12/06 - Replaced thermostat & two window roller thingies in driver side window $30 in parts + $40 Haynes Manual (Dad fixed!)
Current miles: 166,450

Current problems: Theft alarm is broken so I removed the fuse; Sunroof clip is broken, (not paying $$$$ to get that fixed, I just don't use it); SID is going bad; Oil leak from head gasket; Brake Light Failure warning comes on every few days but no light is out; Headlight wipers are broken (dealer said $500 to fix, ha ha!!); One of my fog lights isnt working, bulb was replaced to no avail (again, just dont use them); manual tranny slips out of 2nd gear sometimes;...I think that's all for now. I thank God every day it gets me to work and back without a new problem errupting. Ive been very loyal to OC's and services,but...on my salary it seems I should be driving a Hyundai instead.
