The issue that I had yesterday was caused by a defect in the B&M after market short throw shifter that I installed in December of 2005. A screw that connected the L shaped dark colored piece (upper right) and the tapered rod (center) sheared off. You can see the lower hole on the tapered rod still has what's left of the screw that held the two parts together. The Pontiac dealership diagnosed the problem, removed the part and completly disassembled it. That same evening, I pulled the original parts out of my garage and dropped them off. The next morning, the guys in the shop put the original shifter in and didn't charge me a dime. I didn't get charged for the tow, or for the labor. How cool is that? It's nice to have a car that's under warranty.

On top all that, everyone at the office were very generous in their offers to drive me home. I declined of course, because Cory was kind enough to drive to my office and pick me up. Thanks man!
