[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 514281, member: 13556"] Hey, Bill. I hope that this is going ok for you and that it is fixed by now. Since I know that misery loves company, I'll share my own "holiday disaster, four wheels version"! :p I've spent over $2300 on repair bills for my car in the last two weeks. Now, I'm going to have to shell out nearly that much again on my wife's van, for new rear shocks, front struts and new tires, a four wheel alignment and a couple of other things that need fixing. The shop gave me the estimate this afternoon and it came out just short of $2000. The owner then said something about me spending so much on cars in the shop in the last month, so he offered me a 10% discount to lessen the sting somewhat. Last week I was thinking that I was out a D750; now it looks like I'm out two of them. Oh, well, what can you do? Even a horse would cost plenty in veterinarian fees! ;) WM [/QUOTE]
