Hey,
I think I know you. I used to live over by Alma School and Ray Rd.
You used to have a Black Gen I with a vortech, and then there was an annoying Dodge Dakota that had your company logo on the windshield, too. I remember that I liked the L, but whoever drove the Dakota needed a serious a$$ whoopin' many times over. I lived just three blocks over. My brother and I had a few late model mustangs. He speaks highly of your shop, I just haven't had the time to visit. Perhaps I'll come down there with him and we'll talk some.
BTW- If I can ever get my L back from Berge- I'm in for the 7th.
Later,

Yea, That was me ya'll raced that night.
I remember two things really. . .I remember that the big black truck was pretty damn fast, and I remember that the dude in the back seat was pretty damn drunk. Who was that? After I turned I remember thinking what the hell did that guy do to that thing to make such a big truck so quick. . .and what a pitty it would be if that dude puked inside such a cool truck. Was the Dakota that fast? I remember racing that thing in a '95 T-bird and pretty much cleaning him up. Although my ears were bloody from the open headers that dude ran. Perhaps I'm thinking of someone else.
So if you see me again, please pull me over and we'll talk.
BADBOLT2- Man, I am BEYOND pissed at Berge. I know more than the damn service tech did about this truck. Bob the service manager was a complete waste of time. His idea of going above and beyond was giving me a rental Focus after he had already had my L for 8 days. I'm angry and bitter, and I have good reason to be. But it wasn't your fault, and today I finally got my truck back. After I (yes I) fixed it. . .runs good as new. Javier C. was my service advisor, maybe he can fill you in- if he remembers anything about my truck even being there. He doesn't know about the vacuum lines that the service tech laid across the EGR tube that melted apart, though. That was another thing I had to fix yesterday. Oh well. This experience, bad as it was, wasn't as bad as the service manager from Earnhardts that called me and asked if he could take my truck home over the weekend for 'diagnostic verifications', though. My faith in dealrships dwendles daily. I should have dealt with you, brother.

Monday my '01 is going in for:
1. Transmission problems (there is a TSB on this)
2. The front end clunk
3. It sputtured and puked all the way home last night. Bad MAF? Going in for this too.
Of course I was reminded of the term "Fix Or Repair Daily" by a fellow Ford owner.
I'm going to Lou Grubb, let's see if i can get good service at a dealer around here!!!!!!!!!
