The gas tank in my Crossfire doesn't seem to be venting because every time I put gas into it the nozzle shuts off after a few drops are pumped. This problem started about 4 months ago and the car has been to the dealer several times. The dealer has been stumped for a solution and has requested help from a Chrysler field engineer. Unfortunately I was told that it may be up to eight weeks before an engineer can make it to San Diego. I called my service manager today for an update after waiting a month, only to be told that he no longer works at the dealership. I left my name, number, and a description of my problem with his replacement, but she (yes, a woman) has not called back. Not an encouraging start here. Guess I'll stop by the dealership tomorrow after work to find out what's up.

But there is even worse news concerning my car. After pulling into work this morning I noticed my cup holder proudly deployed like it OD on Viagra.

I always considered my Spirit as unreliable but after a year and a half of problems with the Crossfire, I now know what unreliability really is. Maybe I should be taking my car to a priest...
