I went there because I hate my dealer with a passion. They totally condescended me about the check engine light. But apparently there isn't a car mechanic in the world who won't try to assrape you on the basis of your gender.

I used to date a guy up in your neck of the woods who knew cars inside and out. I wish I could, in good conscience, send you to him for an opinion. But he's a real asshole. And despite the fact that I don't think he'd steer you wrong on cars, you seriously don't want to know him. Plus I'm not sure if he lives up there anymore anyway.

When we dated he owned something like 14 cars. He used to keep them all on blocks in his parents' yard. But then the city got on them about ordinances and such and he had to move them. But he didn't want to get rid of any of them. So he'd trade favors to people to be able to park his cars in their lots/garages/sheds/fields/whatever. One night he took me driving all over the greater Philadelphia area looking at all of his cars. *sigh* Oh yes, I dated some real "winners"...
