Oh yeah, and not to mention before that I had a 91 CivicHB with many mods. Long story short shit got broken into over night, had the whole thing investigated. Come to find out the building next door had a camera mounted on there roof aimed at the shops back fenced area. Showed Fuckers from shop cutting there own lock off fence, going str8 to my car breaking window, and stealing everything.

Knew the whole thing was shady when I got the call the next morning and was told car was broken into, when I went up there it was even more obvious that they did it. 1 thing I just wanna say " THANK YOU PROGRESSIVE ! .... NICE FAT CHECK FOR THAT SHIT !!! ".... Junked the car after parting it out.

Fiend took his ride to Wal-mart for quick oil change since he worked there and didn't have time to do it himself and he also knew one of the mechanic there. Make a long story short his friend didn't work on the car some other idiot did and tighten the oil drain plug with an impact gun....needless to say he needed a new oil pan when all the threads were gone....told him he deserved it for going to those dudes....the mechanic who is also a friend said one of the guys there didn't latch the hood on a truck and the truck went down the road and the hood came unlatched an broke the windshield.....guess they hire anyone to work at Wal-mart TLE

Yay, this guy made a thread.

Let me see if I can guess the type of driving you do:

1) You are convinced that putting your auto tranny in the gear you want the car to be in during acceleration helps you go faster.

2) You are convinced that downshifting the car while slowing down will...do something, whatever the reason, you do it all the time.

3) You rev the can in nuetral, and drop it into gear to get that extra "oomph" at launch.

4) You think your car isn't stock because it has a fartcan on it.

5) You think your Probe is anything other than...a Probe.


I'm trying my harddest to imagine how you could think it's not your fault that you are going through transmissions.

in reference to the double gasketed guy. unfortionately i did that too myself once i felt like such an idiot but the lift was only 1 mile away from home and got it all fixed.

tread quarters on mercury ripped me off when i had 18's on my lowered sonoma. tire was losing air so i went there and had it sealed then a week later i went back and they said i needed a new tire but i hadn;t gotten paid so i said seal it again and i will get a new tire when i get payed(next 5 days) well i bought a new tire then a week later i lost air again. this time i took the rim off and realized there was a crack in my rim and i went back to confront them and yeah i didn;t yield any results so my perfectly fine tire from before was probably resold and i had to get the crack welded up sucks cause the crack was extremely obvious so they knew what they were doing and i should have looked more closely.

So you're blaming your tranny problems on the shop.. but you're getting used trannies.
