I'll explain the upside down steering wheel. I feel like it's my fault. Putting the subframe back in I forgot about the steering shaft. So, I had to muscle that thing in. We had one of Wayne's friends sitting in the car so that the steering wheel could be controlled. I was having her turn it left and right, but when it all finally came together the wheel was upside down. I forgot to keep tabs on that and pay attention to what was going on with that. When all was said and done that wheels were straight, but the wheel was upside down. The funny thing is, the person in the car didn't say anything until we were all done and just about to lower the car from the jacks. I felt like an idiot.

Wayne, I'll put in the wrench time to help fix that. Unfortunately, I probably won't be available for another 2 weeks. I might be able to squeeze you in next weekend if it rains on saturday, or on after 12 noon on sunday.

Hey don't worry about the wheel, the car is drivable, and that was the goal. LOL I think that was Suzanne's way of getting back at us for having her hold the brakes, after we didn't need them held anymore. And I'm pretty sure its something I can fix. All I really need I think is a steering wheel puller.... I've had the air bag and out of there b4, and it can't be to much harder to do. It just seems weird when I'm driving...

Well, you're in luck. I happen to have a steering wheel puller in my red tool box. So, I can help with that.

Yeah the winds were epic up here last night. Our power was flickering on and off for about an hour. It was hilarious....my roomate was playing Madden '09 on live and only the TV and one light in our condo kept cutting off....but the PS3 would remain on. So like the other guy was beating his ass since the TV kept cutting off on my roomate during plays. Finally my roomate just said **** it and turned the PS3 off. I'm sure the other guy was pissed off about that but owell.

We have a little bit of snow up here too.

Ooh ooh I know! NOT driving in the snow.

My ass isn't leaving my condo today. Its gonna be a long day of job searching online (mostly Monster.com), working on my resume, eating, posting on .net, and playing video games.

Yeah I hear ya. Well, if something doesn't present itself here soon in terms of employment for me.....I might have to join you there in the military. My unemployment pay/tax return/last check from my employer cashing out vacation is only gonna keep my afloat for a few months. After that....i'm screwed. I'd sell my car, but who wants to buy a semi-high mileage 2.4SS that has $7,000 worth of **** done to it right now in a **** poor economy. I only have a high school diploma and some college.....so if I can't find someone, the military might be my only option to keep my head above water.

Just keep your eyes open and you'll find something. Nothing ever works out when you make a pressured decision. You'll just end up hating it in the end. Have a little more patience.

ohhh shut the hell up blah blah what you think danew is doing supporting the war while he's ova their

try the other side. lol

November Josh? Unless you're the type to hand wash your car, then there's no excuse for that. Of course, I still don't think it's as dirty as mine. lol

Well, for the last month I haven't even had a job, so a drive through car wash is out of the question. Plus the weather always sucks. AND I don't have anywhere to hand wash it since I lived in an apartment, and now I live in a condo....neither have outside water.
