Sweet. I know where there's a Hyundai dealer near my house. You can sleep in the living room for the night, and the next day we can wreak some car-related havoc.
Becks, thanks for being my servicing back-up. Not that there's been much serving going on anyway, but still.

Happy New Year, gang!!
Back from Brazil where I left an airport with a temp of about 120F to Houston to 3F in Chicago!! UUF! Delays left and right.
Glad to be back at home with the pets and watching the Maple Leafs (DAMN, scored as I type) vs. Red Wings playing at the Big House (stadium of the Univ of Michigan). Damn, whatta game!
Speaking of hockey, what is this I hear about Cleary taking a puck to the teeth and losing some 10 the other day?!? Yeah, they aren't really into hockey in Rio. Pix to come. I took one just for you, HB. Little skimpy bikini that I'll post when I get over delayed flight nightmares and jet-lag. Funny as I am now back in winter weather with a sunburn!

it was morning for you there. and look it is again. then again I feel like cracking a coke to start 2014. my milk is off.
Anyway, if the boot is torn you can replace the boot, the whole axle may not need replacing. Which Acura? if you did the trans, engine is decent? tires and brakes ok? you might get a couple of years out of it. if anything big comes up I would shoot it and move on though.
Happy new year. Go on the price is right. some woman just won an audi worth 150K

now, what kind of car, what is wrong with the axle, and how many miles on it? if you sell it then what is your replacement budget?
I just booked my daughters car in for repairs. oh what fun that is. new battery in a cobalt, $250 (stupid trunk mounted battery). now a new serpentine belt, most cars I could replace in 30 min, this one I started reading directions and gave up, but for a mechanic its over 1 hour. on the bright side I won a raffle at work for custom install of heated seats, which is what my daughter misses most now about the long dead elantra.

As she drank, she swiveled around on the stool and took in the view of the cafe. With the Sad Wings album playing in the jukebox, she started to remember the good times had here. The food, the coversations. The place certainly had a friendly atmosphere back then. She could lament the loss of the Cafe of yesteryear, but she won't. There's been too much of that already and not enough action being taken.
After finishing her drink, Vail pondered whether to return to her home or to stick around. After doing some thinking, she decided upon the latter. Who knows? Maybe some of the patrons will arrive after the holidays.
