Default This is ridiculous!

I can't believe it! It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I was put on the list for a Scion tC at the Frontier Scion (I'm going only thru them for certain reasons I'm not going to get into). Finally, on Monday, they called me up and said that 2 are going to be released, first come first serve, on Friday morning, 9am. Since this car's in so high in demand, they are not allowed to take deposits until then.

Of course, I have class today, one with a test, so I can't skip school. But I get out at 11:30am, so I thought I'll have time to make it down there. 10:30am, I called the dealership to check up on the car.

Both cars have been sold 2 hours ago!

It seems that by around 8ish, there were 10-12 people already waiting at their dealership just to get those two cars!

Next allocation is in 2 weeks, and they're not even sure what color they're getting, too.
By then, I'll make sure I'll be there at 6:30am or something. Unbelievable!

los angeles.

I went to Frontier because they gave me the best deal for springs+labor
Out of14 dealerships, they're going to charge me $350 or so. Sweet deal, excruciating wait!
