Took the beast to Dodge today - no other damage thank god. Discount is paying for everything that is visably messed up with the brake system, and they will also have to pay for any damage that they find later on if any. Also, since I was so "nice" to them, they gave me a new set of tires, how nice of them. I think I scared the guy so much, he probably would have given me the shop just so I would calm down. !!!

Just be glad you didn't get you oil changed at Wal-Mart. I've heard a couple of people have had their Oil Filters blow of and Wal-Mart buying new engines and having them put it by real mechanics. The people that change oil at Wal-Mart aren’t certified mechanics. But mistakes do happen, it just sucks when they happen to you. Sorry about that.

Thats like the kid in the wheelchair I went to autbody class with telling me the best oil in the world is Walmart SuperTech, I just dont know it yet. So I asked him why formula cars and nascar drivers dont use it, and he told me they did.

He bet my friend Rick (Kotu100) 100 dollars that if he put it in his SRT he would absolutely love it. Needless to say I changed Rick's oil at the 3,000 mark with the Walmart super tech in there, and I've never seen oil so black, and so clumpy....in all my life.

Yeah its the **** alright!

*true story*
