oops

pulled in for some gas, hit a patch of ice, the ABS kicked in but I couldn't avoid a high curb and the front left went right over. Had to call my new extended Warranty company to get their road side assistance to get me off the curb. Wheels were spinning. Tow guy arrived in five minutes and pulled me backwards with the winch. Nice curb rash.
Now I'm at the dealer because the alignment is off, $150. They replaced the parking switch that was keeping my top from retracting $125 (part $4). They are doing a top down inspection $90 since my New Jersey mandated used car 6 month powertrain warranty expires in may. Total wallet damage approx $400.

Well I have to say this is the nicest service dealership I have ever been in (Ray Catena Mercedez, Porsche, Lexus, Aston Martin, Maserati, Lexus, Infiniti). They have 7 internet stations with these nifty Sony Vaios. A pool table, Plasma TV, Another room with a 60 inch LCD, A kitchen with free drinks, sandwiches and brownies, An 2005 SLK AMG in the middle of it all, and two brand new black Aston Martin Vantage and 997(with ugly headlights) right behind me. Most importantly the cleanest marble-floored restroom I've seen in years. Been here for 5 hours.

Each customer is assigned a service rep who comes out to give you an update and let's you knlow when the car is done. And they wash your car
