Gary, one of the big dudes that sits behind the bullpen when you first walk in. Yes, he works at Lakewood.[/b]

When was he there? Last year this time there was Chris Garnette. After that when I went after New Year there was this new SM that took Chris's place. A big dude named Richard Frizzel and his little sidekick Chris something. There was a different guy there last week. Never seen him before.

Why I'm I caring. i'm never going back there? [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

When I've dealt with Rich in service, and he's at least been personable with me (although not highly competent). Gary is one of the sales "manager" people, not service. Since they were delivering on items from when I bought the car, my communication was to the sales department to get things taken care of.

Yeah, I took it in. They said everything seems to be fine from the test drive but I say otherwise. Ed said it may be one of those things that will have to get worse before they can really tell if anything is wrong. Also on cold days (50ish or below) at first start up the car just dies after a few seconds. A diagnostics showed nnothing wrong.

I'm finally taking mine in on Friday to get it looked at. I'm almost expecting the same answer, but hopefully I don't. The 1-2 shift is just horrible, and gets noticeably worse as the RPMs get higher.

I'm getting mostly 5k+. Luckily I'm still under warranty so I'm taking it in to get it fixed.

Yup same here! I thought it was b/c I'm short and can't reach the clutch. Guess I'll take it in and hopefully they have a long wait so they can give me another 6 to play with :D
