[00 SS]

I've done so much car work in the last 2 weeks, I'm actually getting sick of it. Here's the list of what I've had to do.

'88 Buick:
PS Pump - leak and bad bearing
Harmonic Balance - rubber cracked and pully delaminated
Passenger side half shaft - outer CV boot exploded

'03 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Front brakes and rotors
Inner front axle seals - passenger side was leaking and may have been the cause of the brake issues
Transfer case fluid change - it was just time
Passenger front window regulator and motor - cable broke

I've got about $750 in just parts, I don't even want to know what all this would have cost at service shops.

Anyway, just venting.

Friday I bought a 2000 Cherokee, 147K, 4 L, auto, mostly original! Sunday I had it on the lift hammering chunks of rust off the rotors... they're still on the truck just making a bit more noise than before! My new brakes, from hoses to rotors, will get here tomorrow.

Yesterday my 'Vette didn't recognize the FOB and wouldn't start. It took some playing with the FOB to get it going and according to the semi-annoying corvette forums it looks like I'll need a new car battery. Debating if I want the dealer to do a true diagnostics on it or if I just want to throw an optima in it and cross my fingers.
