WildCard Posted November 4, 2016 Report Posted November 4, 2016 My battery died coming home in rush hour on a 3 lane highway. I have had two separate times with this, two separate shops said it was fine. Also, if you see someone broken down, move to the next lane you pos. Felt like I was gonna die

Felt like I was gonna die So, you need a new alternator, then?
WildCard Posted November 4, 2016 Report Posted November 4, 2016 So, you need a new alternator, then?I'm assuming so. About $300?
darksabre Posted November 4, 2016 Report Posted November 4, 2016 I'm assuming so. About $300? Probably. I would suggest doing it yourself because it's typically an easy job, but it looks like Ford made yours a pain in the ass to get to. There's a couple YouTube videos out there. See if you want to tackle it. Should only take you an hour tops.
qwksndmonster Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 I just met my new nephew. Today was a tough day, but that just made it great.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 Bump ... I am a Peacenik from Dubrovnik, as you know. That does not mean that I do not appreciate the sacrifices that our veterans have made, especially today ... Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the US. Thank you very much for your service.
biodork Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) A couple of weeks ago my stepmom had interviewed for a job, and after not having heard anything, she figured they'd decided to go with someone else. Yesterday they called to tell her that they did decide to hire someone else, but that they had another position for which they thought she'd be a great fit, and offered it to her without the need to interview again. She already did her drug test and filled out a bunch of paperwork today, and she should be able to start working either later next week or the one after. Hallelujah!!!

I've never hit the lottery, but the feeling of landing a good job and winning the lottery have to be close. Cheers for stepmom! Probably.

Absolutely! She's been unemployed for a year and her unemployment benefits were set to run out in a couple of weeks, so thank God that very soon she'll have health insurance and a steady paycheck again.

Watch a YouTube video, wrap your head around the task, make sure you have ALL the tools. And go for it. Can't be afraid.

JujuFish Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 It's the weekend. I have no responsibilities this weekend and I finally joined the current gen by buying a PS4 Pro.

darksabre Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 god bless salted roads Being a car guy and living in the Northeast is a curse. I'm jealous of all the people who live in states where they can drive cool cars year round and not actively destroy them. We don't get our money's worth up here. But I love living here.
