QUOTE(kenshapiro2002 @ Sep 29 2009, 03:20 PM)  I want those jackstands! Anybody know who has shorties? Mine are 12" minimum, and I hate jacking the car up that high. P.S. Hope O.C. was good to you. QUOTE(ghuff @ Sep 29 2009, 07:11 PM) I have bought cars from people for pennies on the dollar due to electrical problems. I scored my wife's 02 Jetta 1.8T for 3000$ because it had improper fluids, needed suspension bushings and needed about 8 hours worth of sorting out bad grounds and sketchy bosch connectors. 20 or so hours later, I had a 6000-7000$ car. Electrical and fuel injection/running problems are the worst things. Congrats on the victory Ken. I expect you to bring it by sometime to keep the blue car company. If we keep them far enough apart, your car should not catch the jackstands from mine. Thanks man. You can have the brown stands if you want them! All 4. They came with a 1975 scirocco years ago. I just need to pick up two more to match my two adjustable ratcheting stands. OC was great, motsly bro'ng out, drinking beer and getting all fucked up while being silly since it rained. Pretty fun weekend. |

As it would truly be a bitch to repair that short section of wire, in that tight space without soldering my eyeballs together, is it cool to just do a good job of taping the wire? Is there a "paint on" insulation...like the rubber stuff you can put on tool handles? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It's Miller Time! |

Glad you got it figured out. Looks like I'll need to do a little work on my switches someday.
