Actually, I've not had a single problem until last week.

I bought it in 2005 new so I really can't complain but it might be time for an upgrade. Once on bolt gets loose the thing begins to fall apart. Plus, I'm ok with a new car.

God I love Kiwi.

MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS SO PACKED AND INACCESSIBLE

HERE IS A PICTURE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT FACT

IGNORE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A TURBO ENGINE THAT TAKES UP CONSIDERABLY MORE SPACE THAN MINE

IGNORE THAT

HAHA I couldn't find a pic of one that looks exactly like mine but GOSH IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH.

Shop labor is pretty much always a ripoff unless you lack the tools or equipment to do it yourself, and in most cases buying the tools or equipment is still cheaper

Fuck that monopoly.

it doesn't really bother be that ambrosia rides kiwi's nuts in every fucking thread

but it REALLY fucking bothers me that she is so god damn unfunny while doing it

[Edited on June 19, 2009 at 4:01 PM. Reason : it's not a monopoly]

can we talk about the labor theory of value for a second

6/19/2009 4:01:37 PM

pretty much all of ambrosia's posts suck

ambrosia sucks too

I hate to say it, but if it was between Kiwi and ambrosia, I'd rather have Kiwi around

her ignorance is at least laughable

You managed to insult me and flatter me all at once. Damn you.

6/19/2009 4:03:29 PM

i swear i keep reading it like alligator

If I had to pay shop rates for all the work I've done myself on all my cars...I could most likely buy a new BMW M3 for the same moneys.

Live. Love. LEARN.

There's nothing I don't want to learn more about. Well, except for Renaissance Faires and Comic Cons and role playing games.

And I can honestly say, especially with the online resources available to me today...I'm not scared to attempt to repair ANYTHING. And while a lot of it does require some investment in time in the beginning, I end up saving a lot of money. The cool thing is...so many things around us share similar components, it seems like a new synapse has been bridged in that I understand how so many other things work after fixing something for the first time. It's exponentially building on itself. The sky's the limit.

You rock. If I were near you you'd be the first person I called, aha

I can change my alternator in 10-15 minutes ('89 Mustang), but it was a BITCH in my old Honda (you have to take lots of other things off to access it) and it would take multiple hours... I dunno about a Focus
