THat rock bounced right from the bottom into my oil pan crushed the oil pick up into the shield in the oil pan. Shield almost went into the crankshaft but since I didnt try to drive the car it didnt do any damage it was just pressed against it. I think I got ripped off but since its so effing hard to get to the damn oil pan I didn't have the time to do it myself thats whats p****** me off. Basically now I have to get a second job during the week because I was barely making it by as it was.



Whoopy I just found a $10 coupon for repairs over $50 ......yay?

I have school Monday Thru Friday and I work on the weekends. I couldnt work one day last weekend so i'm losing money everyday I dont have a car. I just dont have the time to I would if I could. Lets just put it this way if you wanna replace your oil pan you might as well put long tubes in your car cause ford made the stupidest idea of making it so tight under the crossmember.

I did get some good news today that a old friend of mine is donating $300 to my need and I found out I am able to donate my blood plasma for about $180 a month passed the physicals and everything. And I'm most likely going to be working at SEARS again. Whoopy I can buy/take tools again. All I know i've saved a ton of gas this week.
