It is NEVER over!!
After a while I think they get used to everything. The other day, my wife asked what THAT was in the corner of the garage... I explained it was a gas tank, she calmly asked is mine broken? I said no, I just needed a part off of it. She just went in the house, no more questions. How things have changed

should be good times. Hope everything goes better than our little misadventure into the bowels of hell and exploration into just how pitifully wrong a simple cam change can go.
I think my luck has run out with dsm timing belt jobs. I just managed to break my special mitsu tool in EclipseGST's engine mount bracket today. Luckily, I only had to take the engine mount/timing belt pulley bracket off the car in order to get the matter straight, but I've never had such a run of crappy misfortune with these darn 4g63 timing belts. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

I think that the mod bug gets us all eventually.
Funny thing is that my wife married me after I already had the mod bug (and she knew about it too!!!) sometimes she encourages it too

Well, screw it. Forced to give up on the brown truck at 6:30 in order to be late for my wife's B-day get-together.
Bastards left a note about how they'll try to bring the package by Monday. Glad I paid for 2nd day ... Guess it's just fuel pump, injectors ... and whatever else. Good that Al doesn't have a schedule in Peoria yet ... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................... -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

May not help you out much now, but if you call the number they leave on the note, they'll hold onto the box for you to pick up from their base in East Peoria. I've done it many times.

I was too pissed to read much of the note - but I thought they had a checkbox for that if it was an option... I'll look into it. I've got darts Monday night so that might be the best move ... fvckers ...
