Finally Home!! home stretch to the finish
Well I figured I'd finally post some positive news from the front lines. The ole' girl is home now after a rather drwn out yelling match at the dealership yesterday and alot of useless running around...... the beast was trailered home with some rather unique advertising and I received a tremendous response from the decals I put on before I left teh dealership, and have made some new friends that share the same dissatisfaction towards Eastside Dodge.
I share with you some pics: The car will be towed up to Edmonton on Thursday where we will part ways and a new beast will fill her shoes. THe dealership in Edmonton has been by far SUPERIOR in service and have gone to great lengths to truly make my fiance and I feel appreciated as customers. And the dealership put all of this together in less than a week, just time for our wedding this Saturday. Capital Dodge has really made things right and helped ease the frustration.

I've been following your saga for some time and I really feel bad for you and all you've had to endure. On a more pleasant note, congratulations to you and your bride. I'll remember I wasn't invited. ;-)

^ thanks man, just tied the knot yesterday, it was a small wedding, her Grandmother sin't fairing too well, and we felt she should at least let her enjoy her seeing us married before she passes.
But as for the car, that drama is over, we sat in eth new car at the dealership on Thursday, wasn't enough time to get all the stuff we needed done. The car comes home Saturday.....
we are planning on a bigger reception for all family and friends come the new year. we'll get you on the invite list RRunner.

Congrats on your wedding, CC. It's a pity, though, that you had to go to these lengths with the Challenger. It just shows that those of us who haven't had problems with our cars should feel very lucky indeed.

^ very true Ros, but for every bad event there is always a pay off, we brought home the new car yesterday... man I have to say I am surprised and impressed.
what we found:
A SPARE tire.. yes.... an actual spare tire, Chrysler finally listening to their consumers??? I almost fell over, apparently this is standard in all models with 17/18" moving forward, no spare in SRT lines, just the runflats and goop.
the new car has a slap shift, no more 1 & 2 gear markings, just P, R, +D- so that was cool but the gear column looks plain.
but so far so good, the car got us home safely, no breakdowns so that was a plus. So we embark on a new journey with the new car.
