Re: They Goofed - BIG TIME!

Back in the 80s, Chevy did one of those "recall campaigns" on some of their factory paint jobs... I dont know which cars were included...only ever heard my grandfather bitch about how his 84 Corvette was covered by the campaign, but somehow he never receaved a notice about it...nothing came in the mail(even though he was the origional owner)...he had all maintenance work done at the dealership and they never mentioned anything...
Well, since he kept the Corvette in the garage and there was a parking structure at the hospital where he worked, the car was only in the sun while he was driving it so the paint job didnt show signs of deterioration until after about 6 years...but of course, the campaign was only good for five years, so he had to have the car painted himself...he was pissed!
The moral of the story...actually, I dont know if there is one
Can someone out there think of a good moral for this story? I really should have one...lol
