New Car Woes.

@Yip, no idea, just know don't get Beeb started on JD's
Should be in PDH's drinking sig.

Goddammit.

Beeb bitches about his goddamn degree or whatever the fuck it's called - 1 drink

I just spoke to a manager there, said that I was concerned about glass spontaneously shattering on a car I've only driven a few weeks, and my unhappiness with a large payout already.  He said I should be concerned, as the glass was broken in a strange manner and they had no idea why that would have happened.  Said I should call Subaru corporate to complain and that they'd send it up the the corporate ladder on their end.

That sounds more promising

[Appeal to Self]As an attorney who regularly sues over warranty claims, that manager is a fuckstick liar dickbag shitface.[/Appeal to Self]

See what happens when you listen to what Malthus has to say about cars?

[Scipio]

Even in benighted shitholes like Mississippi, it is the duty of the warrantor to disprove the validity of your in-warranty-period claim. That manager is a lying sack of shit. Subaru needed to replace that thing gratis.

[Barrister]

I don't get it.  I thought Malthus and CC had JDs and Beeb went the olde schule apprenticeship route.

No?

For as long as there have been law schools in Canada, people were awarded the LL.B. degree.  The same was true in the US, by the way, until the 50s-60s or so.

Back when CC, Malthus, and I went to law school (I'm actually younger than them by a couple of years), every school handed out the LL.B.

But early 2000s, those traitors at the U of T decided that sticking true to Commonwealth/Canadian traditions wasn't good enough - they had to have  JD instead.  Their program was completely unchanged - all that changed was the nomenclature.  And then, slowly but surely, every Canadian law school has followed suit. 

Well, apparently McGill still awards LL.Bs - those brave, noble bastards.  Good luck to them.

Yale was the last to do away with the LL.B. in the 70s, and when they did like many other schools they would issue a J.D. if you brought in your extant LL.B. to exchange it.

No, he was just passing the buck. They hadn't contacted me at all in response to my e-mail, and I can't believe that four people were either out or without access to mail yesterday or Thursday evening.

My alma mater did the same.

But they can have my LL.B. when they pry it from my cold, dead hands...

Only a doctor can attempt that.

Oh. That's disappointing

I'd make sure to include his exact name and details of the buck passing, both when you move up the chain and when you document it publicly on Facebook and assorted message boards.

When he says he has no idea, I guess the thing that springs to my mind is that there's a previously unknown manufacturer's defect which could cause them reputational damage; so I'd be quite concerned were I the manager.
