Yay, my car is ready.

I'm not actually going to go get it until after work, but it's ready. One free recall servicing. In theory, in rare circumstances, my car could have spontaneously combusted. (Or, as they put it, "In some of the affected vehicles it is possible for the engine cooling fan bearing to seize. Should this occur, excessive heat may be generated which could melt the fan motor electrical connector. Under certain high temperature conditions, components inside the cooling fan motor may ignite potentially resulting in an underhood fire." I like my phrasing better, but that's probably because I'm weird. :)

Service: inspection; addition of circuit breaker; free replacement of fan and motor assembly if inoperative. Additional coverage: warranty extending to a total of 8 years or 100,000 miles, on the engine cooling fan motor.

Got my oil changed at the same time (might as well, the car was going to be there hours longer than they needed it - as witness it's all done and I won't be heading over there for probably another 4 hours or so).

This is *way above* my progress re the Ford Escort, and you don't even have to forward the recall notices!

Bet this isn't too anonymous...

Reminds me of George Carlin translating the pre-flight safety speech on airlines.

"In case of a sudden loss of cabin pressure..."
"ROOF FLIES OFF!"
