105,005 mile service

just this week prestige is starting to stay open to 21:00, so i set up my oil change for 19:00 and took in a chapman coupon from the chrysler website (and an older chapman coupon that said they'd match prices).  everything went smoothly (with the minorly annoy wrinkle of having to deal with an upselling service writer ... i've dealt with this guy before).  fortunately my service guy was from last time was standing right there  (and he remembered me ... which is kind of amazing) and helped smooth things over.

oil change and tires rotated.  i think my right front wheel bearing is starting to go, but i didn't say anything about it ... neither did they.

quote of the moment

"The University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute found that from 1983 to 2008 the percentage of 19-year-olds with a driver's license fell from 87.3 percent to 75.5 percent. Two years later it hit 69.5 percent."
