    absolutely bugger all due to being mechanically inept! give me a factory to wire, consider it done. put me in front of an engine bay

    and to prove that 260 pounds of that was getting my sump taken off welded and put back on....all due to a little accident i had when trying to do something..

    It's just the luck of the draw with these cars. I probably spent less than half of that on repairs in the past 130k miles.
