Whizzers. Forgot all about them. Two shapes. And that skittle pool was unplayable because you could only shoot from the one area. We took off the skittle part and blocked it off and used dowels like cue sticks.

Quoted from Dent00:

I guess I am one of those rare people, that as long as I am physically able to turn a wrench, I want to fix my own vehicles. I just don't trust most repair shops to be honest about what is really required or what they did. They also charge a lot more than I think is justified and I guess I am just a penny pincher. But, I also don't like being cheated. I can easily see what parts cost online and they will deliver directly to my door, free of charge most of the time. I don't even have to go to the local Autozone and buy parts. Even Autozone is high when you compare to Ebay or other online outlets for parts. I just see the cost difference and what most mechanics charge by the hour and I just cannot justify going to a repair shop with a minor repair that I can do myself, especially if it is some stupid emissions alarm that turns on my check engine light for no serious reason.

I completely agree and do whatever work I can physically perform. I do not trust anyone to work on my stuff as I have had problems from prior experience. I also find it rewarding to learn what is going on under the hood, so to speak. I have a cheap obd reader that Bluetooths to my phone and as paid for itself many times over. It can also clear any code.
