Everyone seems happy this morning.

Thanks Patrickt - I whole heartedly agree about moral obligation. It is what typifies the old versus new SAI (as a company). It is also what typifies some of the people at SAI. I have heard so many stories about Gary Patterson taking care of people and their problems (when it is or isn't SAI's fault) because it is the right thing to do (which ultimately can save head aches and long term versus short term problems / benefits). Personally, if it were not for him, SAI would not have fixed the frame on my car, and the most outstanding thing is that he did it even though he knew that the then policy of SAI would not support this decision. Although he has been the go to guy for a long time, ireally don't think it is in his job description as VP (then again, I don't think it is in Amy's job description to help me the way she has in the past).

Don't get me wrong. I am still looking for resolution and help, but I prefer to be nice until it is time to stop being nice (and that line is different for everyone). I think it also helps that NONE of my requests of SAI have ever been unreasonable - except for my request to have them come up to Santa Cruz and detail my car because it got dirty riding on an open trailer to San Luis and then here
