Yonekura Ryoko

repairs... Tranny replaced at 80k, due to the fluid not getting changed, my bad. Radiator replaced twice, cheapo plastic/alum crap. :grumble: Master cylinder once, alternator once. otherwise, routine stuff.

though, i need a new oil pan, and rear trailing arm bushings now.

Replaced the tranny??

That couldn't have been cheap, new or used... :sweat:

Yeah, most radiators seem to be of the aluminum core/plastic end cap type nowadays...

Well, Acura wanted $3500 for a new one installed. The place that does work my my parents car got me a slightly used (20k) one off a rear end total loss installed for $800.
Sure, it took 3 days more for them to finish, but luckily we had an extra car at the time.

Good deal. :thumbsup:

I wish I had that option.


Oh well.

I ain't buying a new car for a while....

less $$ on car repairs = more time and $$ devoted to Ryoko related pursuits.

That's what im here for, and remember that there will be a multiple choice test on Ryoko-chan's hotness tomorrow.

Beemer,
So sorry to hear about the whonking, huge car bill!!! :shakehead:

What a drag. :omg: :omg:

Cheap repairs is why Im driving a Dodge these days.

My 450SL (which I still dream about BTW ;) ) always cost st least $400+ whenever I took it in and that was 10 years ago.

The Dodge is always satisfied with about $200 and not often even then.

Still it always seems a major repair or something eats up any extra I might have. :puppydog: Does it seem that way to you too?

My day isnt stellar either. My young horse scraped me off under a tree when he spooked today. A branch hit me in the mouth. But Im lucky truly, no more than a torn, swollen lip. Nothing broken so all is good. Guess I was due for a fall. Been a couple years since Ive come off. :beaten: :beaten:

Multiple choice? :headscratch:

There's only one choice regarding Ryoko-chan's hotness: YES.

It does.

I always have money stowed away for a rainy day, but this completely blindsided me... Now I know how NFL QBs feel after a blindside hit. :nut:

Ouch.

Yeah, you are lucky considering we all know what happened to Christopher Reeve after he got tossed off his horse... :sweat:

Glad to hear that your injury it was pretty minor, Evie... :)

Time for a pic. :inlove:

:hehe: you recognize some of the pics being posted over and over. Good job Krim :applaud: They deserve it though :victory:

well, i didn't want to mention it at first, because there was a slight chance it was due to my smoking habits. :nut:
