The empty key chain

[Voodoo.Priest]

My key chain looks so empty without my huge Toyota Corolla GT-S key on it.

On the plus side I got a realy good new mechanic who's fixing my car fast and cheap. His shop rate is only $40/h!?! The guy fixed my leaky headders (turned out to be from the O2 sensor gasket) and my engine to stop running like shit in less than an hour and for less the $100. Since he did such a great job I have him fixing other stuff on my car as well now.

The one thing that pisses me off though was why my engine was running really bad. It was because the Toyota dealership did a crappy job at installing my new timming belt i had put in a couple years ago when I replaced the entire cooling system. So the timming was out... And all this time I thought it was a ECU or ignition problem.

So all I got to say to Burlington Toyota is For now on if I need parts I'll go to Oakville Toyota... probably not cuz I don't want to waste gass but they'll definatly never touch my car again.

ya hopefully by the end of this month the car will be 100% mechanically sound. The cosmetic damage may remain for now.

I got my car back this morning and it runs great now. My funds are low now so i cant fix the remaining critical problems this month cuz i got some other bills to take care of.

Next month I'll be having my front struts replaced, new front springs, new ebrake cable and replace the last wheel bearing I haven't replaced yet. And mabey if I have some money left over some new winter tires.

On a side note I passed my last ever emissions test legit!?! Muhahahaha! I keep looking down at the catalayic converter and thinking mabey I'll cut it off cuz in 2006 my car is classic and no longer regulated by emissions laws.
