    Pro "detail job" question

    When Did Your Fuel Pump Fail (or has it yet)??

    Somewhere near 185k. But I live in the rust belt. The tank drop on the TB wasn't all that hard. Of course most of the gas pumped itself onto the road first. FYI the pump was like 300 bucks and my mechanic wanted more than that to do the work. Even if it would have taken 2 days to do I...

    Vehicle Inspections?

    I would rather have the safety inspection than not. It makes sure my cars are safe at least once a year, and it's a good double check on me that I am not missing something that could cause harm to my family or someone else. In NY they inspect them all. Pre 1996 is just safety 1996- now is...
