The service manager recommended 2 forms. He was a lot nicer than the parts guy I ordered the keys from.
But it is done.
Thanks
Doug

He's there to sell new cars, though, so I realize there is only so much enthusiasm for the classics. That's okay. Now, I have to take the Dee8gonator in to get it's badge.

The link doesn't work anymore, are they still doing the awards? I have the .pdf saved from my last one, but was getting ready to send in the next one.

Try the link again - I just did and it worked just fine. It did take about 30 seconds to load.

That's a coincidence, I was just about to search for this thread and here it is at the top.

My 500K badge arrived today!

When I clicked the link I get the error "file is damaged and can not be repaired"


Maybe it's because I marked that their mileage conversion for the 500K badge was wrong when I sent in my form.
