I had two ignition coil bolts brake off inside the vale cover, so today I replaced the valve cover, oil change, oil filter, spark plugs, A/C recharge, cabin air filter, replaced brake pads.

I'm getting ready to sell my 1969 mustang fastback because I wanted to start my own company instead of dump more money into it only to be scared to drive it because idiots everywhere. it will be hard to part with but I can just buy another later so w/e.

I've driven nothing but mustangs all my life and I think I'm finally getting tired of them.

like i could get a 2017 gt350 or a 2013 GT-R..

help me /o/

I do all my own work for this reason. Trust me, I don't want to, but I have yet to find a competent mechanic that can do what I need done at a reasonable price.

>need to put new tires on my wheels
>various autists that live about an hour away from me from a forum i frequent will gladly mount and balance the tires for like $20 per wheel
>dont feel like driving an hour so I pay some local shop to do it instead that charges $60 per wheel
>pretty mad about it but whatever, at least i am supporting a local business, helping the economy, etc...
>two days later
>notice my front wheel weights fell off

I immediately went on Amazon and bought an air compressor, tire irons, and a balancing kit. This is the last fucking time I'll ever trust anyone to do anything.

Waxed it lol
