I need to replace my front brakes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You gotta stay on top of that shit man, that tire is a blowout waiting to happen. I hope for your sake you just have a pusted hose clamp or something thats an easy fix...

my problem is i expect the woman to pay attention to the crap with her car. but im learning she doesnt ever do it. the raditor wouldnt be a hard thing to change on her car tho. but i still dont want to do it. its like 2 bolts and 2 screws holding a brace/clam in place and it slides right out. gotta love old cars. figure if i have to do it i might as well go ahead and give it a tuneup like i've been saying im gonna do for the last month and replace the smog pump so i can put her a/c belt back on her car.

i did that to her car about a yr ago, already starting to hear the beginings squeaks of her pads being worn down.

Just put an Alpine head unit into the new E-150, 1 1/2-DIN kit went together perfectly.

Now going out to lunch and picking up a panel puller while I'm out, prying the sail panels off without one is a PITA.

I wouldnt mind finding a cheap well running CRX or something LOL. My credit is tapped out ATM just bought my wife a new car and a 40k student load kinda lowered my credit score.

bad credit?

pretty much. but it is getting better. have always paid every loan i've had on time, but whats killing me are some old cc bills from several yrs back. paid off one of them. got one more left to take care of.

i have terrible credit (read bankruptcy on almost 40K in CC after not paying for years) and i started using a local credit union.. built a good relationship with them and in less than 2 years they let me get a new car... interest rate is sort of high, 11%, but that isnt really bad for someone with my credit history. The also said pay for a while and then they would refinance it for me at a lower rate.
