Dan, (and all)
Sorry again for a delayed post, life tends to have a habit of getting in the way. Dan, you too have been a comfort as well and is much appreciated. Only once you have shared someone's frustration can you truly appreciate and feel their pain [quote - someone famous]. True, we do have much in common, cars that are becoming royal pains and a passion for the classics. Which brings me to "pirates." My wife and I watched it this weekend, and both thought that it totally kicked. You were right 'oil brother of mine', that movie rocked!! And their was some kind of funky fate on as when we got done watching it, we flipped the satellite on and low and behold Princess Bride was just beginning on AMC, so we of course had to watch it as well. A weird twist of fate!
Ok, so back on topic. I had originally planned on doing the TEC thing this weekend, however when I got to the dealer on friday (they were having it shipped in), it hadn't arrived as scheduled. After a minor ranting, and much frustration, I left. Called today, still not in. arg! So I'll be waiting until tomorrow and will then become a very disgruntled customer ~:O) If only my swiss army knife and a roll of ducktape would solve this, we would be soooooo good!
Swerving to a side note, is your car losing paint on the roof/hood/trunk lid?
Anyway, I'm going to do the TEC thing as soon as it gets in, and will let you know how that turns out, hopefully by Wednesday at the latest. Hopefully your mechanic is not banging his head off of your car's hood like I as this is a nasty habit! I totally agree in telling him when he gets a chance as it really sets the tone to a mild one!
