Default Thanks for the Info

I just got my '97 Torch Red 6 speed on July 3rd.

Of course there were a few things that needed fixing. Not a problem since my hubby doesn't mind working on her. (at least that's what he's said!)

So the window on the drivers door was rattling; I found a thread here, printed it out and he fixed it last night. Thanks.

I'm sure there are a few other things that 'rattle' and I'll be able to find the info here for the fix.

My only problem is, he wants everything fixed now and I just want to drive it!! As far as I'm concerned, if it's a little rattle, it can wait until winter for him to fix it.

Thanks again!
Michelle

I agree with his approach. Since you just purchased the car, at least take the time to identify noise, rattles, and such. What is a rattle now, could turn into to a bigger issue, and more money to fix. Besides, you really don't want him to tell you "I told you so"......again...right?
