wow
is all i can say. after years of putting up with my clicky blinker, i went last weekend and got it fixed. the clicking didn’t annoy me so much, but it annoyed everyone who drove with me, and really annoyed nate. and when it started dinging, then i got annoyed also. i thought it was under a recall, but after two trips and $25 to a chevy dealer and a conversation with GM customer care, it was determined that even though my blinker is faulty and the blinkers will come on unexpectedly and the turn signal switch will eventually die, it was not the part under recall. needless to say, GM has a real racket going on.
so i went to tires plus and had them fix my blinker, and while i was there i had new struts put on the front, since for the past year or so they’ve been telling me i need new struts. my car did need them. the struts squeaked and creaked every time i went over a bump. four hours and $700 later, my car is….silent. ah, silent bliss. i didn’t realize how bad my struts were, and i kind of regret not doing the rear ones as well!
