    I hear ya,
    This has been the worst weekend I've had in along time. Go to leave work Friday start the car and think man this thing sounds a little loud by the time I got home it was real loud 42 miles end up blowing a 2" hole in muffler. Go to get a new one and they'll have it in at
    8am great, go home start taking the old one off and my sister in law shows up goes in the house to bs with my wife a few hours, comes out to leave and her car wont start GREAT. Starter wire is broke (the little braided wire from solenoid into starter) tell her she needs a new one & jump it with a piece of my #12wire scrap.
    It's about 10pm by now and to top off my Friday I go to shut the garage and the top section come off the track and gets wedged against the arm on opener (A FEW CHOICE WORDS) is going on. Bearings fell out of guide roller for the cable.



    Saturday spent working on cars: 1 hr to change muffler and 2 pipes, starter 6 hrs, (TO CHANGE A STARTER, CRAZY).
    If any of you have a Grand Marquis/Crown Vic I'd suggest taking it to a garage for something like this. It realy sucks doing it laing on the ground. Had to disconnect the A/C compressor just to get 1 bolt out with a bunch of extensions hooked together.
    Sunday: Work on garage door, changing 2 pullies & got a few new rollers.
    Well thats about it for my weekend endeavors.
