    Default how would you feel? what would you do? car rant...

    Okay, so one of my good friends is a baller like Ruiner....has lots of nice stuff, and money is never a object for him.

    he purchased a 2005 BMW M3 Vert, he also went ahead and got the 19 wheel package option and when asked what he wanted to do with the 18's and tires...he ended up just GIVING them to one of the tech's that was just randomly standing outside. Anyways, after about 1000miles he noticed that there was a wierd rattle coming from the rear of the car above 85mph...so he takes it into the dealership and I went with him because I was his ride back to work....and when he went in to do the paper work he asked me to grab some of his CD's, so I get into the car and just happen to notice the odo @ 1066miles...well a few days later he gets the car back, apparently the rear convertible assembly area was a little loose so they tightened it back up...and I just happened to ask how many miles are on the car (currently when he was leaving) and he said "1400", I was like WTF! how the hell do you put on 400 miles on a brand new car to listen to a rattle?? I would feel that 100miles would be PLENTY. Anyways, he doesnt care....now if it was my car and I barely had 1000miles on it, I'd be god damn pissed to see it had a extra 400 miles on it! Plus, who the fuck knows how much they were ragging out your car within those 400miles....2 days, 400miles....it makes you wonder....I just know I'd be pissed as all hell and demand a explanation of EVERY mile after 100.....50miles to find rattle, 50 miles to recheck....that's all that is neeeded!

    The most I ever put on a car when trying to figure out a rattle was 50 and we had the Escalade for a week.

    I told him, they took that thing home with them, and just beat the shit out of it for 2 straight days....but he kinda acts like it didnt happen, and that just pisses the shit out of me, because it's a brand new fucking car.

    Global Imports off of 285, if we were closer, I'd seriously take the keys from him and grab the paperwork with the mileage in and mileage out shown and fucking start with my shit storm.

    ahh, this is your "questionable" friend right?

    i'd raise hell, shit i think 50 miles is excessive for finding a rattle in MOST cases, especially in this one.

    I dont think that he is stupid, I just think it's the fact that he doesnt care about money or personal possesion so much...I mean, he spent 3k on a kayak and he's only been once, he's got two road bikes that run up a tab of over 4k....along with the M3, he just bought a Land Rover Discovery and put a 6in suspension lift on it....I dunno....sometimes it just pisses me off on the money he spends and just doesnt care what happens to it...
