dSo this is actually pretty cool. I'm not into cars, I don't know much about mechanics, but we're having some pretty big issues with our little Mazda at the moment, so I used repairpal.com to run an estimate and got part prices and estimated labor. It was actually fun.
Now I'm running other scenarios. Like, if I lived in San Diego, it has an option to look up San Diego Auto Repair shops. This option doesn't *just* show you the closest auto shop. It talks about commute times, what times of year you need to watch for hazardous road conditions, average repair prices in the city, so on so forth.
That's just nifty.
Now lets say I have a Ford F-150 (I don't. I'm not really a truck kinda gal) and it's check engine light is on. All I would have to do is put in the make, model and year, then when I go to enter a service type there's this awesome little drop down where you can search issues by key word. Type in "check engine" and you get "check engine light diagnosis" highlighted in the list. For our car, I typed in "clutch cylinder" and I got "clutch master cylinder replacement" which is exactly what our car needs.
hehe. Like I recently said somewhere. I'm easily entertained.

Little Man is fussing. He just had a bath, so he smells sweet and his hair is all fuzzy and sticking straight up. I need to find something to eat for breakfast other than DMD. Quinn is at work on his off day, trying to get enough overtime in to save the car. *sigh*. I miss him, but the quiet, happy morning with the baby boy is fun.
I love my life.
