Brace yourself, for this is the most amazingly fantastic Nathan Exposed story EVER!!! It is a breaking news exclusive, and I guarantee you won’t find it anywhere else in the world! Actually, it’s pretty boring… and pretty long. But it made me happy, so I’m going to say it. This morning, I went to get my oil changed. I hate getting my oil changed. Why do car dealerships never have a good magazine selection? Don’t they realize that their customers sit in that boring waiting room, reading People magazines from 1997? Come on… I’ve gone to discount places, and they always mess things up. So I only go to Toyota… although, they have their share of assholes working too. I used to go to the one in Franklin because I work in Williamson County. But they always take 2 hours, despite the fact that I have an appointment. They have 1 old magazine, and a copy of the Bible for kids. Meanwhile, there is nothing on their TV. Daytime TV is boring. At least I have an iPod. Last time I went, they broke my window on the driver’s side, and then tried to charge me! WTF?! I raised Hell and told them they were fixing it, and made them write up a signed agreement to pay for any work that might have to be done in the future as a result. They did fix it, but it’s never been quite the same. Today, I called them to make an “appointment” to come in. The guy told me they weren’t taking appointments for today. I told him I’d find a new Toyota dealership to do business with, and hung up. I drove over to the one in Murfreesboro, where I live. Let me preface by saying I’d been to this one last month when there was a nail in my tire. They patched it up for free and were very nice. The only reason I didn’t consider them for my oil change was because I live close to an hour from work, so I wanted to get it done at the Franklin Toyota, which is closer to where I work. I walked in and told the guy what I needed. He was very nice, but tried to scare me off since I didn’t have an appointment. I knew that he was bluffing because they did the same thing with my flat tire. I smiled kindly and said “That will be fine, I don’t mind waiting.” I went into the lounge and browsed the magazine rack. I spotted The Advocate magazine! Now you readers in big cities probably don’t see what the big deal is. But let me explain. I was in a car dealership, which is primarily filled with straight people, no matter where you live. Further, I was in a small southern town, where there are more rednecks than I’d like to admit. Yet here was The Advocate, casually included in the mix of magazines. I picked up the magazine and read it page for page. After finishing the issue, I put it back on the rack, and scanned for something else. Whoa! What? There was another issue of The Advocate. I happily picked it up and read the entire issue. Just as I finished, a woman came in and called my name. My car was ready. It only took 1 hour. That’s it. 1 hour, without an appointment. The Franklin Toyota took at least 2 hours, with an appointment. And I never got bored in Murfreesboro. I was very pleased with their service, and very impressed with their inclusion of gay magazines. Kudos to you, Toyota in Murfreesboro. I will be coming back. 
ahh cute story… since my car is so old, i get my oil changed at my vietnamiese mechanic- and there’s nothing there to read, just the local newspaper- hehe so depresing, the only good thing its that i never have to call for appointments, he takes me right away I wonder who reads the Advocate in Murfreesboro, the accountant?? Peace Posted by alexsander on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 12:50 pm Hmm. Having never visited, I have no idea what Tennesee is like. But here in Las Vegas, I love to read the magazines (INCHES, FRESHMEN, and HONCHO) my nearby Jeep dealer has to offer. Posted by purpletwinkie on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 1:36 pm Porn at the Jeep dealer? I don’t believe you Twinkie. Take a picture next time. Posted by Nathan on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 1:48 pm Is that a dare? Posted by purpletwinkie on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 4:00 pm Well Nathan it seems to me you have found a gay friendly business which are hard to find in the bible belt in a city like the boro….wish we had those here in lavergne/smyrna…someone at owns the business or works there must be gay or bi….wonder if he is cute?….lol…. Posted by BEARROLLER on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 4:16 pm The Advocates probably are left there by that cute mechanic in the third bay who never says anything, but leaves his phone number written in several strategic places in the margins of the magazine, hoping someone will notice and rescue him from his lonely hell. Posted by DEL on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 7:13 pm “I’ve went to discount places…” I’m sorry… but coming so close after Wednesday Words, I just couldn’t let this one slide… Posted by yaniboy on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 7:44 pm That is shocking!! Posted by jasont.phx on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 10:56 pm Oh yeah, LOVE the new design, esp. the addition of the leaves Posted by jasont.phx on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 10:57 pm I got an oil change, new shocks, and a front end allinment on tuesday. Wait in the waiting room… are you kidding? I walked down town, had coffee and went shoping! It was an expensive day! Posted by john on Thu, Aug 31, 2006 @ 11:53 pm “I’ve went to discount places.” Hmm, I’ve always perceived that to be correct, but now that you bring it to my attention, I guess it should be “I’ve gone to discount places.” Updated it Thanks Jason John - Really? That is expensive. hehe Posted by Nathan on Fri, Sep 1, 2006 @ 9:08 am What a great experience! Now, if I could only pronounce Murfreesboro without spitting all over myslef… Posted by korykinnick on Fri, Sep 1, 2006 @ 10:29 am Leave a comment
