Sam, Get the mirror on the soccer mom van yet?

 

[SEIndSAM]

Had a minor panic on my older car. When I started it, there was a bunch of smoke coming off of the back of the engine. Then I realized that I hadn't started/driven it since I replaced the WS wiper motor Saturday.....I had to do some liberal doses of WD40 to get some screws & connections off during the installation. It must have dripped down on the back of the engine and it was smoking off....

I can see the panic! I think we have all done something like that.

Junk yard wanted $35 for one and I had to take it off. Amazon had a new one for $38 + tax shipped to my door....

At least it isn't real cold out.

Junk yards aren't the deal they used to be. I guess someone has to pay for the regulations that they have to follow.

Yeah, I have had the mirror since Monday, I was waiting for a warmer day....

Some do that is. Had one around here called Dimmits salvage yard. He paid fines for not doing what he was supposed to. He said it was cheaper that way.

This one saved my butt on the steel rims... only $25 each....

Yep, sometimes it is cheaper to just pay the fines....

There are times when they are helpful. Last few times I have been to one you could get it new about as cheap and a lot easier.
