Well, after 3+weeks of being in the shop, It is supposed to be done tommorow. So lets see all that's changed since it went in

-Gas Prices
-My age (I took it in the week before i was 16)
-Alot of money is going into it
-A new moon
-New flowers..

Wow..

haha
Just kinda pumped up i might have it back, and have something to drive whenever. Now I have to get a job though..

It has changed physically at all. But it drives good, and the things that were bad, are good now. The brakes work a lot better, no play in the steering, and they fixed some lights and such as well. Only thing mechanical that must be done is the timing belt. It ended up being 300 bucks cheaper too.

Hey, good things come to those who wait. Yours was probably not the only job in the shop.
