I found someone to buy my dead Saturn for $300.  I doubt the junkyard would have given me that much, so I'll take it.  Hey, that's the first payment on my new car, and the first payment isn't due until March, so I'm set until April!

That's cool Mz!

I got my rebate back already for my new phones from Verizon! That made me happy. I had thrown in my birthday money so we could get them. Now I have my birthday money back. smile

My husband came to work today. He is not 100% yet but better. He would have sworn he had food poisoning but I was fine. So he is thinking it was a flu bug. So now I am hoping that I don't get it.

Good Morning, -5 this morning, We are getting all new computer programs and a Name change come March 1st. I'm not too worried but most of these old dogs barely have the programs down now that have been out for 13 years.

mornin' all.

It's so nice outside right now, but that's all gonna change drastically in a few hours. And I'm still waiting to hear back on my car. I hope they get it ready before the storm attacks.

Will do.

I'm sure they haven't even looked at it yet no.gif

The shop is on two sides of the street. One brother (Paul) runs the one on my side. He's really really fast and efficient. Extremely friendly and customer service oriented. Quick to at least get you a quote. But he only handles tires, brakes, hoses, belts, etc.

The other brother (Glenn) is a jag. He's the slowest moving man on the face of the earth and has no communication or customer service skills. He handles the engine issues. I once had a car sit there for five days and he hadn't even looked at it!

I needed an oil change, tire rotation, brake light replaced, belts & hoses checked, which Paul would do. But the stalling engine stuff falls on Glenn, so I'm afraid I'm in for a long wait hmm.gif

Arg!

I just walked to the mechanics. First of all, apparantly there is something called a REV Limiter, that's why the engine revs the way it does.

So far they can't duplicate the problem and aren't sure what's causing it.

Ugh, that is frustrating.

When we first bought our Mazda new, it would do this thing where it simple wouldn't start. We'd call the dealer and they would tow it in. As soon as it arrived at the dealer, it would start. After the first time, we had the tow truck driver try to start it so that he could verify that it indeed wouldn't start and we were not just crazy or stupid.

Finally, after the 3rd or 4th time of towing it in, it wouldn't start when it got to the dealer. They immediately had a swarm of mechanics all over that car trying to figure it out. Turned out it was a bad fuel pump.

You would just think that with all the cars they see you couldn't stump them so easily.

The problem is A, so it must be the result of B, C, or D right?

I wish I'd have learned more about cars growing up, maybe I coulda fixed it myself. If you want something done right....

I think most mechanics do have a B, C, or D, in mind for particular problems. The question is do you want them to just replace parts B, C, & D and charge you for all three, or would you rather they try to figure out which one it is and just replace that one part?
