Hmm - take it to U-Pull-It... put the car out of its misery. Get the $50 and then you can buy a case of Coopers finest and reminise about it all...

Mozilla firefox includes a free word type spell checker and is less prone to adware and ie based viruses.

How do you have a taillight fall out? Mine are that firmly attached, they are certainly going nowhere! They mustn't have been bolted in properly

it's just a bit of bad luck with all those things going wrong in the 1 day...you should stick with it a little longer and if it's still giving you problems down the track sell it on ebay
all the best |
