Rob - That comic's from Sexy Losers... Hilarious comic but the guy hardly writes 'em anymore.

Shan - finding a place to live isn't too hard. Buying a house is a lot harder.

anyone ever go to Faulkner Toyota/Scion? ?
Dont ever ever ever never ever go there
i had the biggest problem with them.
around 73k my clutch blew
so i went there trying to fix it
they brought the car in and diagnosed it nd charged me half hour labor
then they told me 110% it was not the clutch that was the problem..
okay ?
then they told me it will cost me 1200 to just take apart the trannyand look at what's wrong.. and then i would have to pay for any repairs/parts/labor thereafter.
or i could just pay flat out 6k and replace the entire tranny
i went to a tranny specialist (family friend) and asked them to take a look at it. they went for a test drive nd told me 95% it was the clutch.
i had them replace the clutch and flywheel with a Stage 1 Clutch and 12lb flywheel from Competition Clutch (great product and great customer service) (also they have a distributor www.sctuned.com in philly those guys are amazing at customer service and pricing). After i got my car back and after 460 for labor which included replacing the clutch and flywheel, topping off with synthetic tranny (redline mt-90) and synthetic engine oil change and cold air intake filter cleaning, the car drove GREAT. I love the flywheel and the clutch is amazing. I paid 295 for flywheel and 361 for the clutch shipped ups next day air.

all in all. just dont do business with faulkner.
i just got off the phone with Scion Corporate hopefully the dealer will offer something to resolve this issue.

i will be making another post here shortly so any feedback/questions please either respond here or the other thread.

lol sorry for jumping in just got so heated up with them and wanted some input/give yu guys a heads up.
generally with all toyota dealerships their service concerning sales division is immaculate. no complaints there
just the service dept i always had a problem with. and i know not to expect much, but telling me to pay 1200 to diagnose a tranny when i know what the problem is .. kinda ridic lol

yeh i been away for a while .. school and work and this Domino's i just took over
i opened a domino's in quakertown, pa
if yu guys know the area or whatever stop by
let them know yu know me (the owner's son: min) and ask em for 10% off.. i'll give em a heads up.

anyways i have some free time now that i moved to NE philly whats going on ? any meets ?
