Penguin4x4

oh and we got some 2x4's, sawzall blades, and some exterior sheathing, so today wasn't a total loss: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/Pen...ts/DSCN0115.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/Pen...ts/DSCN0116.jpg

And that's plugs and wires for all 8 cylinders

shouldn't be more than 150-200 for parts anyhow...

at the time I couldn't do anything but laugh....

yeah I learned that bit about the emissions AFTER the dealership checked it for me. Oh well, live and learn...next time I won't waste my time going to the dealership... Plug wires on cylinders #5 and #7 are at fault...I was planning on replacing plugs and wires at the next oil change anyhow.... They wanted $380 to change the 4 plug wires (2 plugs per cylinder), I laughed my ass off and walked out the door without saying anything else.... jesus...did that include labor yeah, it did...probably 100 bucks an hour for labor...

my dad's plan to be honest

Do tell. I just pulled in, got out, there are two...valets I guess? there...basically I needed "to schedule an appointment with a technician in advance"....the fuck is this, a dentist's office? No, this will cost more Only if I get a filling or some other procedure; no copay required for routine dental checkups on my plan

*pulls out a psychiatrist's couch, paper and pen* Tell me about your mother </lame psych joke>

That's BS, especially in this economy. No other MB dealers in town? srsly "no thanks, I'll just go over to that other dealership" Yeah, they said the other dealerships do the same. Its what MB dealerships do. Dunno about that...whatever...

near as I can figure all the MB dealerships do that...

its Houston, there's a bunch; went ahead and scheduled one there though, its the closest to my parent's house....

people keep telling me I have a high pain tolerance...dunno about that but I'll take their word for it...apparently the first thing you do after being involved in a serious collision (in doing so displacing the lower half of your shin) isn't to find your cell phone and contact someone in a calm and collective manner...

they prescribed them to me when I got out of the hospital, I took them as prescribed for about 3 days, stopped though because I didn't think it was helping (I don't think there was any pain there to begin with, now that I think about it). Then again you are talking to someone who went to a three hour thrash metal concert one week after a high speed car crash, so you should probably take it with a grain of salt...

Eddie Bauer filing for Chapter 11...that sucks...I liked their clothes...
