Yea, noticed she was fussy when we picked her up yesterday and took her to the doctors today to find out she has a broke collar bone. She was fine Monday night and when we dropped her off Tuesday morning but they some how say it didn't happen there.

Good-I can't believe they would just give her back to you and not own up to that.

that sucks dan...don't back down, stand up for what you believe is right. they just don't want to take liability for it.

my fiance and i threw a surprise party for her parents last weekend and rented out our apartment complex's club house. one lady at the party went to open a window to let some breeze in and the damn piece of glass fell out and landed on her face. required stitches, etc...and yet the complex wants nothing to do with it. they've been avoiding my calls all week. i know my story isn't like yours but i just wanted to say i know how you feel.

speaking of ramps, what kind are you thinking of building and what for? i'll be building a ramp for myself soon to get into the driveway at my new house.

My current jack won't fit under the car now with the apsec sides and in due for another 1x3 coming up soon so I'm thinking about making some long wooden ramps.

Believe roger555 made some

The transmission mount has some cracks on it....it allows for a little flexing

the side engine mount looks fine

the front and rear engine mounts are tricky bastids....because of the rubber cover you can never guess the condition until you get down there....recently switched the front mount for Dan (local guy) and the mount looked fine from uptop but when we took it out, it was broken in 2 pieces....the only way to know if the front/rear mounts are cracked is to see the amount of engine movement when you fire her up....Dan's engine was "alive" and trying to get out of the bay....

I've got a knocking noise ( more like a rattle)and it sounds like its coming from the drivers side front area of the car. The springs sitting good and the strut is nice and tight so I'm trying to narrow it down

Doesn't matter if I'm turning or going straight. It might be doing it at highway speeds but I can't hear it. Normally driving 10-15 or thru parking lots it's very noticeable.

I'll see if I can get the phone under there to snap a pic in a few

It's such a horrid color. Can't believe anyone would paint it that, let alone 2-tone it with tan.

Headlights are gone, I'm assuming you guys are painting them black

I knew it wouldn't be long before you said, "eff this chrome junk".

Gotta say, I've always thought blacked out headlights looked better on silver and white TL's.
