Not at all.. (this time).

When it comes to helping members save money...that'* what we are here for. I like to think that I open my garage to anyone that is willing to learn and save money.

Point taken.!! I ahve seen you offer and seen many thanks to you for your help.
Now, if only I lived a lot closer.
Back on topic, I do feel for the repairs that need done. We have all been there, and will be there again.
At this point, I wish I had a car to repair. I'd take anything right about now.

that is so true for you and most BC menbers here

wow, thanks for all of the responses! well, it appears the car is going to be ok, i have to pick it up this afternoon, i wish i had the time, skills, and patience to do the work myself, but i guess that'* just the way things go. I hate to see what this will cost me

169K...ya, that UIM was due to fail.

So, I take it you got the 98 Bonneville instead of the Aurora? Or is it your original Bonnie?

It'* my original bonneville, i decided to keep it for as long as i can, i'm not on good terms with it right now
