I hate the dealership service department. I feel like every time I go in there, I get hit up for some ole ll*t, when literally, all I wanted was for a blinking light to turn off. What ever happened to the bumper to bumper warranty I signed on “Everything” for 36,000 miles and 3 years?
The car is TWO YEARS OLD!!!!! and now they’re talking about how I “probably needed tires 5,000 miles ago”? Then he added, “you must do a lot of highway driving”… AHHHHHHNT…. First of all, don’t worry about what the f%uck I be doing.. ok?
Or how/where I drive my car. Second, if you think for a minuute that I don’t know that these bullsh*t tires yall put on the car when I bought it were MADE to wear down fast so that I’ll have to get new tires from YOU, think again.
I know your bullsh*t game. I know that you say I shouldn’t really put Continental tires on my car, that they aren’t “high performance” enough for a car like this. Even though, YOU JACKASSES sold me the ride with CONTINENTALS on the damn thing. I mean, seriously, do you think I’m that stupid?
Nah, it’s not that I’m stupid, it’s that you just don’t care. Because you know when you’ve got my car up 10 feet in the air and I’ve taken all kinds of time to drive it down, taken your bullsh*t shuttle back to work, done all the foolishness trips with the car that I’m gone do and just want my ride back, YOU KNOW, that’s when you hit me with that “oh, and you really need 4 new tires AND an allignment my nilla”… “Oh and by the way, that’ll be $1,200…LITERALLY.” I mean, I walk into the spot for an OIL CHANGE and walk out $1,200 lighter?
You know, I have gone through great pains to keep some of my personal life personal.. but this is how we’re going to do this.
FUCK BMW OF MANHATTAN
FUCK SIDNEY (that’s the service guy, incidentally, what kind of name is “Sidney” for a grown ass man?)
FUCK CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY AS A STAFF, LABEL AND A MUFUCKIN’ CREW
and if you’re down with Continental Tires, then fuck you, too..
Chino XL, Fuck you too
All you mufuckers
Ok, got that off my chest.
And I’m not really sure how this pic ties in, but it made me feel better. Assholes… PISSED…

I must say that I read you blog often & I always leave with a smile on my face. Your commentary is hilarious! And this post just made my day. You can’t ever go wrong with a Tupac “Hit em up” reference.
Keep doing what you do & keep making me smile!!
As an otherwise fairly savvy guy, you have surprised me by allowing this to happen to you.
There’s really two things to know when you’re looking for somewhere to get your car serviced:
A – If you go to the dealership with a fuckin glass pyramid encased showroom in the middle of Manhattan, you’re getting jacked. Don’t act surprised. That fancy ass showroom and the rent for it aren’t free or cheap. They’re ripping somebody off (i.e. you).
B – The more people they employ, the more inefficient/expensive it is for them to do anything. You need to find the oldest, dirtiest most disorganized looking garage you can. With precisely one guy working there. And he’s eighty. And he’s been fixing cars since he was eighteen.
He knows where all his tools are in that fucked up garage. He works alone so he doesn’t have to overcharge your ass to pay some stupid desk jockey. And he’s eighty so he isn’t exactly interested in busting his ass. He could give a fuck about selling you tires (he’s got beer to drink, you dig?).
they don’t call it the stealership for nothing!!!
Tupac would be proud of the Chino XL drop….
listen i’m from the bronx and drove a bmw for years. those bx mechanics will hook you up for a couple hundred and a fat blunt
man i took my car to the stealership couple of times..(MB in l.a) godamn…waaaay overpriced…went online researched and you can do your own thang for like 1/10 the cost, eff the dealerships. brake job cost me $800, i did it myself for $85 ($10 for 12 pack of beer)same parts and everything.
Ayo that exact same shit happened to me yesterday went in for an oil change left aftr they raped my wallet. That’s Fucked up.
damm tell us how you realy feel lmao
Ian, fair enough, but I went in there on a whim to a got damn OIL CHANGE!!! Not to get my car really “serviced”.. this wasn’t some big inspection, it was a damn blinking light I got tired of seeing. Total bullshit.. still pissed. Look, the thing I could have done was taken it back, gone to a jackleg spot and gotten the tires for a significantly cheaper price. But then my car is gone for another half day, so I just nutted out and took my beating like a man.
Finally, ALL THE DAMN DEALERSHIPS have a glass pyramid in the middle.. come on now. They probably got that Superman crystal display in Wasilla Alaska…well, maybe not there, but everywhere else… f*ck.

Haaa, I thought me and Brock were the only ones who have talked about how crazy that Chino XL drop in was.. I mean, what did CHINO XL ever actually do to tupac? And if he did say something, who cares, he’s CHINO XL!!! haaa Still, he got that venom/fire combo punch that literally knocked his punk ass off the scene to this very day. I mean, that is soooo hilarious. And Hit Em Up is definitely the best Rap Diss song ever. Just too ill, too real. Though it is in a tie with Nas Ether.. I mean, that was ILL. Great stuff.
Jmack.. I know the shady jackleg, oxtail roti option is there, but Fing with them cats takes the care out of warranty for all the other repairs that I otherwise get for free. And I have a friend who literally got his shit invalidated for trying to be cute under the hood. They really come with that “wish a nilla would” flow and jack you even harder! Once it falls out of warranty, it will definitely be a bun and cheese special.. no question. ha
hit em up? pac had a great verse, his “lil homies” made the song so bad for me i ff after the first verse…
as for the bx cats, you just have to know one of their cousins and they’ll hook you up. For simple stuff like an oil change I had no prob going to them. Now, getting new breaks? I’d go the official route.
Yo Lake,
Let me say that I actually like the personal rant as compared to the normal every day posts.
I get way more comments and feedback on my blog when i talk about personal shit rather than commenting on something else somebody did.
I think you might be surprised as to how well this will get recieved if you take to it and be more personal.
Just my 2 cents.
But yo, to Lake and Brock, and everyone else, I officially got my domain and shit so you can reach your mama’s least favorite blog at:
nickelplatedbama com now rather than the old blogspot url.
Oh and Brock, if you check this comment, did you get that email I sent you of the homie in the UVT tee?
Holler boys.

When I drove a BMW I bought my tires from Sam’s. You should check em out.
