Transmission Shop Woes

Spider...what kind of car was it? I bet american.

It's a 2000 Dodge Avenger (the same model Brian has).  It's technically an American car, but in the same sense that a Eagle Talon is "American" and a Mitsubishi Eclipse is "Japanese"... all three cars were made from the same plant in Normal, IL, using both Japanese and American components.  My "American" car has a Japanese (Mitsubishi) engine, and there are "Japanese" Eclipses with American (Chrysler) engines.

So long story short, I prefer to think of my car as a hybrid.

(I believe the above paragraph answers Brian's question as well.)

I'm glad to hear you still have the Venge.  You still working on it?  Or have you got lazy like I have?

BTW - nice rims...

A quick update,I just got back from picking my truck up from the Transmisson shop.I went with a local guy (I do believe,I don't think Beetles is a transmissonshop franchise).Well...$436.47 That's rebuilt,with new torque converter,new lines,seals,fluid with tax,title,license,enviromental fees,service fees,and all that stuff...(you know all the fine print added on to the cost).

It still shifts sort of hard,But 1000% better....So my buddy told me we'll throw a new rear end in it tommorrow.....eliminate that possibility.
