Jill, it was -14 with a windchill of -30.....EVERYTHING is frozen. The seats were rock hard, the shifting was rough. In these temps it's expected.

you have the automatic or 5 speed manual ?

coheed · 01-15-2009, 10:33 PM

The thing thats really the problem is that Im not 18 yet. Im already enrolled in college and they'd help me get a job, but all they can help me with is auto-related jobs. And since minors cant work with equipment I cant work in a damn auto-shop.

When I turn 18 though, I've pretty much been promised a job at a grading company making $13.50/hr to start out.

take it that it's the original gear oil . If so , changing it out to a synthetic ( REDLINE MT-90 , AMSOIL MTG , etc, ) makes for amazing difference in shifting for those conditions . Hang in there .

I just changed my oil! (DO use synthetic there...) but didn't know about the gear oil....

I'll have to do that ASAP. Thanks!

coheed · 01-15-2009, 11:15 PM

Im not a morning person, but I have to be in class at 6:00 so I have to get up early to get ready in tme for the 30-40 min drive.

dvlnblkdrs · 01-15-2009, 11:17 PM

when i had to be at my business law class at 9am.. i fell asleep in class every single day.. i took the class 3 times and still have yet to pass it.. theres a reason i dropped out of college.. it just wasnt for me... i was terrible enough in school when it was free.. now that i gotta pay for it.. im even worse!

when i was in beauty school, girls would take bets on what time id fall asleep.... but i still aced all the tests even though i slept through most of lecture.. lol
