Tomorrow I get to put in new spark plugs, because today we determined that when the ignition coil had to be replaced, about 4 months ago, the mechanic doing the repairs only replaced one of the spark plugs, instead of all four like he was supposed to! So now, they aren't quite firing right! Good news is... I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico...(okay that was baaaad. I know it. So Sue me)...I do have all of the tools necessary to complete this job on my own (including a mother who does know her way around cars, even if she acts like she doesn't anymore)!

Now if only the fucking phone would get here!

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] ohno_jonathan_o, I have a surprise for you....

Love you all, TONS!!!

I did do most of them myself. So it wasn't a big deal.

Good for you! I'll send you some of the kids' blocks to complete your car needs. *eg*

Is it a pony? Is it bigger than a bread box? Will I have to feed it? Or will it feed me? *shakes surprise vigourously*

I know one thing, I know its not Poki!!!

But you did more in one day than even the most motivated wouldn't do in a week. HAPPY GREEN LIGHT DAY and sorry I was such a YOU NEED TO DO...'guy' tonight. I just want A. to be the Bastard you want him to be, not a bastard to be grumbled about. I know its your car...I've kicked the tires, crawled underneath, and gave the 'official guy' seal of approval w/ NICE SCORE!(You'd earned a pat on the butt if this was football.) I tried to 'be helpful' about the first time unknown pains about "New" car issues and bueracratic hoops(Which you already knew anyways...) that I learned over a decade of trial and error and WISHED someone told me all those cars ago. I now say "That's my girl!" as you can legally tear down the street leaving only peelout marks behind(Fun, but so stupid that only "men" would wearout a tire for social status.)... So, when do I get shotgun?!?

I kinda cheated. I already told him! His CD finally got here! YAY! Much late Birthday Happiness!
I will see you tonight. We are going to try and make the cleansing ritual, but his...nevermind. I'll just explain tonight when I see you. It's easier that way.
