well if you all are wondering i still dont have my car back yet, i'm driving my grandmothers Old's Ciera Death Trap...

couple things happened, i neede an exhaust manifold the forums were down so i went out looking in the junk yards and one of the non-you pull it places said they could have one the next day for $125 they needed payment in advance, i said ok i'll pay for it if you get it here the next day...major selling point and key point is NEXT DAY...

the next day comes arround, after work i go to pick it up, guy says it hasnt shipped (different guy) oh i said, well who do i talk to about a refund...he tells me. so i take my cracked manifold back and tell em ti slap it back on.

eventually i get down there to get my money back, the lying **** head that sold me the thing said he had called the next day at 10 am and left a message, i had checked the awnsering machine and the caller id history for the past week and they did NOT call, i asked him what number they called he read the right one so i said thats a load of bull **** and give me my money back. he said they had it, i said go get it, he types it up "oh it hasnt shipped untill early this morning" uh huh....money now i said...i get my money back after he "cut me a deal" instead of giving me the refund minus 20% of the total cost he gave me back an even $100...not quite 20% but not far from it...

it was supposed to be done today but shucks once again sold me the wrong part....the alternator belt they gave me that they said was for my alternator was really for my power steering, i had no way of checking it before hand how ever the other 2 belts fit along with the timing belt...

but i am just absoultly ****ed because so many god damned things have delayed me to get this thing done, every time i get in grandmas car i fear for my life

 

I remember when my car was down for a month when the tranny went south. Everything that you think can go wrong always does.....that's why I do the majority of the work myself. Unless I'm absolutely over my head.

i work to much to do this stuff my self, and i am so sick of working on opther peoples cars i dont really want to work on mine....doesent mean i dont maintain it though

 

I understand that.....but luckily for me, if I don't have the time, I have 2 other cars to drive.

well guess ****ing what....

i got my car back today....and....

IT HAS THE VALVE COVERS FROM A 300ZX ON THEM, A OLDER ONE

oh i am ****ing ****ed, they arent fitting right, they are dented and scratched up and discolored and they have different things on them like these things for the spark plug wires, things my old valve covers never had...

some of you may rember my valve covers were almost ****ing spotless, bright red no scratches almost creakin perfect, first time i posted a pick i accually got compliments from them...

it also knocks like a *****, more so than it used too which isnt quite right


so as you can imagine i am god damn ****ed right now, i'm requesting my uncle work on it so this type of **** doesent happen...

oh and also you'd think they'd be smart enough to seperate my car and the 300zx, like put it in a different bay so these things dont get mixed up but they PUT THEM RIGHT NEXT TO EACH ****ING OTHER

Edit:
Guess what?

THEYRE LEAKING!!!

 

Uh.....nice. Take it back and make them fix it. Any good shop warranties thier work...and they should have the car back in the same, if not better condition.
