We still haven't washed Holly's truck since we got it, it's got just shy of 12k on it now
The truck had a bad hub on the LF, so it got replaced yesterday, along with the rear bowtie emblem that was falling off, oh and a leaking OnStar antenna replaced.
Took the scoob in yesterday; a semi tire blew in front of me on my way home from Chicago last week and i couldn't avoid running over the pieces. :/ No real damage except to the front bumper cover, in the same spot that was scraped. Not visible, so not fixing it. Pfew.
Also, it makes a weird squeak the first time i hit the brakes in reverse, and then the first time when i start going forward again. They took the wheels off and discovered the source -- the brake pads shift ever so slightly when the wheels change direction, and the squeak is them moving over the pins that hold them in place. They said they haven't seen it before, but that there's no cause for concern. What do you think? Seems to me that brake components shouldn't move...
so then i'll wait until the pads are gone and then raise hell.
Actually, and I didn't believe this either, but pads/rotors are NOT considered consumables and therefore are warrantied! I guess, on a lease in particular, they don't want people putting off replacing brakes because they're just giving the car back and then wrapping it around a tree. Score!
haha Anthony, you've got nothing to worry about. You mean you couldn't diagnose a one-off problem-but-not-really-a-problem when I texted you one time about it like four months ago, and you've never heard the problem yourself?
I appreciate all the help you offered getting me hipped up to the car before I bought it. You're the man!
