Mustang Mods

This is suppose to be the post where I show you the cool new modifications I have had done to Sally in honor of her First Birthday.... (Not you, Sally) My Little Pony, Sally....

Sorry, this post will have to be cancelled due to circumstances beyond my control...

Now I will partake in a moment of silence where I will thrash about wildly out of control in a massive hissy fit.













Okay, let me just back up a few weeks and start at the beginning.

I had a decent experience with having my windows tinted and when contemplating the racing stripe scenario, I decided to let the same establishment handle this mod as well... They did a good job, on the tint!!

I had set up my appointment to have the stripes applied. The price quoted to me originally included the stripe kit.. A few days later I phoned in to see if the order could be cancelled because I had found a quality kit at a reduction of the price... The receptionist took my message and assured me someone would call back and confirm the cancellation...

No one ever returned my call...Then I called back to confirm the appointment was still scheduled.. (I was having this done 4 hours away and needed everything to be confirmed before I made the drive). The receptionist did confirm I was still on the schedule for Friday the 6th.

A few days later, I noticed that there was still no charge on my credit card... So, I once again called to confirm who would be supplying the stripes... Still no return call.... At this point, I ASSUMED that the original plan of action was still in place because my suggested changes had not been confirmed...

So, Thursday the 5th I arrived home from working with only 2 hours to prepare for my excursion over to the Rocket City... I managed to get very little done before hopping into the car to head over to Bama. I arrived in time to drop off the car before they closed up shop (that way they could get started on it early).

Friday was spent in anticipation of the phone call saying that they were done and I could come check her out.

BUT AT 3:30 I received a voice mail that has led to my detriment.... (I don't get good phone reception here in The Hollow) "Miss Terry......... cant find the kit..........started early...........call us............where are the..........."

My blood began to boil.... Surely that is not what I think she said!!!!!

I called to confirm the message..... YEP!! NO STRIPES TODAY, boys and girls...

I had Mama Bear drive me over to pick up Sally!! I told Br-Baby that I wanted to cry and she willingly joined in with her little version of fake tears....

After all the rushing I had done to get over here! AAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Upon arrival at the accessory shop, I was gingerly greeted in anticipation of the anger they were sure I was going to sling at them...

The owner assumed full responsibility of the situation and offered to make it up to me... He was adamant that "Sorry" was not good enough.. He asked if I would be willing to reschedule and he would extend to me a very generous discount...

I politely explained that I was going to look for someone a little closer to home to apply the stripes. (I drove 4 hours for this)

So he continued with "If you ever need anything else done, just let me know, I need to make this up to you!"

DING DING DING........

Okay, how about retinting my door glass... I was planning to have this done, due to the number of scratches that have accumulated...You can read about that here....

So now, I am sitting back in the Hollow and my windows are being retinted absolutely free of charge... Should be done in about an hour....

I am still a little upset about this but, here is the silver lining.

I am getting my windows retinted , and while I was enraged over the lack of communication that had transpired, a buddy of mine called asking how the stripes turned out. When I told him, what had happened he immediately stepped up to the plate, offering up a deal I could not refuse.... I will post that at a later date....
