...at least for middle aged white guys, maybe someone prettier than me could get one but I had no luck at all. I took it in for the master cylinder TSB, new keys and hopefully, a left headlight but I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I picked up the roof rack kit as well.

Sewell before lunch, not too bad, it's a mad house in the afternoons...



Freshly washed 330 coming down the line...

Carver, you should have worn a skirt or something I had both of my headlights changed under the basic warranty. And that was long before I came here to find out about it. My dealer looks the same all the time with people coming and going. It's like musical cars.

Yes, but there have been reports of kindly dealers every so often.

...wear a skirt...
I can assure you Miz Anita the sight of me in a skirt would not charm anyone into giving me a headlight although they might have just to get rid of me.

They let dogs roam free in the dealership? LOL.

Totally unrelated, how do you find those EnVigors?

Oh well, I though it might be worth a shot Since the dealer allows dogs, maybe you can bring in a nice puppy that smiles widely every time your SA says something you don't like instead

Any luck on getting the roof rack removed yet?

We were doing some squirrel hunting out back by the loan car stand and the dogs were doing the retrievals.

The Envigors are superb rain tires which is a big deal here but I think there are better snow tires.




...no squirrels were harmed in the making of this post...

I'm taking it to JP Imports next week for a stem to stern fluff job. Detail, change all the fluids, take the rack off, install a new left headlight, anything they can find will be repaired.

Hopefully, I can relax after that and start planning mods!

Fluffing or fluffer can mean:

Fluffing is a hairdressing and makeup term. Fluffers were originally those who touched up an actress's hair and makeup during a shoot

Here in Texas when our ladies come out of the boots and jeans and into dresses and makeup we say they got "fluffed up". It's a natural extension of the language to say my sweet 330 is getting a fluff as it is being beautified as well.

I am aware the pervs on the left coast have bastardized the term to fit one of the more common job descriptions their citizens engage in but I can assure you it has little to do with my 330.
