Morning guys, lonesome, how's the new job treating you? Dustin, have a trade out to you on bunt.

So the timing belt went on my car, not worth fixing it, prolly gunna sell it to the garage that towed it for parts and not get nearly enough, guess we are going car shopping this weekend. Thank god a guy from work lives close to me and doesn't mind giving me rides...

Good morning all. I have never had an issue admitting I'm wrong and unless we're being played like never before I was way off on El Presidente Trump. [MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] good luck man, we just bought an Elantra so the baby would be safer and we like it quite a bit

What kind of car is it? A timing belt repair shouldnt be that much (under $1500 for a 4 cylinder with $1300 of it being labor). A lot of shops do that to people, have them junk the car, the shop fixes it so the mechanic will have a beater to drive and not use his personal vehicle.

Good morning all. Going to be observed today. I don't know why I'm nervous about it. My favorite teacher is my supervisor for this, and I know she likes me. On the bright side, school only goes until 2 tomorrow, and no school Friday. The bad thing about that though is there are conferences tomorrow night from 4-8 and Friday morning from 8-12 that I have to be here for. And nobody comes to visit the PE teacher during those things :lol:

It's a 2004 Honda Civic that we don't want to put more money into, so it wasn't the shop that suggested it, it was us. They quoted $800 on the timing belt repair, but then there was a possibility of bent valves and engine replacement, and we didn't want to worry about that.

You could buy a timing belt and do it yourself. There may or may not be valve issues.
