I think you picked the wrong month to quit tokin'
Yeah, I've had that feeling a lot lately too.
It's weird too, I didn't have that much of an issue with the refurbed ones actually...but my wife did, and I knew when I signed on long ago that sometimes my wife's battles would be mine...
...but this is just fricking RIDICULOUS!!!!
I actually totally lost it on the phone this morning with some poor insurance adjuster. I wasn't even aware of how pissed I was until my wife came up behind me and tentatively laid a hand on my shoulder and whispered,
"John, you're shouting at the top of your lungs and sound VERY angry!", that I realized I was screaming at the guy.
Then he got his manager on the line and I proceeded to repeat my performance in the face of condescending adversity...
After a rather unsatisfactory conclusion to my negotiations with State Farm I called up Nissan to find out just where in the hell they found a stock tire for $800 when it took me ten minutes to google up one for $345? Nissan dealer only deals thru Nissan parts, unless the insurance company specifies otherwise...
Insurance company won't cover two $800 wheels, we're not comfortable/satisfied with them repairing our or replacing them with refurbs due to balance issues and troubles that could lead to with alignment problems....impasse.
Then I find out that the nice lady at the Nissan dealership had NOT went ahead and ordered all the rest of the parts like I had asked her last Thursday, she was waiting for State Farm to get back to her about the wheels first.
So this Saturday it'll be 3 weeks since the car has been in the shop and they have done absolutely NOTHING so far on it but to piss me off.
My wife felt extremely sympathetic/sorry for me and agrees they're all being asshats, so she's going out to play "good cop" to our insurance agent and the Nissan dealer before we stop doing business with 'em.
Fuck it, I'll tow the bloody Z to the family garage down the street from me...at least they seem to give a damn about the customers there!
