(on topic) Actually, here in the U.S. no matter how rude it is, you could say anything you wanted, even to the President and not go to jail, unless you threatened his life or his family. Just calling him names will not be cause for you to go to jail. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/31/sheehan.a...

Well at least I wasn't the only one confused by that.

I was worried I just wasn't in 'the know' again.

For some reason, as I'm heading into 5th gear, most of the time it's a little difficult to slide into 5th. Almost feels like it's sticky or something. There is no grinding noise or anything and 5th gear works fine. Coming out of 5th does not catch like it does when going into 5th.

Any ideas?

Kalamazoo recently became a very popular city to have your kids enrolled in public schools...

Some extremely rich people created a scholorship for any child enrolled in Kalamazoo schools that pays for ALL of their college... all the kid has to do is graduate with a 2.0 to qualify. Cool eh?

what do you mean by "cut off"?

Yeah... The sad part is that the guy at the shop said he would install them for me if I got the parts, but for $30 more then I'm paying for the parts. Anyone else installed a control arm/ball joint setup and found it to be not TOO hard. With something like that, I'm almost afraid to do it myself and...

Oh boy... that doesn't look like a very easy replacement (Just finished reading all about replacing the control arm and ball joint). Not to mention I need to find some special tool to remove the ball joint and I'll need a proper torq-wrench. Like I said, I'm new to really getting my fingers into fix...

Yeah... I gave away my lego's ages ago. I don't use any of those products anyway myself. I have to say though, I still believe that it falls under free speech. It doesn't make what they've done right at all, because it most certainly is not right or good. That's the double edged sword that is free s...

I ended up getting an OEM Muffler. I couldn't find any other brands that would fit in it that I could get for a reasonable price. Kinda nice though, I can hear the engine instead of the exhaust now. :) Ordered my control arm and ball joint for $40 + $10 shipping (USD). Need to look through the repai...

Well... got the muffler fixed. It's damn quiet now! hehe

But aparently, the front left control arm and ball joint are in sad shape and need replacing... ugh... haha I knew I would have to fix a few things when I bought it. Oh well.

It appears that the real problem is that the muffler on the Lanos is a bit triangular in shape and not many mufflers would fit properly in it's place.

Haha... they said they don't have a magnaflow or flowmaster that will fit in the Lanos. Looks like I might be stuck payin the $140

Cool... doing that now.

I've got one started... but nothing I'm satisfied with yet...

that's installed... The part is running $105 or so... with labor and such it's $140... still calling around to see if I can find a better deal.
