Default Big thanks to Lt1Formula007

My wife had an interview at my work this morning and with the cold I decided to take my wife.

Took my car and I am not even a mile away and my coolant temps jump threw the roof. I am almost home and the temps DROP like a rock. To be safe I tell her we will take her car...

Get up to the Methodist Hospital area on 65N and the temps jump threw the ROOF!!!!!!!

Long story short I had to get it towed to James shop and while he was waiting on parts for another car he changed out my thermostat, took it for a test drive ect ect.... works great now and was only and hour or so late for work.

Now I just have to hope that the anti freeze is old and the thermostat was frozen for a minute or so on my car. It will suck working on it in the cold tonight....

LOL- NO your figuring skills are wrong!
In the Total labor part on your receipt it says 47.00
Under that it says 2.00 for environmental (for antifreeze).
and if you add the 45.00 labor I charged you to put in the T-Stat and the 2.00 envir. fee, It will add up to 47.00!
Then all of the other stuff such as parts, Tow-In, and etc. will equal your total!

Just take the $2.00 off of the environmental fee(as in forget about it, it's only there to show where the $2 is coming from on the total labor). Because it is added into the total labor section. Labor was $45 and environmental was $2. If you add everything up from top to bottom and forget about the $2.00 from the environmetal fee section and it will come out right!

Do I need to show you how to add it up?

Im not lucky, you just throw like a special ed kid....

Granted if you would have hit me in the face I would have hung you from the ceiling fan!

I still thing what you did to the cashier was worse.... she just cleaned that floor hahaha.

Yes, the ladies room was rather clean lol. I had a bad feeling about the men's.

If anyone wants a bite to eat go to this place by the shop..... $4.00 for a medium OJ!!!!!!! The cinomin (sp?) toast was killer though, made with home made bread!



We figured that if we would have had it towed to my house it would have cost just as much in the end.

Dude we have so much fun at my work. It's crazy sometimes...
It's the only place I've worked where we play tricks on each other DAILY!!!

Last summer I Bag-Tagged my boss and he had to go to the hospital like a week later b/c they still hurt. lol
And then I poured a whole gallon of soapy water on him b/c he sprayed me with the water hose.
He got me back though.
Lets just say I had a piece of duct tape on my license plate that said "***" for a whole day.
So I put a rainbow sticker that I bought at a store "Just for him" on his license plate of his cadillac STS-V at ORP and everyone was looking at him like WTF!
Man we have some FUN!!!
Later man. BTW I'll get the 400 turbo trans. off of you in a few days.

I got the Z moved over quite a bit last night, thing weighs next to nothing now. I could almost push it over.

Since the right rear spring is a little stiffer when I jacked up the front I had to put a jack under the passenger side A arm and then push down on the front passenger side of the car and kick a jack under the driver side a-arm.

When you come over Ill get you to help me with the hatch right quick unless I can talk my wife into it.

Tonight I will try and get the rest of it organized, once you get the tranny Ill put the took box there. Ill be able to get the IROC in there pretty easy, If I have to push the Z out me and one other person should be able to get it back in up the driveway pretty easy.
