4. XM in my car
I got 3 months free with my new car. But the dealer took my credit card info and (supposedly) set up my account to kick in when my free time expired. I think it got shut off today. And it hasn't been 3 months yet!!

16. I figure they will give me something free for my troubles
I love car dealers. They kiss my ass. I already have free oil changes. I figure maybe another free 3 months of XM.

19. Free oil changes
I wouldn't put the shit from the 55 gal drum in my lawn mower. Usually the cheapest per GALLON priced crap Shell or Quaker state offers. Like $2 a GALLON. And $1.25 Wix oil filters. HOPING that that magic bullet of dirt gets in so you spin a bearing or sludge up the oil passages in 10000 miles like the Volkswagens do.

20. I don't have to pay for any repairs either
I am telling you - they like me. I have free maintenance and oil changes for as long as I own the car. It's a cool car too.

8. Oooooooohhhhh...that kind of "went out".
Yeah, I've found XM's customer service to be really helpful. Maybe a quick phone call combined with a swift kick to your dealer's ass will correct the problem.

11. I just kicked the dealer's ass in an email
I am hoping they will call me before I have to call them. They PROMISED my service would NOT be interrupted when my free time expired. And it shouldn't have expired yet.

17. I am looking forward to it
It's actually a pretty good dealer. I have bought cars there for YEARS. They like me.

As soon as I get this radio deal settled, I am going to hit them up to move my cruise control knob. I am too short to see it - it's behind the steering wheel. Dumb design.

And you better have your homework done.

Hey I sent a kid home today! By the time Mom arrived to pick him up, he was putty in my hands. Little shit. He'll never throw any food in the cafeteria again.

I was a major smart ass with him. He is new. I told him they may have thrown food where he came from and he may even do it at home but he isn't doing that on MY watch. Little shit. :)
