more ugh...

The good news is that the air compressor in my Nissan went belly-up due to a manufacturer defect...or whatever it was that caused it to roll over and die before its time. Thus, I have been spared the expense of the inspection to determine whether or not I'd have to PAY for the inspection, plus the problem itself is covered under warranty. The bad news is that this truck used a quarter-tank of gasoline just driving from the dealership home and back again.
The good news is that the rental agent was a sweetheart and in act of kindness due to my rather unenviable situation, waived the gasoline charge. Considering the size of the truck (and thus, the gas tank) and the price of gasoline, that was a very nice thing to do. Thank you, Carlos.
I was shuttled to the dealership, waited around another hour or so, and was informed that they did not have the part for my car and they would have to order it. Nice. So now I was gas-guzzling truckless and my car was still out of commission.
Well, not quite.
It is still driveable; it is just an overly-warm but driveable car. Now I have to wait for the part to arrive next week, and I will have to set yet another appointment to have the part installed.
I'm beginning to feel ill.
