I went to the doctor today for some neck pains. I don't have insurance and wow docotors are freakin expensive! I saw the doctor for like 10 MIn. and I got charged $152.

I can't afford to be throwing $150 right out the window, but oh well I guess I can't change it now, but boy does it suck.

Don't go to doctors theri evil!

I had Martin Install the Greddy exhaust. When I drive it at mid RPMs it sounds like CRAP!
Pfft pfftt pfftt vrrrooom... Is it a bad exhaust or do they all sound this bad?

Once I get going at high RPMs it sounds good.

That sux blake sorry.

I'm gonna have to ask martin to make sure that he tightened up all the bolts on the Greddy exhaust. It just sounds like crap! Almost as if the sound was coming from underneath the car instead of the back?

WTF

Oh yea sure, just wanted to make sure that the total was right and that the 2 new ones were "in addition to" rather "instead of".

Just want to take the time to say TGFHM... Thank God for Hiley Mazda. After all the troubles I have been through in the past, I took my car in for a Check Engine light, Squeaky brakes, and a broken console lid. They changed my plugs, ordered a new lid, but informed me that my brakes were below 20%. I'm not sure how, but they were. Anyway, it was a pleasant experience and everything seems better now. All the starting and moving of my car at Martin's aparantly fouled one of my plugs and cause a few misfires. The console lid was fine, but after leaving it was not. They ordered a new one and it will be here Friday. I'm just glad to finally find a shop that I get good service at. Then I went to my cousin's house and find out that the guy that worked on my car is his neighbor! Hopefully that will help in the future. Anyway, just wanted to say I had a good experience. Currently my car is being buffed and polished so it will be ready for Saturday. I look forward to meeting those who I haven't and seeing those who I haven't in a while.
