Here's my idea - if you didn't break it then it should be covered by warrenty. Call road-side assistance, get it towed to the dealer, have a friend or family member take you to the dealer to pick up a loaner car.

Here's a 2nd idea (buy one, get one free today) If you think the dealer gives you a b.s. story type it up here (with some detail) for feedback.

At least this means there is no hurry for him to get a supercharger or turbocharger and no need to worry about his radar detector being illegal in VA.
