OK its all good as new. But the wait for the car was terrible. I didnt have anything to do while I waited I was so bored. So the Nice girl at the service desk said he go bug this one salesman for me. Sweet im good at bugging people. (um my Type R is a muscle car anyone?) LOL. So off to the sales floor I go and find my target now I just need something to start giving him a hard time about.....Bingo found it.

Holy hell Batman. those mark up prices. 199.00 for nitro fill ??? what the fresh hell. We wont even start on the other items. So I go and find him and i point out that cosco nitro fills for free and so do a number of places and no joke i asked him to take a deep breath. He did LOL. Then I said im gonna have to charge you 50 dollars for that nitro fill I gave you seeing how air is 78% nitro. LOL. He was not amused . I gave him hell about the entire add on list. I said there is about 300 bucks tops of stuff there and yall charging roughly 2200.00 for junk. So log story short I had him sweating. but I let him off and told him service girl asked me to do it.

So anyway cars done new calipers on. Got dealer to put full ceramic pads on while they were at it for free. I bought pads they put on free. Now to clean those mothers from that dust from the oem pads. Oh and after 2 years My oem pads weren't half bad still . I kept them.

Regarding the nitrogen fill, if you buy a car from any Hendrick Honda you get free refills for the ownership of the car. It's still a rip in my opinion but figured I would share .Too bad I live 400 miles from the closest one.

Man, I want that advertising tent thing. I saw one at my dealership and asked if they could put my name on it. I guess they didn't like me cause they never called me about it and it was gone last time I was there :(
