yay me!

Excellent! Despite how I do things, for most *normal* people, these cars are 
actually not so bad to work on. Good thing, seems they need to be worked on 
a lot. If you want some real "feel good " reading, check out the "My new 
hobby" saga once I finally get it written...

Two goods things about doing it yourself:
- it gets done right and you can fix all that "while you're in there stuff", 
and you know your better than average new parts actually make it onto YOUR 
car.
- you don't have to wait till the mechanic has time to get to it, and the 
labour rate is real good.

Okay, three things, you can learn to drink and cuss like a sailor.
