Hahaha! That's pretty how we live here, if you're not rich. And you'd be lucky to find that.

I'm an Econ/Finance double. Engineering huh? Wow, nice. That's the one BS that is rated to be more lucrative over a career than, Finance. Good for you.

Fog rewire, replaced burned corner lamp with OEM.

Having trouble with the backup lights not burning, though. Checked bulbs and they're both fine. Can't find the "E83" fuse junction box referenced in the FSM.

Search is my friend...

Recieved my new Monroe Quick Struts for the front of my 02 SE. Took about an hour to install with none of the problems noted on the site. Did notice that the left strut was from a salvage yard, which explains why it leaned a bit and rocked side to side on dips and bumps. All is well now and car cruises down the road like it should.

Just bought myself a 97 pathfinder. Mechanically sound... Needs a little body work as you can see, but I got it for $600. My dads about to buy a boat and want to keep it at my house. So I need something to tow the boat!

Finally replaced the driver's power seat slide motor. It wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be. Took me around 2 hours.

Go to superbrightleds.com, you can search on the website by gauge cluster. It's a really easy job.
