Tuesday turmoil

So, last night I'm reading (gingerly, because they're savage over on this site) on the VW Vortex forum about .. well, Phaetons, of course. And there's an article online that says VWoA is going to start importing the 2008 Phaeton (now that VW is no longer under VW management, the Porsche people are thinking big, it seems.)

In the to-ing and fro-ing of "will they or won't they" I find a picture of a Phaeton (two, really) in Papillon Silver Heliochrome .. which I dutifully reproduce for you here.



It's silver, it's gold, it's coppery, it's ... a color shifter! And I love it.

Had a glorious conversation with a woman from GM Executive today.

First, she has invited me to take my car to a different Pontiac dealer at my own expense for evaluation and repair, and if it is found by the new dealer that the old dealer failed to complete warranty repairs properly, then they'll consider reimbursing me. But they won't tell the new dealer that this is a failed warranty repair; they seem to thing that would be "wrong."

She kept saying "well, you have to cooperate for us to do anything to help you."
I kept saying "you're not offering to help me at all"

Never again with the GM. Never ever.
