...In Which Anthony Goes all Squeeeee!

[antoniusrex]

I got my car back! I got my car back! Ain't that just awesome! I got my car back! yaaaaay!

I gotta say, I love how the original little dent/scratch thing on the door is still there, but the rest of the car is beautifully waxed and painted. It's funny, actually.

But the door no longer squeeches when I open it, so, rockit!

Hooray Anthony! Your joy takes me back to the last time I drove cross-country, when my car broke down in the middle of Salt Lake City on a nice 100-degree day in late August. I brought it to the mechanic, who insisted that the engine had seized and had to be replaced. After an evening of resignation and woe, I called my mechanic out here in Amherst and initiated a negotiation with the mechanic in SLC, asking him to twist this bolt that way and that bolt the other way, which revealed that the problem was not the engine at all, but the starter motor.

WOO-HOOOO!!!!

OK, I'm in a bit of a loopy mood, been studying for the last 12 hours. I'm happy for you man! Especially being of a SoCal persuasion. Life, please resume normalcy. :-)

Talk about a salty bake!

What? What?

Thanks. I appreciate the whole having my home back again. Cuz, really, that's what it's like not having my car--being homeless. I live in that damn thing.

Wow, Amherst mechanics seem to be really good. My friends oxlahun and jadefu swear by their Amherst mechanic even though he's out of the way for them now. Does your guy do Volvos?

(I'm presuming you mean Amherst, MA, here....)

Yeah, he is good. It also helps that he used to be a student in my department (Econ).
