MEN!!!!!!!!!!! PFFFT

The shop just called me to say.........

they cannot do my alignment til Monday because the upper and lower ball joints are out????

Did I NOT tell this guy while he was already under there doing the lift kit to go ahead and change out sway bars, tie rods, bushing and BALL JOINTS???
He kept acting like HE didn't think they were out! Now I have to wait til Monday just to find a place to replace all that crap and THEN go get an alignment done. WTF? Why did he tell me he was done if he didn't do what I asked him to? I FLAT OUT TOLD him the whole point was so I wouldn't have to be without her twice, so could he just do it all now, but NOOOOOO.


MEN NEVER LISTEN!

That's my rant, gonna go finish my beer now.

Too funny. There are only a couple people on earth who are allowed to work on my junk because of stuff just like that... I have to do it all myself - if I want it done the way I like it!

But you're right, we never listen to gurls - especially about mechanical stuff!!!!

A classic Mustang site I used to be at all the time differentiated between girls (the wimmenly female kinda wimmens), and Grrls (the wimmenly female kinda wimmens that love to wrench, who's idea of fingernail polish is Ford grease).



The problem with some men (the idjit kind) is they have no clue how to spot those kinds of wimmen folk.

Well I like my fingernail polish, I just like it covered up with grease

My hubby used to say I never knew when to crawl outta my hood. And if I had a safe surface to change my own parts, I probably would tackle it. But as you can see in the "what did you do to your ex today" thread. I live on sand and it's not safe to jack it up here. I'm gonna have to build that shop with lift soon. Sigh. After I finish up on the EX stuff for now, next is a pipe fence and shop.
