Let there be light!

So remember when I was telling you guys about my I need a man moment with my car the other day. Well I did make another trip to Auto.Zone in an attempt to flirt my way get a man to fix this tail light bulb issues since EYE apparently was not capable of doing it. Well that trip was a collosal waste of time bust because there was no MAN to help but the nice lady did talk very condescending to me give me a new set of bulbs and said try these. Well I tried those and to no avail the error message was still there. So yesterday I drove in a monsoon happily to the MBZ dealership and had this very nice handsome FINE married guy service support specialist work his magic on the Kompressor. I even had time to sneak some pics of him capture the moment on film.
He has the same look on his face that I did when I was listening to my dad talk about the 2 prong thingys inside the bulb.
He even had to go to the right side! A HA! not just moi! but his reason for going was because most of the bulbs were out of place because of MOI..doh! This is him on the right side..
Alas, he's putting it all back together..
So the answer to my initial question of how many people does it take to change a light bulb,the answer is ONE skillfully trained MBZ service technician.
Brown..out!

We have to take our car to the dealer to get the bulbs changed too... they do it on purpose I'm sure. Of course Morten made me take the car, b/c he was afraid of looking like an incompetent man. As if I wanted to look like a dumb woman. Fortunately they told me that it was good to bring it in, b/c the citroen lights are a pain in the %&! to change and that they had been trained on how to do it properly.

Cars, they don't make em like they use to...

I bet you're right! it's probably an import car thing where you have to go into the dealership for EVERYTHING. I just remember being "competent" enough to change the bulb in my SUVs so when this came up I figured it would be a no brainer...who knew!

Bethany,

I'd like to think that I'm a film opportunist and like to seize the moment. That sounds much more pleasant than stalker..but yes, I must say I have some papparazzi tendencies! :-)
