My dad is mobile, he's done plenty of headlines at peoples houses, worst case, if needed, he goes to you, removes the headliner, takes it home, and brings it back to you for install. And yea he replaces window regulators, and greases the window tracks and all that good stuff.

Need to get in touch with him?

I'll make sure of that next time, last time, the car was on the ground and done when they called me to come pick it up.

No matter what car I get, I wont be able to weld a custom exhaust, nore will I be able to mount and balance tires on my own at home, jack ass.

Yea that's right, you took your car to a shop so they could put your spare tire on for you. I bet you asked them to balance that limited use spare for free too.

I would have left your car on the rack until your dumb butt put some money in my hand.

You should just give your car to your gf, I bet she knows how to change a tire at least.

Oh yea, I forgot I took my car to firestone to have a spare put on, I guess you dont know how to read because they couldnt even figure out the spare so I had to pretty much do it, the only thing they truely did was jack one corner of the car up, and use the impact on my wheels, . And my car was never on the lift, nore was it even in the shop

Your attempt at trying to crack jokes is worse then my attempt at trying to have a nice car.






BUT on a better note, the car is on the road again, and sure stop took care of the problem. It wasnt easy tho because the shop owner was being a straight dick, trying to argue, and telling me that when my car left the shop, the brake line wsnt near the exhaust. So IDK what he thinks happened? I installed a magical brake line, or I burned my own brake line on purpose? IDK, but I've learned my lesson for now.

That's what I thought, you couldn't even change your own tire.

Oh, and if it makes you happy. I would have left your car on the "jack", since we are being all technical here. ... Which mean you just built the longest run-on sentence on TR this year. At least you can build something right?
