No, I'm not talking bout Bud the beer, I'm talking about Bud my main mechanic! Bud is the person who has done mostly all the mechanical work on my Mystique, so, you can see he's got quite the skill it takes to do great things. Reason I ask if I should bring him is because he will be running my shop while I'm gone for the week... that is of course if I don't shut it down for the week. The only way I can do that though is if I could line up some work for him to do out there!!! I was thinking, if any of you want stuff done, we'll pack our suitcases with tools and products, pick a corner in the hotel parking lot, and do some mods! We've done this before, and if swapping out a tranny and full suspension in under 6 hours in my driveway with jacks and jackstands (big ones) doesn't prove anything, I don't know what would. Some things I was thinking we could do...
Brake jobs...
Audio / Multimedia...
Alarms / Remote starts...
Clutches...
Suspension / Airride setups...
Timing belts / tune-ups...
If you think you might be interested, let me know. I'd love to bring him, but we cannot afford to just shutdown and lose money all week.

None, as long as she 'puff puff' gives, which I heard she does.

Once i diagnose the problem with my car, i'll let you know. Something is clunking when i shift. I think it may be the mounts... but hell, if prices are good, i'd be interested. If not i just keep going where i always go!

gotta wait for a payday, plus SP says the springs have to be special ordered. I dunno, I'll be thinking REAL hard on this one, that is a pretty good deal.
 Pay off car or get a new suspension
