4. We've been having car trouble throughout the entire Rx

Dec 2011

Mechanic #1 messed up everything he touched ($1100 in repairs). He failed to fix the heater, so a mechanic here in town (#2) did it. Mechanic #1 also failed to find the problem I was having starting the car, and the starter just flat-out died on Friday...at home, but what if we had been stranded somewhere in this cold?!? So Mechanic #2 has the car right now...he also found that Mechanic #1 messed up AGAIN, which is why we're leaking anti-freeze.

The day Mercury goes direct is supposed to be the day we get our car back...finally!

I respectfully disagree with you about DU3. You can't find the smilies or HTML tags on the reply screen anymore, the front page is squashed terribly (only paying donors can get the "benefit" of changing to a format that's legible), spell check is gone (not that I need it, but other people might), the jury software keeps asking too many people to serve...the list goes on.
