REPAIRING WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE WRONG---IS PROBABLY THE 1ST STEP IN ELIMINATING THE "GHOSTS" YOU MAY BE EXPERIRNCING

MY SISTER ONCE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POP ON, SHE TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM

WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN, MONTHS LATER, SHE JUST PASSED IT OFF AS THE "OTHER CONVERTER" ACTING UP----I TOLD HER THAT LIGHT MIGHT COME ON FOR OTHER PROBLEMS TOO----THERE'S ONLY ONE LIGHT......AND ISSUES CAN ONLY "STACK" ON THE SAME LIGHT!

IT FINALLY CAME DOWN TO THE POOR OLE THING NOT "GOING NO MORE" (WHICH IS WHEN SHE FINALLY DEMANDS "WHAT'S WRONG?--IT'S BEEN FINE FOR MONTHS")---[HAS IT REALLY?] ---IT COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A SAFETY ISSUE---AND A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS SHE HAD, COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD SHE FIXED THE 1ST ONES.......SHE SPENT OVER $2000 FIXIN' STUFF

........SISTERS!.............I'M GLAD SHE'S NOT IN CHARGE OF MY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM!

I KNOW "FUNDAGE" IS AN ISSUE

I STARTED OUT WITH NOTHIN' MYSELF..................I STILL PRETTY MUCH HAVE MOST OF IT LEFT!

DO YOU HAVE A COMPETENT MECHANIC?

THE STEALERSHIP IS NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!

WOULD YOU LIKE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO "LOCATE/ INTERVIEW/ FIND" JUST THE RIGHT ONE, MAYBE TAILORED FOR YOU?

THESE NEWER RIGS ARE VERY COMPLICATED----DIY IS HARDER ON SOME STUFF

I'LL STICK WITH MY JEEPS!.......SIMPLE SEEMS BETTER TO ME!
