it even gouged the upper hood of the car-my poor mechanic friend really was shook up at how dangerous it would have been if the hood was open-he kept muttering at how NOT right it is-i asked him about the rails so i know he is looking into all that too-i still will try to suggest taking it to a dealer if he thinks it is too much for him-but right now my job is unscrewing all the bolts and all that and i am stuck at trying to find the tricky hidden upper manifold bolt-i am sure he will know were it is but i was just trying to get as much taken apart as i could-i dont know why i like this car so much but i think if we get it fixed i will just steal it from my niece who thinks its to big for her!!!

dude-thanks much!!!
