    mine was good from far, but far from good.

    1. recieved Intense's UIM for turbo

    1bad: box was torn open on 2 sides, and manifold was exposed......

    2. had a good day driving to work in the warm 50degree weather

    2bad. coming out to my car when it is -10, with -47* wind chill.

    3. good news...my car started after the 5th crank in the cold weather

    3bad. died after 30sec of running, started again, started chugging and threw a code, then died again.

    4. car fired back up and stayed running with a code. let the car warm up to 130ish then I started to drive out of the parking lot.

    4bad. came up to the light to stop and my RF brake locks up...and stays locked.

    5. I floored it..brake unlocks and I am on my way home...only when driving I see my temp gauge start to decend.

    6. I make it home ok, with no heat, my car was still freezing...ngine didnt heat up.

    oh well, tomorrow is suppose to be just a tad bit warmer.

    I hate winter

    They found it 3 days later in a town about 36 miles from here...
    We got a 2008 Dodge caravan to drive Awsome Van lol
    Anyways while going over the truck and fixing some things back up

    Mine sucked. Had my Sebring broken into Saturday night. They popped the center dash section off and started pulling wires. Not sure what they were after, don't know why they'd want my factory cassette deck… They ended up only getting a visor holder w/10 burned CDs. Looooosseerrrrrs. In the process, they shorted out the HVAC control head. Had to take it in yesterday cause it was stuck blowing a/c out the defroster. brrrrrr. $75 for diagnosis of a part that's on back order, and $108 at that. Found one at a salvage for $35, plugged it in, and yay, heat!

    Lots more personal stuff on top of that, but that's all I care to mention

    Sorry about your car, and yeah, while I don't mind cooler weather, I hate the crap like the advisory we're currently under in NEOK, after it being 55° yest morning, and then suddenly an hour later it's 30°.

    The weather is weird, so I am certain to get sick again.

    Christine is still possessed. I had 1/4 tank of gas this a.m., then drove a few miles had 3/4 tank of gas, and now I'm back down to just under a half. Supposed to be getting that fuel pump switched out again tomorrow to fix the relay, which has now set off the SES light again. Yeah right. I'll believe it's fixed when it's really fixed.

    Doing end of year accounting for the office, which I despise.

    And I wish I had a cup of coffee for every retarded question I was asked.

    But still my day is better than you guys are having! Hope your luck changes.

    Does today count??? First Dave goes to pick up his parts at UPS (we have some of our stuff held there since we need our parts in the morning and never know when they will show up) and they weren't there because of the snow storm in Chicago and there is a customer waitng on these parts. Then we try paying our internet bill over the phone and it says that we are having technical difficulties aghhh go down there and stand in line for 15-20 cuz everyone in Fort Wayne decides to go to Comcast to pay their bill also and only 2 people working. Then we get home and Dish Network decides to take more money out of our account they have already taken about $20 out in the last 2 days because they haven't received their equipment back we had 10 days to send it back and we got the boxes 2 days ago!!!! And we sent it out yesterday. They said that they keep taking money out until they get the equipment back which they said will be $500 then we get credited back the money. They should wait the 10 days then start taking money out, Dave called them on Monday and Tuesday and both people said that there would not be any more charges and well that was a lie!!! So yea Dave was not very happy when he called. If you guys are ever looking for satillite TV DON"T USE DISH NETWORK!!!! They are horrible we have had nothing but problems with them since the first day, we tried canceling it but we would have had to pay $700 to get out of it. Anyways our 18 month contract is up and we could not be happier!!! That was how our day has been so far.

    you do know the phone payments are the second highest form of credit card fraud behind store? Online has the best track record the last few years (less than 20% of transactions have fraud compared to 30% at just Wal-Mart) it's easy for the person on the phone to write your card number down and go use it until you notice, and you have no clue who they are

    Yup I know, it's usually an automated person but we just have it taken out of our account every month if that company offers to that. If not we call if we have forgotten to make a payment that month.
