I just had to spend $400 on a clutch, pressure plate and flywheel today. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

if that includes labor, that's a good price from my knowledge

And yes, I drive like a granny due to gas prices. A year ago, I drove a '94 626 that got 30mpg driving it like i stole it. It was a very fun car to drive fast, so I did it often. Then, it died and finances dictated the purchase of a cheap 01 Taurus. It gets terrible fuel mileage and it is the OPPOSITE of "fun to drive". And now gas is twice what it was when I had my old car. So for these reasons, i drive like an absolute granny. I'm talking 60mph max and VVVEEEEEERY slow starts. I don't think the car has even seen 3,000 rpms. And driving it all granny-like nets me ........ 17mpg //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
