Re: Dealing with recalls
Approximately 10/8/03 13:16, TJim uttered for posterity:
> Hmmm... That kinda seems like the beginnings of a trend, doesn't it...
> What's Hulk Hogan doing these days? Is Lou Ferigno (sp?) still alive?
> There are lots of states left...
>
Hulk Hogan was spotted at the Colts/Tampa game in the audience
by one of the cameras recently. Lou Ferrigno is also still
alive, but not doing much hulkwork these days.
Self would prefer someone like Raider Bill Romanowski, who may
be looking for a new career if his concussions don't improve.

Re: Dealing with recalls
I understand and know how it works, and I also understand that I'm not
going to get the red carpet treatment. But that comment and attitude
was way out of line.
I also know they were'nt refusing me, just discouraging me. Which
they did successfully.
When I was looking for a new vehicle, or when the jeeper needed any
work done, or when I started working on it myself and needed parts, I
thought of that quote.
I have had the jeep for 10 years now, and spent alot of money over the
years on repairs and parts (I live where rust is the state color).
They got zippo of my money.
