My final cost tally of bringing used 80 to fully serviced - DIY

FWIW.....
Safelite glass is crap.
it is thinner than ppg or pilkington and more prone to chips than either ppg or pilkington.
Do not file this through your insurance, and never give your insurance info to those jask asses that call and see if you would like to get a new windsheild for free. they are scammers and will charge your insurance company big$$$ in order to cover your deductible.
Listen to the other guys. look in the phone book for a glass shop with no 800 number and you will probably be happy. If they are offering Free anything they are ripping someone off.

Scott,

I just want to be able to start either one up, and head off wherever without a care in the world. Being willing to drive a car with 130k plus on the clock and having that attitude means staying on top of everything. Now I can relax a bit, but never before. You must have missed the episode in Feb where I'd already ordered the starter parts, etc from Dan and the new truck's starter stuck on! Anyhow, now I can kick back a bit...

Bwaahaahaa! The guy who has to have his hammock near an outlet!

Feels great now and is clearly faster than the 93 somehow.

The reason is intuitively obvious to the casual observer.


































Vastly superior tranny.

I only need the outlet so I can plug in the laptop on the deck so I can lay in the hammock and surf MUD! Heh..

OK, deducted the following to get a tally of $1090.11


Rear fog
Hella 4000s
Hella FF Worklamp rear flood
Napa switches
Touch up stick
Floor mats
HIR headlamp bulbs
Key blank
Cupholder (c'mon, a man's gotta have his latte'..)
Airlift rear air springs
WheelSkin steering wheel cover.

That's a reasonable number, eh?

My, my.

Wrong side of the bed this mornin' Rick?

Actually a long day, large steak and 3 Bottles of Bass.

Sorry Doug, I could have been gentler.
