Chun, the car is way out of warranty now. This is coming out of pocket.

 

I'm not expecting it to cost 3k from this shop. That was the Mazda dealer price.
I've pulled trans before. Did it a couple of times on my RX7 to replace the clutch.

 

Rotary for Life Man! Hell no, I'm not getting rid of the best car I've had in almost 40 yrs of driving.

 

Who in the hell is Zack?

 

Yea, we talked about it yesterday a few posts up.

 

WTF, Inquiring minds want to know. Duct Tape?

 

Mine is lowered too much for a 9" snowfall. I would end up being a snowplow. Fortunately, for the most part, the snow is taken care of pretty good here. Haven't had any yet and probably won't have much for another month.

 

Good Morning,
Sorry to hear about the dog. 19 yrs is a very long time for them. I heard from a 70 yr old friend in Florida on Sunday. He is recovering from colon cancer surgery. They caught it early and no chemotherapy is required. He seem to be getting around much better than expected.
Those on the east, the weather should warm up soon. Yesterday and today (even in the morning) we have 60 degree temperatures. We're going to pay for it tonight with sub-freezing temperatures.
I abruptly changed the direction I am going with my transmission repairs. A local independent shop has access to a used trans and will install it for about half the cost of getting the original rebuilt. It looks like I will be able to drive to my mothers and see the family for the holiday after all.

Hi Phren/Fuz, I thought ATG was interesting enough to continue watching. Let's just say it doesn't suck. The jury's still out at my house.

 

The History Channel will be repeating it alot throughout the week. Check the guide for future showings.

 

Fixed, your from Texas. Isn't your first language Spanish?

 

I had two years of Spanish in high school (35 yrs ago). I think he said: The cats have peed on his pants.

 

I never took the SAT/ACT tests. As a Junior, I took the PSAT. Scored in the top 2% in Math and just average in English.

 

I forgot there was a science section. I was back in 1972 that I took the test. I suppose the score is in my permanent record some where.

 

My first year of Spanish I didn't learn much. I just got passing grades. I had a bad teacher that didn't get tenyear. I took the second year and learned what I should have learned in my first. The teacher saw I was trying and gave me pretty good grades.
First year I was one of 3 guys in the class. Second year I was the only guy in the class. I got a lot of attention. The senior next to me lent me her book "The Happy Hooker".

 

About the same size as my HS. About 500, 99 in my graduating class. 5 had died in auto accidents within one year. One was on her honeymoon.

 

Mac OS=Free BSD=Unix. Not a Linux variety.
I've had some training in Unix that I never used.

 

My neighbor has a turkey deep fryer. They aren't dangerous, unless you fill it too full of oil or drop in a frozen turkey.

 

This is true. The water boils radically and the water is heavier than the oil. These cause the oil to over flow and start on fire.

 

Here and I was going to post that you must not have much work to do.

 

I think Vlase's avatar is Michael J. Fox from Teen Wolf.

 

My ex-wife would say motorcycle engines. She just didn't understand.

 

Sir, you have no since of adventure.

 

Why, you going bald?
