Morning maan! How ya feelin?

Better. I could have come in to work yesterday but didn't want to spread all the germs around the office. Plus I was pretty tired from two nights of rather poor sleep.

I've always been told repairs are cheaper.... So long as you keep up with the preventative stuff.

The preventative stuff is easy enough to do, but for real reliability, you have to treat the old car like an airplane and replace things on time instead of when they fail. That gets expensive, but it does not leave you without a vehicle. As much as I wish I could do that, I'm just not the type of person to replace a perfectly working alternator with a newer one. Wheel bearings are the same. I could spend a weekend replacing all 4 wheel bearings and know that I'd not have an issue for another 100k miles, but it just isn't going to happen. There is a simplicity to life when you can rely on a vehicle knowing exactly how much it will cost you each month. Maybe I'm getting old, but the excitement of never knowing what an old car will do, or stop doing, is wearing on me.

Glad to hear it. Hope you have an easy day.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better Maan. As an office dweller, I fully support your decision to not share your germs with your coworkers.

See, I hate working on my own stuff. I tend to be among the "if it ain't broke" crowd... The S10 has started making some strange noises lately...

Hi Wt, have you gotten any projects done on your week off?

I upgraded my computer by adding the video card I bought. Now I can slack off this week and play the couple video games I couldn't play because the video card wasn't strong enough. Otherwise I'm just making sure I get to my IU Health appointments on time so I can start work next Monday and hitting the range when and where I can

Same here, just not a good time for me, Did BA start it??

Pretty sure we can blame everything that happens in this group on him, so yes he started it.

I wish. My ability to buy a CZ right now went away with the center bearing of the silver car.

From what I hear, Bradis got in four SP01 tactical's.

What I would do in this situation is buy another car, then use the money that's doesn't exist that would have been spent repairing the first car and buy a CZ.

I figured you'd buy one for aunt Henri for her birthday.
