Well courtesy cars fall under the same treatment, so i don't want to pay for a courtesy car for people to bomb around in and generally not give a gently caress about. You see how they treat their own cars, they'll be even less caring and mechanically-sympathetic to one they don't own. I must be the polar opposite of that... I get on quite well with the dealer I bought my motorbike from (they've only got 5 staff), and last time I dropped it off for a service, I got their shitheap of a loan bike, took it home, and killed a few hours washing it, cutting all the scratches out of the paint, polishing it, and waxing it. I also replaced several blown globes, polished the windscreen and instrument cluster faces, adjusted and lubed the chain, and adjusted the clutch. Got it back there and they nearly fell over. Couldn't believe it was the same bike... As a result, the owner has told me that I have the pick of their demonstrator bikes as a loaner next time mine is in there, and I got a bunch of small parts I needed for free. Swings and roundabouts, I suppose. Ferremit posted:This is about the worst we have in Adelaide: I lived in Adelaide for about 18 months and loving hated that roundabout. The first time I drove through it, I was relieved that I got through OK and while making a mental note to avoid it in the future, I promptly t-boned a car (in my then-partner's R34 Skyline GT-R, no less) that pulled out of one of the side streets on Fullarton Rd without stopping. Now I live in Perth, and stare in amazement at the insane tailgating that goes on... Bass Ackwards fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Sep 17, 2013 |
