18 year old Lumina with 45K miles. The kind of low mileage car you want to keep nice.
It's looks new again. My daughter loves that car.

I'v had 2 luminas. The first 1 sucked shit through a tube. It had electronic issues daily
and stayed in the repair shop almost as much as I drove it.

The 2nd was a 97 model and it was a good car. It shit the bed last month with over 250K miles.
I had the transmission replaced once. and it had some minor electronic issues.

Last month the transmission gave up again. I sold it "where it sat, as is" to a dude for $50.
The junk yard said they would buy it for $150. It would have cost me $50+ just to tow it to the yard.
So for the $50 I walked away without having to lift a finger.

Thanks so much . Yep and no , i put them all around but my big living room window is wood that matched the floor kinda. The wood one from home depot the rip off palace. They said 50 bucks a sq.ft. but after clear view and all the other options it was over 100 bucks easy a s.q..2000+ for one window about 8 x 6' or what ever . i wasnt getting reamed like that again ! They installed that one though. in minutes .These white ones can get cheaper bigtime ! Those white ones have all the same options at 19 bucks a s.f. but are plastic . I got another brand too that 21 a ft. Way cheaper. hehe. Fuck depot. I couldnt even get my cove and base trim there , i wanted long pieces At 12" so only 3 scabs in whole house. . I got 1x6 and 1 x 3 pine with polplar to do the craftsman trim though . Made a router table to router the thin pieces.1\4 round bit.I'm taking trashed cheap repo made in 97 look like it was made much earlier. So far i did all wall outlets and nice switches . hardwood floor i installed and finished . subfloor is osb bullshit though. I should have changed it. Useless crap ! I painted inside and out. sprayed and rolled. just ahd roof redone. I put in a argon sliding door .All new solid doors. New decking step in front. . new overhead lights in bedroom . still gotta change out my cans. I want something nice. had a hearth made of granite for cheaper than the grey sears fake tile bullshit one that was there and put new water heater and zero clearance insert. Im slow , i gotta be hella high ingesting to stand up for awhile.Thats what i done in 3 years so far. I have to get all new closet door stil . Be awhile before they need to be in ,lol. Actaully i was really lucky money wise, the crash made me a bunch of free money with my schiester lawyers share since he quit my case 3 weeks before my s.s.i. appeal saying i had no chance of winning. .lol. Free house and all. Pay off in 7 years. lol. You gotta be one dumb lawyer to spend almost ten years on a case and quit .lol. I bought a bunch of gold and silver when it was still cheap. lol. Like 6 buck silver 600 dolla gold. cashed otu high then bought three years ago at the bottom . woot. 15 years loan. 30 percent down. I'm killing it for a suposed to be dead guy. lol. I could have paid cash for the house but knowing i was going to go off on what ever i got i kept it cheap so have enough to do it all. shit i better go to bed..................
Thanks again.....

Yeah, it's a family business and his dad did the exact same thing decades ago.

He welded some metal on both sides right behind the front mud flaps, and sand blasted/repainted the entire bottom of the car. Then he rust proofed where he repaired and poured motor oil on it.

My dad gave them all his business for body work and now I give all my business to the son, who is around my age.

So, lol, I've never seen it done any other way.

If he's using used motor oil it can accelerate corrosion. Used motor oil is highly acidic. He needs to use a lanolin wax based product to be effective. I recommend Fluid Film. Fresh kerosene, heating oil or diesel works well also.

I had an old lumina probably about the same age and that car ran better the newer cars we had around. We passed it around to whoever needed to drive it while their newer car was down.. that car was solid and ran great. Mine may have had a few more miles by like 150k but hey, who's counting..

I got an Icy Hot tens unit. I got it for sciatic and hip pain. My back and hip has gotten to the point if I step wrong I got to lay on a heating pad for a couple days.

Physical therapist is a good place to start.

What price range was the icy hot.
I looked at some by that brand online as low as 29$. I have a PT that I see for 6 weeks a couple times a year and they keep my electrodes on file, do you have to replace your electrodes or is there any other equipment or supplies to replace . I'm just trying to get my head around the whole picture.

Around 20-30 bucks. Wal-Mart has quit a few different models.

You can get replacement electrodes but I haven't had to buy one yet. It is one pad that is sticky. It has a plastic sheet to stick it to when done. It gets sticky again.

Icy hot has different ones for different body parts.

I've been up for almost 8 hours now, made breakfast, smoked a few times, wasted the rest of the time online. I think I'm going to smoke and take a nap, I'm worn out. I don't get how sitting on my ass makes me more tired than when I'm out working all day, my smoking doesn't change when I work either, so it's not like I'm burnt already.
