                          The Return of Lake Lumina

Earlier in the day the dealership [1] called to say my car was ready. I
informed them that I needed to be picked up and they said they would call
back when a driver was available. I was getting worried when five o'clock was
rolling around and they hadn't called back yet. I asked Rob [2] if he would
take me if they didn't call by say, a quarter past five.

He agreed, only to have the dealership call almost immediately afterwards for
directions to the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere. Half an hour later I was
sitting in the curtesy van, listening to the driver talk about the lack of
quality workmanship in today's world.

Lake Lumina was ready and although it was a bit more than I was expecting
(since they did quite a bit of work to bring it back up to spec) the major
problem didn't cost me anything since it was still covered by the warranty
[3].
