COMMENTS: A tribute to Kristen Laurite RIP, never again.
I've probably repaired every part off my bus other than the Auto transmssion. If you need help, I will help you.
Heres good advice: If you own an old car and intend to keep it, get the manual and tools. Learn how to repair
your car. Not even the experts can pick up where you left off sometimes and you'll spend most of your cash waiting for them to figure out what you've already done.
