Agreed. ;)

awww. group hug time.

I'm not hugging him, no matter what. :eek:

If you do, charge him book rate plus half an hour!!!! Otherwise, he won't trust that you really meant it.

I'd charge 14 hours... :rolleyes:

okay group hug- but after that we all gotta do the 14 hour job just by standing next to the car- but not touching it. :rolleyes2

After starting this thread and reading it, I still need help with diff swap
 

I guess I am the guilty one for starting this thread and expressing my frustration at how some mechanics charge. Many of them are fine, decent,honest, family people just making a living. It just seems that things are getting more and more expensive. Finally diesel it cheaper than regular gas here. $2.19 yesterday. My wife is still chewing my butt for spending too much on repairs. And I am still searching for a local mechanic I trust.

I would love to do the differential swap myself, but really think I need an extra set of hands to help. I think I will feel better next time I pay the mechanic now. Thanks to all.

Do what I do.....fix it yourself and when she gripes about the parts you have ot buy....tell he you will take it to a shop adn THEN she will see what it costs to fix.....or that you will buy a new car and then tell her to divide up $25K + dollars over 4 years and see how much that works out to in a monthly payment.

What do you do when she wants it both ways? She might want to have no payments, no shops or you fixing? :D :D

She already tried that.................


Told her she has to pick one.............a car is 100% neccessary ....opting out is not an option.

What was that song by Queen:

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all.....and I want it now!

BTW, Told "he"? Something about you we don't know? :eek: :eek: Freudian slip or innocent typo? :D :D

Innocent typo............

That't not what you said last night, stud muffin. :D :D

BHD, he is so excited, he's stuttering (That't.......... :D )

hey you was enjoying it with your legs up behind your shoulders...... :uhoh2:
