Late reply, but I've been having some car related issues, too. I need to replace my suburban's transmission and just recently got 4 new tires put on it. (apparently alignment was a bit off on the front and it ruined that set of tires, and the others were already old enough to need replacing...)

Also, my brother wound up in a wreck today. Pity pity, and it was such a nice little truck. He's perfectly fine though; invincible bastard.

Anyway, I wish you luck in everything! You never know when that extra wish of luck'll come in handy.
