It seems that lady luck was not with us today. There's still 32 minutes of hope that the car gets done before he was calling it quits tonight, but that isn't going to help me because I'm not going to make it there on time to pick it up tonight if he finishes it. He told me he's been working on it all day. I don't believe him. He's lied about everything up until this point. I'm wondering if my car is even there anymore. I'm wondering if it is, are my hand tools that I didn't take out of the trunk still there. I'm wondering if he broke my fuel line and is too cowardly to tell me that he broke it. If I don't get my car back tomorrow I'm going to have a stroke. -------------------------------------------------- Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: I got my car back! Going to take it easy tomorrow while driving to my friend's place. Ran a few errands that needed to be be run and everything seems good so far. At this point I hope he actually was doing work on other cars and wasn't working on mine for 3 days straight, because he charged me almost 20 bucks less than what the final quote was. I'm not sure how he stays in business at those rates. Maybe he just takes the bad jobs with the good ones and they even out in his favor or something. I'm still not happy it took two weeks, but he says he's going to do some inquiries and see what he can do about fittings and the nylon tube to fix the fuel line too and give me a quote if he can do it. He showed me a picture of what it looks like and it's pretty terrifying. -------------------------------------------------- Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Yeah. So far so good. Wish me luck that I survive the trip back and forth on the expressway today. I usually like to do a lot more local test driving after something gets fixed before doing that, but I can't ask him to pick me up 3 weekends in a row when I finally got my car back. -------------------------------------------------- Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

Quote:Working on old cars is tough. Parts are hard or impossible to find, and everything is rusted together or brittle as shit. Someone I know had a 20+ year old car in for repair and it took forever... and this was in SoCal, where cars aren't exposed to de-icing salts. Those salts are murder on cars. My sis sent me a picture of "something" that fell off her car ... a rusted part ... and her car isn't even that old. Maybe 8 years. She asked me to ID the part ... my guess was, it was a bracket of some sort, possibly for a brake line, it was about that size. Back there, they have safety inspections every 2 years where they check the brakes and brake lines, wheel bearings and alignment, lights and all that stuff, so if they're doing a good job at least I know her car is safe to drive. I'm glad it's back! Fingers crossed that it survives the freeway trip!

Oh gosh. They don't make things like they used to! Mom used to have a hot water bottle made of natural rubber. It lasted for decades! How's the shoulder? Mine still hurts, that torn rotator cuff is still torn. Torn tendons take a LONG time to heal. If there's a way of making it go faster, let me know! ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE someone poor - William Blake

Quote:Glad to read you're feeling better. Most ppl feel worse in the evening if they're sick with something - has to do with biorythms and cortisol production and whatnot. So if you really have something and it's not just exhaustion and/or exposure to dust and mouse droppings you might feel worse again in the evening. Only time will tell. I like the idea of you doing something easy today, bc you'll know by this evening if feeling sick was just temporary or the real deal.
Quote:Sorry to read about your friend's dad. If he's still in hospital it must be serious. Just pass along my hopes that he'll be on the mend soon. And your friend... oy. Between his cars and his dad he's having a rough time. At least his car troubles are prollyonly temporary. The big positive step was getting that rental vacated, and you played a big part in getting it cleared out so much. At least there's that!
