Man, what a morning!
On the way in to work, I got stranded on the side of a very busy off ramp going to my job in Downtown Detroit. For you midwest Michigan guys, I got stranded off of I-375 coming off the ramp from I-75 (right by the Greektown exit). I was lucky to get enough velocity to get on the side of the road. The Sable wasn't alone, there is a GEN1 Taurus wagon at the same spot. It has turned into a parts car, it looks like lots of stuff has been taken off.
After paying the tow truck guy $70 to go 25 miles, it ended up at the dealership. I have the BaseCare warranty so I should be covered. I also uninstalled my AMS chip on the ECU, I wouldn't want the dealer thinking I was messing around.
Anyway, here is hoping the replace the whole transmission. Otherwise, I will be stuck with another Diag fee and will have to wait again. I lost a whole day of work because of it.
