Replace A/C compressor o-rings and put a little bit of gasket maker around the fittings that bolt to the compressor housing because engine oil was leaking in between the two. Also patch a past exhaust leak.
The new car was in Tennessee as of yesterday and still on track to be delivered Tuesday.

I can't either, haha.
And thanks. That was done in Google Sketchup which kind of sucks for this type of project. I just found "TurboCAD v7.0" that my dad gave me a couple years ago, but I'm quite a noob at this type of program and I'm sure what I'm trying to do can be done in like 2 steps instead of the 3,000 I'm doing, hahaha.

Car will be here tonight between 9:30-10:00. I'm glad it's getting here a little early, but I never got my 24 hour call to let me know. Because of that, I don't have the money ready and I might be stuck at work. I'll have to pay my parents back tomorrow as they'll be the ones paying the remainder of my shipping fee.
The communication with this company has officially pissed me off and they are a neutral (at best) review. Had I received the communication I was promised, this wouldn't be a problem.
On the lighter side of things, be ready for a new thread with updates about the JDM Protege starting tomorrow morning.

Will do
Of course, it's just one problem after another with my luck. Murphy's Law if you wish to call it that. I was able to get out of work an hour early to see the delivery, but apparently my parents got a call from the driver at 8:30 saying his truck broke down. He had oil in his coolant and had to turn around to bring it to a shop. This is bull****. On top of that, he said someone brought him the car and he was supposed to deliver it to me. I was NEVER told there would be two drivers. Also, I was told the driver would be "Ground Force One" which I thought at first to be a code name for one of their trucks since they supposedly own their trucks which is why you should ship with them instead of a broker, blah blah blah. Well according to http://www.transportreviews.com/comp...-force-one.asp "Ground Force One" is a separate company and has horrible reviews. I wish I had looked this up sooner, but my interest wasn't sparked until I learned about the second driver. According to those reviews, everyone experienced "truck breakdowns" which are "a part of life." From all the horrible reviews, it seems like quite a ****ing coincidence that their trucks "breakdown" so often.
If I knew what "mechanic shop" this thing was at, I'd drive right down there and get my car in person. This is beyond irresponsible on both Stateway and Ground Force One and whoever the second ****ing driver belonged to. I never got the 24 hour notice call from the driver like I was supposed to, either. I called the driver when I got home and he said He'd have the truck in the shop at 6:00 am. Well, guess what time Mr. Driver is getting called tomorrow. I will also (hopefully) figure out what shop it is at and call them as well to make sure his story checks out.
I should have just flown down and drove back like I wanted to at first, but couldn't get the time off of work to do so. If you couldn't tell, I am way beyond pissed right now. If I don't get my car by the time he promised ("maybe tomorrow or Wednesday") then I'll be filing reports with the FTC, Attorney General and whoever else can put this scum of a company away.
/rant for now
