Sorry.... I've calmed down now. I apologize for the blowout.

It took me 10 years of working backbreaking jobs and learning
any way I could to be able to build and maintain my Oldsmobiles.
It took me an hour and a half to change the serpentine belt on my dad's "Cheby" Prizm. You have to be an 8 year old girl to work on that piece of junk. I had to make my own tool.

Am I too stubborn, or just not submissive enough? I'd rather have 15MPG and a BBO clunker than 35mpg and have to ride in a seemingly irreparable jelly bean with rubber bands under it.
