Wow! I fill up at Shell every 3-4 days with a full tank and almost the whole staff knows me lol. At one time I was stuck at 19.5 until I reset the thingy and now its been around 21. You know where I can buy stock rims?

I think I found out why I had a bad vibration feeling... I opened my hood today to paint the wire covers red and saw that one of the dog bone mount things is broken. It is broken so badly that you can move the dogbone around with your hand. Could hitting a railroad cause that to happen? I can remove the bolts but I would rather leave it on until I can find out the name of the part and how to replace it. I added a pic which the part is hard to see but im sure you all know what it is.

Car is just falling apart on me lol. I "so called" had my engine rebuilt at 135k and im at 148k at the moment and its just falling apart. Im too scared to touch anything fearing that I will break something. While looking at that bracket thing I noticed that the top of the valve cover screw is not there... I guess he over torqued it because I can see the rest of the screw still in it :l Also noticed an oil pool that was hidden by the bracket. I have to change the valve covers and have no idea how to get that screw off :l

I brought it from a mechanic "as-is" :l It also has a rebuilt title so I was basically too dumb to pass it up. But thats the past and im glad I got it because I just love her! Thinking of just buying a scrap 3800 and fix it up on an engine stand and when im done just swap it out...
