    sure they may be the run flat tires, ok...

    that is insane.

    I think this feeling should expressed in a poem...
    I went to my mechanic...named Fred
    "You need a new transmission"...he said
    Im out $1200 bucks...
    Im shit out of luck...
    FUCK my mechanic.....I wish he were dead?????



    hehehehehehehe
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Speedy..have you thought about a monthly warranty plan ?

    At least its not all in one shot and it covers everything

    Actually its not about the money...
    I have money....
    I have owned cars for 30 years...
    I realize they cost money....

    I just HATE mechanics........

    My timing belt fell off my car Friday, as I was getting ready to go to Hartford :(

    the guy who replaced my belts, water pump etc. a few years ago didn't do the job right in securing everything....... I got lucky my valves didn't break...... And I still dropped almost $550

    less beer for me this tour

    Tacoma

    i suppose a chain could do a little more damage vs a belt. I guess it depends on what the chain would do after breaking. does it fall down around the crank shaft gear and chew that up? but the likely hood of a chain breaking is alot less than a belt. it is designed to last the life of an engine, unlike a belt which is designed for 90K(?) miles

    lemme tell ya what sucks major balls.
    when your car's power windows give out.
    all 4 of mine are shot in my car.

    one may ask "but chadwick, how do you roll your car's windows down?"
    answer... i don't roll 'em down. and my a/c doesn't work... :lol:

    a friend of mine and myself ripped the doors apart, cut the cables to the electric windows thingy,
    put doors back together and use duct tape to hold windows up. (or down). some doors are not taped up or down as we haven't fixed all 4 of the doors yet. i know the drivers door is fixed up quite nicely with the duct tape maneuver.

    edit:
    and if the window happens to fall down inside the door
    it takes a needle nose pliers to retrieve said window from down inside the car door.

    fun fucking times being me :mrgreen:

    costs money to buy whiskey.
    @ the moment im a bunk ass college student off from school due to shit health.
    im thinking about driving my car off the cliffs of the grand canyon anyway.
    no sense fixing the windows.

    btw, for me nothing about mechanical work is easy.
    i can change a tire, oil, and add other fluids.
    oh... and i think i can install a battery if i had too.
    that is all.

    Never trust a car mechanic.
    They always rip you off.

    That's why it always handing to have retired one who does jobs at home to occupy his time, living in your street! LOL I've got to go the rear main seal on mie soon, but need to pay insurance (today! :o ) and rego in a fortnight, and send money to a friend for powderfinger tix, so it is the next on the list of priorities after all of them. It's not like a I do a lot of K's at the moment so it can wait a few more weeks. :lol:
