Its not fair!!!!

Its just not fair, ok so i let my sister use my car for the winter (because even the 05 hondas suck all that needs to be said). Only stipulation was she hand washed it once a week and got it tuned up. She did one better took it to her good friend who happens to be a mb tech. So cheap prts and the work will be done right.

And its not fair that my cars gonna be running 100% perfect and i can;t drive it for 2 monthes!!!!!

Okay, I'll break it to you....

Your sister is not going to wash you car once a week. Sorry, just not gonna happen.

As for the repairs....fuggetabboutit. At best, she'll head down to the nearest Amoco and try to flirt with the greasy wrench there. You'll be lucky if you get the correct oil put in your ride.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I personally would not let anyone drive my baby unless I was in the car with them and I trusted them with my life.

A good rule of thumb I follow is to apply the same rules to your car as you would your girlfriend, you don't really want anyone in her but you. (the car I mean......)

i personally know him, liek hes always at the house, he called me and said he called in a favor to a friend whos a mb tech and who stopped by work "aquired some parts" and headed back to the house. So i'm getting a free wiring harness new plugs and a bunch of other stuff put in. Nd no shes not stupid enough to brign that car a to a jiffy lube. as far as washing it, i got a feeling its gonna be brush washed for the next 2 monthes.
