I have to tell you a funny story...

After finishing the paperwork today the finance guy is walking me out and says " in a few days Chrysler will send you a survey"

I turned to him and says they better not... They don't want to hear what I have to says about Chrysler...

He just got the job a few weeks ago and came from a Chrysler dealership... LOL
