Also, I kinda expect the ridiculasly expensive pricing for simple crap. What surprises me is the variation from dealership to dealership in such a small area. I'd have expected more "German" regulation of such things.

Farking neighbor keeps letting her horse of a dog crap in our yard. I've posted a notice today. She has 3 days to clean up the yard or I'm calling animal control to make a formal complaint.

why can't people just do their goddamn jobs instead of ignoring everything until it churns into a super-shit-storm of angry clients? these things can be avoided if you just read your f***ing email

so far that would apply to BMW & Porsche when my Porsche guy was out a few weeks - the Audi Jag people subbed for him - they also sucked.
