Hello all! I just had to drop you all a note. Thank you for all of your knowledge on Sat. night and vent a bit.

Unfortunately, "the old broad" didn't start this morning. I am a 33 yr. old, single mom, mba, and had to call my parents for a ride to Montessori school for my son. Talk about a long ride! "I told you not to buy that car." Aaargh!

I ordered a "from the ground up" repair manual, a tool kit, and I am going to dig in when they arrive. I am eager to learn about this car, how it works, and how to fix and maintain it. I feel as though this is attainable with your help.

I know that before I do anything, I need to degrease the engine. I'll go and find some product today or tomorrow. I suppose it'll tell me on the package about temps. It seems as though it's too cold to do it . Highs this week are in the 30's. Maybe its just my blood thats boiling.

At any rate, I've received enormous support here, and I want to thank you for it. Thank you.

Good day,
Shelly
