I took my truck in this morning because it had a leak. Figured it was the hose to the transmission. Nope. Turns out it's the water pump, the break line hose, and something else. It's only gonna cost about $3 grand, not to mention $35 dollars a day to rent a car until Monday.

Guess I'm buying a new car next week mad.gif . I'll probably go for something gay like an '08 Camry or Civic to hold me over for a few years

I don't have the invoice. Whatever they're doing requires basically tearing the truck apart and removing the engine block. If it was just a leaky hose I could have probably fixed it myself. I'm not fucking around with removing the block even though I have an engine hoist and have done it before.

Not the brake lines, the water pump and something else. I'll go find the information if it's that important.

This is absolutely, positively, the last time I'm buying a domestic automobile. Not that I even like Toyotas or Hondas, but everyone I've talked to who owns one has but 125K+ miles on it and never had a major problem. I know trucks don't last as long as cars, but I drive well (ask anyone including Jessica and they'll say I drive like a grandpa). There is no excuse for an automobile to be getting 7-8 MPG when the manufacturer claims 16-17. American automakers wonder why they're losing business. It's because they're putting out inferior cars compared to foreign automakers
