Anyways, he sent me home with the oversized drain plug and leaking pan so they can pay for a new motor if the **** seizes up...

Come get it and we'll call you when the right pan comes in..."

I was like, "WTF?!?!" I said, "So how did that happen, did your guy use an impact gun and strip it?" He said, "No, the last person could have." I said, "Well, it's been changed here for the last 20,000 miles..." and he's like, "Oh, well the car has 147,000 miles it just happens."
I called the Firestone corporate office on Thursday at 8:00am and within 30 minutes I had a call from this store's manager (same guy who told me it stripped due to the mileage) apologizing and saying they would completely replace the oil pan no charge to me.
Anyways, it was supposed to be in Thursday and it wasn't, got a call on Friday to bring it in on Monday... Then I got the call this morning that they had the wrong oil pan
Same guy (the service manager) that BS'd me before that it wasn't their fault is the guy who is trying to tell me they ordered the wrong pan because they didn't have the car's VIN number
Had the audacity to think I would believe there is more than one oil pan for a 1998 Z28

Damn! Im not sure I would trust those idiots to replace the pan. Personally, I'd send the car to the dealer and have it replaced, and make Firestone pay the bill! BTW, where is this dealer located? Keep other LS1 owners from doing business to these numbnutz and risk getting screwed! I might come, but it depends on if its raining or not.
