.. and Goodyear passes!

Turns out the wipers were disconnected. No idea why, but it was no charge to plug them back in so I’m happy.

They also had some tires from a Mercedes ML that had 50 miles on them that they could make me a deal on. Unfortunately that deal was $513 out the door, so it looks like I might be selling this thing needing rubber.

Oil change was cheap though at $22 and some change.

And now to the real issue.. the boogie-oogie. They don’t know. He gave it a drive, talked it over amongst themselves and gave up. I do appreciate this though as the auction took an incorrect guess and cost me money, but that does mean I’m still unsure what’s wrong with this beast.

I took it to a second neighborhood shop and this guy swore he knew what the problem was. He was booked up today and tomorrow though, so I’ll take it to him Wednesday morning and a few hours later (and $5-600) it should be good as new.

That sound you just heard? Yeah, that was my margin flying out the window.
