Top of the mid-mornin' fellers!

I found this handy tool on Amazon for creating a secure place to use a pry bar for LCA's. I figured for 10 dollars, I'll give it a whirl.

You want to know why you're seeing the uptick? Nobody can afford a new car.

that is a very good point, i didn't think of that until now but youre right

the least on my F150 is under 500/mo with 15K mileage per year. that same lease today is over 700, just about the same as financing

I have one and it is very useful.
Allows you to pry the control arm down and line up the ball joint with your other hand.

I'm keeping everything that I have running until it dies, and then I might still revive it. I hate car payments... with a passion.

Well that is really good to hear. I kept seeing them pop up in videos, and they looked like a really good addition to my FWD service tools.

so i found out that the kid that left at the end of last year, without coming out and saying it, he misses it here and regrets leaving, i told my boss, absolutely not, not after he left this department like he did, along with his attitude. none of the techs miss him and well he burned so many bridges when he left

Surprised your vehicles didn't crumble with as cold as it's been out there. Never heard of it that cold anywhere.

Figure of speech.

Sounds good, could of went for a few chocolate covered w/sprinkles or a hefty cinnamon roll. That would of hit the spot with a fresh cup of high octane. Specially on a cold morning.

Tasty!
