Ford hold transfers you to Honda! Halloween contest win!

I called the Ford dealership to get a price quote on a rear brake overhaul this week. The guy in the service department quoted me on the labor and then said he was going to put me on hold in order to get the cost of the materials. He pushed the button and immediately the phone started ringing. Some one picks up and says "bla bla bla dealership". Talking so fast that I couldn't really understand what he said. I assumed that the guy just transferred me to the parts department and I said "Hi I need to get a price quote on shoes and drums for the brakes on a 98 Ranger". He says, "A Ford Ranger?" Uhh...yes. And then he says that they aren't a ford dealership. I'm like "I'm sorry?" They are a Honda dealership. In a different state! Thanks for that awkward conversation, Ford.

On the other hand, it turns out my Doc Brown halloween costume won the costume contest at work. I think there were 19 entries, so I feel pretty good about it. Including some really awesome costumes - Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, RoboCop and Bob Ross.
