Ta daaaa ...............

After a 3 week nightmare, Finally ........... Absolution!

https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...-today-963958/





Progressive, the kid's insurance company, estimated the damage to come out to $4860! Had it done for about $2K less by the compatriot of Paul our star master mechanic in Northern NJ. His name is also Paul, and his primary business is building show cars. He's got a room full of trophies to show for it!

Now I just need a new outer tie rod, a stabilizer link, and a lower ball joint and all will be right with the world again.

Wow. Great job. I imagine it has a whole new subframe to avoid alignment issues? Other than that it was a relatively straight forward fix.

Must be because cars are subjected to salt bathes six months out of the year.

Not a shitty picture. It's a used part that was actually worse before my body polished it up best he could.
It does work though along with the igniter and ballast it came with. Part of that $2000 saving!

LOL...
try and remember that the millennials are so into their computers and auto correct that the Queen's English is becoming a dying art.
There losing they're ability to discern when to use their.

On the plus side, that leaves behind an entire language where we can ridicule them and they don't understand what we're saying about them!

I can't tell if I've been called a know it all dickhead or not. Lol. Btw, Navyman72 thank you for your service it is truly appreciated. Also it should be "my wife just had a fender bender in mine. No "mines or mine's". Autocorrect is not at fault. Sorry, just a slight pet peeve. I'm not trying to be malicious or spiteful.Haven't any of you been embarrassed whatching atlhletes who have gone through decades of school and a few years of college at least, sound like English is their 3rd or 4th language? Then you listen to some athletes why maybe are from another country, whose English is better than those who grew up in the USA. It sometimes seems like younger people take pride in purposefully sounding ignorant. If this gets me banned so be it, I'll just read from now on. I'm sure someone will have asked the same question I will ask about.

Well, that's another reason, in some ways I realize that it isn't that important.
Plus, I'm gonna be telling people to get off my lawn before I know it!

Lol that “get off my lawn” line is classic I think that’s the first sign of becoming old! Haha and the even autocorrect needs a break sometimes.
