So, as I mentioned yesterday in my new car thread..my current car stopped going into reverse...well I would have to fiddle around with the dang thing to make it go in reverse...

Well..I took it to my mechanic after work today, and I guess the inner cable on my tranny cable rotted and broke..anyway he said the cables are quite expensive because my car is so old...

So, he just did some little thing and attached something to it to make it strong enough again to make my gears normal


I am good to go now!! All reversing like crazy with no problems!! With NO CHARGE!!

Thats a releif, I can put off the car shopping for a bit now...*whew*

Hey, THAT's good news!! Now you can take your time deciding on a new vehicle, and wait for the right one. Bravo for genius mechanics!

He is sick of working on my POS I guess

I think your mechanic must have a magic wand by the sounds of your car!

Decent of him to do something for no charge though.

Yeah he is very good...the only problem is..I'm pretty sure he hits on me
he is like 60 years old and always asks me to go for lunch with him...it kinda creeps me out. But I feel bad saying no, so I just say "yeah yeah sometime"...Its weird though
