Not sure if you guys remember, but I posted about some jerk that hit my car in the parking lot and left me with the bill. It happened around the beginning of December (still don't have my car back). The damage ended up costing about $3,700.

Yep I remember. Tough to beleive that happened in a parking lot! Hope all is back together now.

The very next weekend I went to Ruidoso, NM despite my bad luck with the car. Can't let something like this get me TOO far down. New Mexico was fun...I took home some battle scars because I had never snowboarded before. I don't have pictures of the battle scar, I didn't have much film left after taking pictures of the car.

At about 9,500 feet above sea level

This is my friend's killer dachsund, Nina. The top picture is Nina in search of prey. Her diet consists mostly of house cats, small children, and grass.


The bottom picture is Nina just before she assaulted me. She pounced me.

more pictures of Ruidosa. This is at about 7000 feet. The road winds a long ways up until you hit this valley where the ski lodge is located. Then the easier slopes you can see here, and the rest are behind the large hill.

oh yea, that bottom picture is me coming down the gondola ride from the top of the hill in the first picture. Something like that. If you look closely, you can see that ski lodge. Looks pretty small from that far up

cool pics thanks for sharing them.

Next time you are in Ruidoso or the area let me know. I live in Alamogordo. Would die if that damage happened to me and I had to pay for it.

wow...those taillights held up, huh?

I hate this

Well I was scheduled to pick up my car today, but I was told they flooded my car. I'm really ticked off now, I gave instructions on how to avoid flooding to the manager before handing over my car, yet they flood it anyways. So I had to call roadside assistance to haul my car from the body shop to a mazda dealership. I'm so angry right now words don't do it justice. I was told 3-4 weeks, I knew better than that. Then I was told last friday. Then tuesday. Then thursday. Now only god knows when I'll get my F*CKING CAR BACK. HOW THE HELL DO YOU FLOOD A CAR WHEN A NOTE ON THE WINDOW TELLS YOU HOW TO NOT FLOOD IT. Incompetent morons. I guess literacy was not on the job application.

That sucks... At least did you get to see the body repaired??

You should have put the note on the steering wheel. Sorry about your probs. Hopefully your car will be as good as new.

I wasn't even there for roadside service, Texas 8. I was informed while at work, so MRA showed up at the body shop.

It should'nt take Mazda long to get your car done. Hope you get it soon like tomorrow.

I'm in the middle of a big cluster f***. Now the dealership is trying to charge $250 to unflood the engine claiming that it isn't covered under warranty because "somebody flipped the spark plugs around". I have no idea what that means, something about a hot and cold spark plug being backwards. All I know is I don't have the technical expertise to do such a thing, and I don't know why in the hell the body shop would switch the plugs around. Any advice? I have a feeling the dealership is trying to weasel some money out of the body shop. I'm so sick of all this.

sorry to hear that dude :(

holey crap.. that dude is lucky he fled, cuz I bet you wouldnt tore him a new one right there.

Call Mazda corporate and complain. Sometimes that gets results. The dealership is jerking you around.

i'm guessing they tried to fix the flood and inadvertantly switched the spark plugs? that's my guess...well sucks that this happened...sorry man

if you edit those fotos to just the nice ones, it would look like you're having a good time.
