Sidenote: Are you in Westchester, Erie or Sullivan counties? -------------------- My Flickr My eBay _Perpetual Aperture_

For that 375$ you could have bought a nice tool set and a chiltons manual and did it yourself and learned alot. Then you will always have the tools to do more stuff. --------------------
