Yup. Everyone at the office is going to be pissed tomorrow, I hate Monday's after a disappointing Sunday lol. I thought for a second the Cowboys had a chance what with the momentary tie up, but then reality set in and sure enough we gave the ball away again.

:le sigh:

They gave up some easy points... dumb mistakes.

I still have faith in the Rangers though for game 5.

Well, so much for the State Fair today. Only got about 30 minutes of sleep last night from being sick. Damn Taco Cabana.

Probably will end up going tomorrow though, as it's half price day (all food, etc).

Well crap, it's only Monday...

At least I got one test over first thing, and one on Friday. I'm going by an Infiniti dealer after class today to hopefully get some center caps and look into service there. Not being able to do oil changes myself FTL

Lack of jack stands and floor jack is really making it hard. That and no garage. plus I don't have my oil collector or funnel.

Sounds like a really quick "tick tick tick tick" on acceleration, and I think on downshifts for me also. I have 5AT though.

its more like a slow clunk clunk. so i guess that rules that out.

Could be the coil overs they normally make clunking noises. But it's normally with true rears I think that are normally clunking not sure about OEM setup.
