While I truly love tearing down an engine. Coming home and having my vehicle refuse to start the day after I get home is frustrating... Now toss on the fact my sister decided to tear down a wall then leave for the week so I have to hang drywall, mud and paint half the house. And that I get to fix peoples mistakes at work because apparently no one else can work a plasma cutter or an arc rig. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Olds alero. Plasma cutters and arc rigs arnt difficult to use once you get a few hours on them but for some reason guys making a lot more money than me can't cut a straight line in the side of a ship. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

It could be worse you could be working on a volkswagon, or one of the other countless more pain in the ass cars our there. -------------  edward d'andrea |

I went to look at a smittybilt rear bumper for my toyota, the guy sold me the whole truck - running - for $200, I'm pumped. ------------- Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here. |

I feel ya on this one, every time I turn around it seems like one of my cars is needing something. I've put a new rear end, tps sensor, cv shaft, and going on my 3rd u joint for the old chevy just in the past 3 months. Not to mention what I need for the rx7 and the scion. -------------

| I don't mind turning wrenches. As long as it isn't my daily driver. |

| My buddy drove an Alero for many years, he loved that car as much as you can. |

I usually don't either but spreading my attention amongst my three vehicles and friends vehicles in my precious spare time tends to ware on me. -------------

Know the feeling. Just got back from Florida picking up a car my mom sold us cheap. Started up and ran fine all the way back and yesterday I go to start it and it acts odd. I think it's protesting the cold. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
