Evening everyone.

I'm still feeling some muscle pain in my left calf. Making it hurt to walk. Gonna see the doctor about it. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

The Monte needed manifold gaskets last week. And replaced the original 2004 spark plugs and wires while they had things apart.

This morning on the way home from work, my Passlock warning came back. Right on schedule. I'm getting Passlock problems every 3 months for the past year or so. And 5 minutes after the Passlock warning came on, the traction control system failed again.

The traction control system has been failing now and then for the past 6 months. The fun of owning an 11 year old car.

Good evening everyone, got to take Carloss into the country side and enjoy the sunshine, not the cold but the sun was nice. Still enjoying not having the shaking in the car anymore, you don't realize just how bad it was until it is gone, but of course now my traction/abs light is staying on, I am fairly certain it is weather related as I think moisture got inside when we had all the wet weather and now with it freezing it seems to be acting up, but I'm not worried about it at the moment as yesterday when it was warmer it was not on lol, kinda like Taz said "the joys of owning a 12 year old car" but I still smile every time I drive it so it's all good

Hope everyone enjoyed their day

Did you sell the 'Dart ? Which one do you enjoy driving the most ?

Wish you & member's a safe & happy day (even @ work)
Official graduation date is june 26th, i dont have a picture handy right now, but her car is a 2007 pontiac g5 gt. I sadly have not sold the dart yet.. Grandmas car is not on the road, and i've mostly been using the buick with the bad weather. Not sure which i enjoy the most, each car has its perks.

Had 2 managers have a chat with me over the last 2 days about my attitude and outbursts towards having to be a cashier and bail out the front end. It genuinly pisses me off getting taken away from my work and i get visibly pissed. Both managers said i'm better than that though, kind of makes me think. Though i'm not sure how i can change really.

Injured it at work last month. I thought it was a pulled muscle. But it feels like one of the muscles or tendons is not in the right spot. Like I tore something.

Good evening EV1!

Lou...
I don't know how long its been an issue with your leg/ankle..
A pulled and or dislocated tendant is nothing to fool with..

I would have gone to the doc after the first day or 2 if you didn't feel it getting any better..A ripped torn Tendant can also cause you to lose the ability to walk.. (I had to learn this first hand) So, I speak from experience.. I wouldn't wait any longer than necessary. I would even consider going to a clinic to get some support for it until you can see a doctor..I would recommend an orthopedic doctor.

Feeling better the cold/flu is finally starting to subside.
evening EV1!
