ahem, hello excuse me, you people seem to have wandered a little off topic here.
so, i took my car in to find out why it almost killed me on the fdr yesterday. turns out part of the frame underneatch has cracked and some of it's just fallen apart. one guy offered us $400 for the car or he said he'd fix it for $500 another place said they'll fix it for $300. it hardly seems worth it, but since i just spent $200 on a tuneup and don't have any other options to get eric to work right now i guess i'm gonna go for it. this will be the last time i spend money to fix it though, looks like we'll be taking her for a trip to the east river pretty soon :-(
so, anyway, i don't really know shit about cars or how much it costs to fix them, but they'd basically have to take off the gas tank then put a piece of metal over the cracked part, so, does $300 sound about right for that?
