Appointment to change a fuse?!?!
 

I got a speeding ticket a couple weeks ago going out to the Hamptons... An 89 in a 55. I was honestly going like 70 the whole way and i saw the sign for the exit and i sped up and the cop was right behind the sign for the exit. So i decided ---- that i'm not paying anymore tickets for ---- thats pointless. In the acura there is a fuse that turns off the guages so i just pulled it and shorted it out. I brought it to acura to have them change it and print up a little reciept and letter that said that it wasn't working. They go "we're gonna need the car for a day to do a thorough inspection". How crazy is that?? I was about to ask them to just print up a reciept and have do it myself. If i can get them to do this before the court date the ticket will just get dismissed. Along with two other speeding tickets i got in the Ac... :P I never brought a car to the dealer to get service so is this normal?! Thats some bullshit if it is. Oh yea theres absolutely no point to this thread it was just a little shocking to go there and tell me to come back in almost a week for a single fuse that i shorted out in the middle of the road. ::)

Doesn't sound logical... Maybe try another dealer. I got a ticket for "failure to maintain restraining devices in working order" just because my seatbelt was caught on something the dumbass cop thought it was broke. Brought it to the dealer and about 15 mins later I left with a little statement written by them stating everything was ok and got my ticket dropped.

sounds like they are going to check the wiring, because fuses just dont burn out.. so thats why.. but maybe if they are being cool you can tell them what you did?

You think so?? The dealer i went to was the one where my sister bought the car and it's like supposedly the most prestigous. This lady pulled out a leather book to write my name down in for an appointment, it was kinda like a doctor type thing. Even if the wires aren't screwed up they still have to write that the guages weren't working at one point for them to be fixing it....right?
