A little humor for you Kurt A few weeks ago I bought a 2003 Nissan Altima specifically so I could get to Geekdom in San Antonio. Had it a week and last sunday I was driving to San Antonio to see where the building was at so I would know where to go next week, and it broke down.
I had purchased the extended warranty just in case, and when I called them, they were going to leave me stranded on the side of the road, but they were willing to tow my car to a repair shop in boerne. Was I ticked? You Betcha. So yes, I've been where you've been and I'm more than happy to help when I can. Still haven't made it to geekdom yet as they're still talking mechanic to warranty to get approval, so it might be another week or two..
