She called phred re: your car and long story short, I'm the only one near a computer right now so here's my attempt to get ahold of ya.

They suggested trying a Sears -- some of them have an automotive/mechanic department and are usually open until 9pm.

Or what about a Super Walmart? They should have an automotive/mechanic person to help and they're open until late. (no clue what time!)

My dad used to be a mechanic (way back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth), I don't know if he could walk you thru anything or not. If you'd like to try that, let me know and I'll send my phone number to ya.

Hope this gets straightened out!
