Art said this is just like that seinfield episode!!!
You know something Art? Most of my life is like a Seinfeld episode. And often people compare good old Thor to Larry David, co-creator of the show. I am now highly suspicious that they were using us. It's time to ask for royalties. However, they probably aren't worth as much after the recent Kramer Goes Psycho on the Black Hecklers event.
Lena said: Sounds fishy to me - I mentioned it to Ole and he had no suggestions other than to beware of any used cars purchased in the upper midwest for the next several years. Lots of cars that were involved in the flood in New Orleans were put into the auto auctions and have ended up in this area. Did you run a check on this car by VIN number? How reliable is the dealer?
We did run a check on the VIN number (I think you forgot that I was married to Inspector Consumer Reports, Red Dot Division) and the vehicle shows up as a Rental from Arizona. Perhaps the dealership was trying to cover up the smell of the previous owner who spent his or her time eating at Old Country Buffets and spreading the grease, via their polyester pantsuit, to the upholstery.
I laughed at your question about the reliability of the dealership. Because, really, is there such a thing?
I'm not too worried about our car being a flood victim of New Orleans. Besides, I have roadside assistance, included because it's a Certified Vehicle, until some time in 2013. I'll just start calling them every day, if I have trouble with that kind of thing, until Toyota begs me to give them their car back.
It's an awesome car and I noticed that I don't smell the stink after I've been driving around in it for awhile. However, if I start walking into people's homes and they say "Do you smell those car pinetree air fresheners?" I'm going to be a bit upset and take down a dealership.
Today I'm going to spray the sucker down with Febreeze, sprinkle baking soda on the floor and put a tray of kitty litter (fresh) in the cargo area.
Apparently there is no Stink Law that says I can return it due to overpowering pine scent. Someone needs to lobby this one.
Time to run to the grocery store for baking soda! Wheeeee! Grocery store the day before Thanksgiving before the old people are napping!! Wish me luck!
Also, this afternoon I'll be performing Bubble Therapy on the kitty without the assistance of a vetrinary tech at my side. Wish me and the kitty a quick and painless saline injection.
