  1. Not complaining about that at all. Actually we are all (The Georgia Crowd anyway) actually quite happy about that. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  2. anytime! Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  3. make J take pictures and video. I think that'd be fun to watch. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  4. I got nothing. I too need entertainment. Not even one boobie pic was sent to me today. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  5. OK, with that " leak in the rear was disintegrating everything in the rear" yes, if you get a wheel cylinder leak it will make a damn mess, replace the shoes (now ya gotta do both sides), turn the drums, and maybe the hardware (springs, keepers, etc) A leak in the front would have been very noticable as the vehicle would have been pulling to the left or right, and it will have to fixed right now. That labor rate isnt too bad. Good luck to ya! Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  6. When i saw the title I was thinking about Pop Rocks. is that wrong? Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  7. What is a DZ?? I only go when the weather is nice, member i'm quarter hippie. Youre a quater hippie? I'll have to see some papers on that one! Cuz even a quarter hippie would show their head on the occasional bad weather day.

  8. Im a quitter. Ive quit many times over the years, but this time it was for real. November 1, 2004, and I still have the 5 or 6 that was left in the pack when I quit. I use it as a reminder of how hard it was to make it those first few days. For me, it wasnt the fact that I needed to quit. My grandfather died of Emphazema, and my Grandmother of respirtory complications. I just decided I wanted to be healthier. i'd smoked for 14 years and it was catching up with me. Slowing me down, and it will do the same to you. good luck.

  12. --------------------------------- Different markets bear different labor rates, but even in Chicago anything over 120/hr means your gettin prison love on your first day in.

  15. You must be really bored today. You actually did the shopping for him! I just guessed. Oh, and IMHO if you replace one caliper, replace them BOTH! In older vehicles you could get into a situation where it would pull to one side or the other if you only replace one. and J is right on with the labor. i think I could make that repair happen in a shop environment (lift, pneumatic tools, etc) in about an hour. In a good shop that means you just got paid for two hours, in one. also IF the rotors are salvageable (most are not if you hear griding) you could have them turned for around 20 per side. Thats just as good as new then. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  16. Nope I didn't watch the show... Thats a great idea. I prefer the same. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865
  17. Ok mechanic 101 stuff 1) Grinding is bad, usually means you're destroying what ever components are making the noise. Fix Immediately. 2) most leaks become visible quickly, you should be able to see spots in your driveway and/or on your vehicle 3) leaks dont cause systems to fail, the absence of fluid causes systems to fail. no matter how bit the leak, IF you can keep the fluid at the proper level, it wont fail. in your case the "brake grinding noise" is most likely due to your brake pads or shoes no longer have any braking material left on them. so, your griding the piece that held that material (metal) against the rotor or drum (metal). Generally causing an expensive failure. But really costs for parts alone should be similar to this: brake pads (per set) $ 25-45 Rotors (per wheel) 45-75 master cylinder (non anti-lock brakes) 75-175 there are a slew of other parts that could be "leaking" or "griding", but what ive discussed above is the most common cause of a grinding noise. You could also have a leaking brake caliper or cylinder (depending on if its disc or drum brakes, respectively). There are repair kits for most of them, but a replacment is a better idea. A caliper could cost you as much as 150-225 depending on supplier. Mind you all of this is just, round about figures. I used to work in a shop, and I still do most of my major auto maintenance. Most shops are above $60 per hour for labor now too. 1200 for what you described is most likely a highway robbery.

  18. [shakes head] Karen, Karen, Karen...women don't need to pay for deck! Just wink and you get all the deck you could want for free! Well, women really only need to know one word to get laid: Yes. Cuz if a girl walks up to me, looks me in the eyes, and says "Yes". (not "yes?") Its on! Sadly, they never do that.

  19. What she said, and you'll need to add time to your check in, and security delays also. oh, and hope that the climb/decent doesnt affect its ears and it starts whining/barking. Others will mostly want to strangle you for that. Good luck.

  20. At least until the first major boogie you go to. Not if you claim your someone else. It throws the dogs off your scent. Yeah, like me. That girl you met wasn't really Swedishcelt it was... yeah, ok... I got nothing. I cant hide anywhere. Im known to the masses.

  21. Cuz I should be working, but I'd rather f'off than work on the crap I have to do. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865

  25. FN is typically found on laptop keyboards so you can combine keys. I'm guessing you're on a desktop and she's on a laptop. To sum it up.. you can just use the page down key and get the same effect. Geez Kitty, youre such a geek!
