As soon as I locate the MMD I will remove it and post a step by step directions on how to do it yourself complete with 8x10 full color glossy photos with circles and arrows.
In the meantime, I have found placing a handfull of 'sacrificial' change in the ash tray helps.
Just remind yourself how much you are $aving by not making new car payments + insurance EVERY month. And even a new car needs maintainence.
: BUT times like this I want to push my car off of a cliff and ask myself why the hell I got into it in the first place...
: I mean, I was fully aware that this poor car would need a lot of TLC... $100+ just to get her to move under her own power and to our first $500 trip to the brake shop should have said so...
: I THOUGHT my car freinds were knowlegeable... ("fly wheel..") and helpful... (I'll be over to pull your radiator tommorow... 50$ to have it rebored and pizza... 1 week, 150$ + towing later...)
: I bought the maunual... (round here somewhere) to prevent getting shafted by the repair places... (my regular shop can't handel tranny's and related stuff)...
: MAybe I'm just having a bad week/month all around...
: I swear if it wasn't for you guys I'd have given up a LONNNNNNG time ago....
