I hear you, Sharon. The car is so scarce in my parts that I don't think the thieves would know what to do with it? I know they'd certainly have a hard time figuring out some of the features...dropping the top...etc...

Hope you'll be getting some resolution with your car at the new dealership. Totally crazy that they would hold your car hostage over having you take it elsewhere for some more expert help. That is ridiculous. Are these dealerships so competitive that they can't see the problems it causes the car's owner? You most definitely should be compensated for all your troubles...say free gas, oil changes...service...etc...ONCE they permanently fix your car and it's running correctly. Anything less would not be fair.

I've been driving relatives around town and have had to keep my "baby" in the garage for several weeks. Hard to squeeze two children and their mother into my roadster! So, I'm happy to be back behind the wheel. It needs a good washing and some TLC...and now the weather has turned cloudy and cool...darn!
