back. If I paid $30K for a car it should!! Right??!!
Overall I give this car a 10. But of course, it's a luxury car!! It is a guarantee you will have heads turning and chicks digging it and your wallet!!
