roadside fix

["Brad Sayer" <vwrocco85@hotmail.com>]

My girlfriend likes to kid me about how I love to work on my car, but there 
is still always something wrong with it.  "You spend all this time, and its 
still not fixed?"

Well, driving to Conn. this weekend one of the selector rods in my linkage 
decided to crack adn fall off the little ball joint, leaving me with about 9 
inches of free play side to side, and only 3 and 4th gears.  She was 
convinced our trip was over and was trying to call home as I opened the 
hood, pulled out the piece, ducked taped it back together, reinstalled and 
started the car within 15 minutes.  She was asking me how I was going to 
keep driving with only 2 gears, when I explained to her that I had fixed the 
problem.

Fixing your own car makes you feel very good, but doing on the side of the 
highway in a pinch, with a screwdriver and some duct tape, feels even 
better!
