Argh

Well, I joined Facebook - even after saying to everyone I knew that I was never ever going to.. never going to even LOOK at it... and look at me - im already addicted :P Oh the pictures uploading is completely awesome!

I got my car back today - only 550, compared to the 1000+ I was expecting. Apparently along with all my other problems a mouse went and crawled up into a valve and nested there. I guess when I started my car up again, it got sucked up and keeled. poor thing, but what an expensive animal :P But, the people at National Transmition were nice to me and they made my baby work like it never has before! I don't have a "check engine" light on anymore! I've Never seen that before in my '97 Mercury Mystique! That light has been on since I got the car - "It's just a short, nothing wrong with it" is what all the Ford places told me - what a bunch of idiots. They screw me out of my money (long story, short = concerning a burnt out AC/Heater, a recall after being fixed, and lack of refund), say nothing is wrong ... and I promise you, I will not be going to Ford dealers ever again. I can list all the other problems I have had, but there's no point. I found websites with it all listed already - so if you are looking at buying one or fixing one - just take a look at some of the reviews. A few like the car, very few love, and many hate. Personally, it is my baby and she has been everywhere from Texas to here and she is paid for - no payments! And I'd like to keep it that way.
