[DML] Re: Granholm funds poor MI citizen for DeLorean repairs

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

And you believe your mechanic?

Ask this guy to personally show you everything. I would question both 
my mechanics ability, and his sense of self-worth if I was told by 
him that the source of my problems was a "bolt thingy".

I don't mean to be mean here, but put down the video games, and get 
crackin' on that car yourself.

Have the fool down at the garage physicly point out to you what he 
*thinks* is wrong with your car, and then tow it home. Next, read 
this:

And then come back for instructions on how to adjust your crossgate 
cable, and order a new pivot bolt for the rod linkage.
