Hornet stripped makeing the shifter inoperative and me haveing to get
the car towed. Luckily I have an "Old Fart's" towing plan through the
AARP so it didn't cost anything out of pocket. The guy that installed
the shifter fixed it temporarily buy spot welding the locking nuts to
the threaded cable end till I get a new cable. I had the guy install
new belts in my Malibu and asked what I owed him, he said nothing as
he was sorry I had the shifter problem in the other car. He even
picked up and delivered both cars from my house. I had the starter
replaced in the orange Hornet purely as a preventative maintaince
thing. It started 2 times and was parked outside of the garage, when
I went to start it to drive it home the starter drive would not
engage and the starter just spun. I am going to replace the carb
today and wonder if that is going to give me a problem too. I went to
get my Malibu inspected and the boss of this other shop jerked me
around and wanted me to leave the car for the whole day. I took it to
another shop were I know the owner and he said bring it back in an
hour and a half. When I did he found out he didn't have the saftey
only stickers and tried to print one out of his machine for 20 min.,
he said can you come back in 2 days? All of a sudden the machine
printed out my inspection sticker. It's been one of those weeks for
me. I was so disgusted that I took a "ME" day yesterday and rested up
and did nothing. I also had trouble with the new cell phone I got for
my wife too. After my wife came home the day before yesterday from
work she didn't lock the door and all of a sudden the door opens and
the old man that lives below me walks in as he went up one flight of
stairs to many and thought my apartment was his. How's that for a
week?????? Today I will be back to the old grid again. It is only
going to be 75 degree's and NO humidity. So how's that for the last 4
day's?
