Caught In The Whirlwind
Why Won't You Open?!?
I had a little bit of car related difficulty today. When I went home for lunch I tried to open my car door and it wouldn't open. After double checking to see if it was locked (it wasn't) I noticed that the handle was a little looser than it should be. Bah!
I think it's probably because it got really cold here for the first time this year. Something probably couldn't take it and broke. So I have an appointment tomorrow morning to take my car in to the dealer so they can look at it. I *think* this would be a waranty repair because it's not like I did anything to it except for opening and closing the door normally. And if it's not I'm going to argue with them about it because it should be… I mean, the car is a year old at this point. the door handle should be in working condition!
This comes on the heels of taking it into the body shop to have some cosmetic work done. I had a bit of a run-in with a dumpster while backing out of a parking space a couple weeks ago. It wasn't huge, but there was a dent and the paint was broken, so I had to go fix it otherwise it would have rusted out. I just got it back from the shop on friday and the repair job came out really nice. It's like a brand new car again, so I'm being all protective of it again, even though there's a few paint chips here and there in a couple places. Darn cheap paint job…

I would be shocked if that isn't covered – shocked. I'm not really sure how the cold would effect it though, let's hope its not a flaw that might come up next winter too…I need to get some touch up done on my paint job too – luckily I haven't hit anything but there are dings here and there.

It was fine last winter. Might have been something lose and the cold caused it to contract and it snapped. I dunno. It was about 26F here today, so well below freezing.I'd be shocked if it wasn't covered too.
