Turned out that the owner of the shop we took it to, my mom knew him..but no discount.boo!! lol - Christian Brothers Automotive...its a franchise, but man their shops are really nice.
Ended up replacing the starter, battery cable (it was frayed pretty bad at the end) and the oil pressure sending unit. GF paid 600 dollars but peace of mind we wouldnt be stuck in the middle of the desert..


They have a lot of those here in Houston. Mom always recommended the one by her work. Took my S-10 there in college for a cracked radiator, quoted me $800. I laughed and asked him if they were putting a gold one in. I bought the radiator, hoses, clamps and fluid for $90 and had it swapped out in 30 mins. I realize you have to pay your costs and make a profit, but 1000%.

Wow, thats crazy for the radiator. The starter was qouted for 400 something, a little more than what we paid for last year here, but has a better warranty. I was looking at their franchise info and it doesnt look like its a bad deal. While we were waiting for the work to be done, I was thinking in my head about opening a franchise and bringing the Z in anytime I wanted and do all the work to my hearts content..lol

What the hell is wrong with my doctor? I'll take the flu shot but I think I'm going to pass on the blood clot to the lung.

Put bubble gum on the end of it. When she starts chewing. You know it's in deep enough.

Him, " No that's not right. That is false. We made a hop work up to 13 miles the other day."

Me, "Guess you shall see."

Can someone take me out back and shoot me please.

Don't ya just love the 'know-it-alls'... Most mobile radios are good for line of sight ~11 miles (over flat land) with the built in antennas. Add a 6 foot whip, then you MIGHT get more.... along with a giant sign that says 'shoot me, I have a radio'....:eek:

A challenge I can get behind. I'll let him get to 1000 yards... :stirthepot:

Last check, I have a 30mm can full of 308 (a 30mm can is basically two 50 cal cans on top of each other)...:yum::yum:

Reminds me I still have a ton of 30-06 brass that need to be reloaded. RSO at my range gave me about 1k. :happydance:
