    Hi all, hope everyone is having a successful start to their season. On Monday night, driving home from Brooklyn NY to Long Island where I live. Notice the tempeture gauge reading hot, fluctuating in the bumper to bumper traffic that is NY!!. Happens Tuesday going into work. Leave work early to bring to mechanic. Jeep is dropped off Tuesday morning, 11:00am, no problem right!! Today is the opener here in NY. Was gonna drive upstate to a dear friends of mine and some other great friends to hunt this evening was my plan. As I write this, my angry red face STILL waiting to hear about the car, nothing yet! I know its silly to complain with all thats wrong with the world today but jeepers!!!!!!!!! Hopefully I can be upstate for tomorrows morning hunt! Sorry to rant just itching to get out there!! Good luck boys and girls, be safe!:rant:

    That's what I was thinking too.

    Hopefully they will get you taken care of.

    Well, I went and picked up my car at 4:00pm this afternoon, I was shocked when the service guy just handed me the keys and said we are good! Saved me $450, I nearly fell on the floor! There are still some good people out there in the world!

    That's what the insurance is for.

    Glad to hear the car got fixed, hopefully you're on the road as I type!
