My Impala
Well today was my day to take the car to the dealer for repairs. I have a 2003 Chevy Impala. The rotors rusted to the point that they couldn't even be machined, they had to be replaced, First the rear with less then 15000 miles on it, then the front with less then 20000 miles on it. Now I know things can go wrong with any new car, I could live with that. What I didn't like was GM wanted me to pay for this. They called it normal wear and said that normal wear is not covered under the warranty. After a lot of aggravation and many phone calls, my dealer talked to his GM rep, and they agreed to cover it.
FYI-- After talking with other Chevy owners I have found this to be a common problem with a lot of Impala sedans as well as on some Chevy 1500 series two and four wheel pickups. Apparently General Motors has seen fit to make the rotors for these vehicles
out of recycled tuna fish cans. This was my first new GM car and it will be my last.
OK, That's the end of my ranting. Let's move on to something a little more serious.
Allow me to take you back in time, way back, back to a time and place in yesteryear.
Not really, but at least back four or five yesterdays ago. Because I can't think of anything else to write about I will expand on the neck-breathing thing. Some dos and don’ts and can and can nots for the new inexperience neck breathers and all those smokers out there that are looking forward to becoming neck breathers.
You can chew bubble gum, but you can't blow bubbles.
You can't whistle, not even while you work. That's why I quit, work that is.
You can take a shower, but don't, face the showerhead and put your head back before stepping into the shower stream to rinse the soap off your face.. Unless you want to find out what it's like to drown without actually jumping into a lake.
You can sleep under the blankets but if you get chilly don't pull the blankets up around your neck. You won't suffocate but you will wakeup, quick! With your arms and legs trashing in the air when you start to inhale one of your blankets.
You can't blow a whistle or blow on your soup. That's just a few of the things you should know as a neck breather. I will cover more later, at a time when I have nothing else to write. This is me saying good by, to you..
