Problem after problem...

So, the new car is finally HERE! Just so you all know, the waitlist on one of these babies is well into 2009! We did this at the perfect time!
We went into Ken Garff Honda Downtown on Saturday, before it came in, to get the paperwork over with. To make a long story short, the finance guy, Brian, is a weasel and totally screwed us on better interest rate among other things. After going to Ken Garff everyday this week and speaking with the director of finance, I finally got the contract rewritten w/ the better interest rate. They really did end up taking care of me in the end.
SO, we picked up the new car yesterday. It is AWESOME! We drove it to Jess's grandma's in Provo for our monthly "cousins dinner" and then decided to go top it off w/ gas for fun to see how the pump worked. We went to the pump in Orem (there are only 2 stations in all of Utah county). We filled it up w/ 3 gallons, which only cost $2! I turned the key, started the car and watched the gas gauge go from half full to EMPTY and the car died! So, I called the trusty Ken Garff Back-U-Up # and had them tow it back to SLC. The owners manual said if that exact thing happens there is a problem in the fuel system and to get it to the dealer. They said they have never seen this problem. The car only has 66 miles on it! Well we shall see what happens. My whole week has been consumed by this damn car!
