Haha yeah but I volunteered to work since it's supposed to be our holiday so if I called in sick it would probably **** him off.

Sorry, '80s Honda V4 cruiser guy here. :/

Got the car back from the shop today and the news was kinda shocking. Having only 29,900 miles on it now and sat most of it's life the only damage to the car are a set of warped rotors. The trans fluid and rear end were clean as a whistle.

Brondes charged me 10,395 for the car. It seems I may have gotten a better deal than I thought.

29,900 miles. I would say that's a hell of a deal.

I paid $14,400 for my pile in 2003 from the Lincoln/Mercury/Jeep dealer in BG. Had 13,900 miles on it then.

Actually found it with 29,715; tested it and took it home a week after they put it in inventory with 29,767 miles. Now it has probably 29,920. The really memorable thing about taking it home happened with the plate install. I was putting the temps on and the church down the street on Secor started ringing it's bells on a friggin monday night.
