Thumbs down In desperate need of help!

Since I just moved to Mass recently the cars have been slightly neglected with the lack of a place to work on them and all the money this stinking state wants for everything.

Well, I can wait no longer. This list has gotten out of control, and with the short evenings I need a place to work on my cars (doesn't help my drive is all stones).

Can someone PLEASE HELP ME!

I need a garage to work in locally (New Bedford area) I don't have time to be traveling.

Here is my to do list....

my wife's civic needs:
oil change
winter tire swap
raised back onto stock springs (and everything that goes with that)
cruise control fixed

my S needs:
snow shoes
fluid changes
brakes
rear plastic window poilished (so I can see through it)

I appreciate the offer and wish you were closer, but with the holidays here I really don't even have time to do any of this. I just don't have a choice, so I at least need some place close by.

Rick, I'm not even sure we have members down there with a garage. I haven't heard from seriousrex in a long time.

Rick, you've been to our house. We are "garage-less" so we can't help you either.

There aren't too many members down this way. We usually drive almost an hour to hook up with the fun people of NES2KO

I am also not too far from you Rick, but with only a 1 car garage, that is full of garbage, I am not of much help.
I have been traveling so much for business, I have no time to clean it out for the hybernation of my S2K. After 5 week in Nebraska, and a Thanksgiving week at home, I am now in LA until Friday, then, Monday to Berlin for 2 weeks.
I do have a spare driveway with a Streetlight, You are welcome to use it if the temperature is good. My wife Donna will be happy to turn the light on for you, just let me know.
My winter sled, a 99 Millennia, which by the way runs great and gets 30 miles to the gallon, failed the new MA. emmision inspection last week, so, I left it at the Garage while I am in LA, they called today telling me they want $500 bucks to replace the Knock Sensor. EEEGHAADS... with no guarantee this would solve the problem. what to do what to do...... its never easy.

Thanks man. I appreciate the offer.

I have 2 local driveways which were offered to me, I was really hoping for a garage with these temperatures. Kinda tough to do a lot with it cold outside and it getting dark quickly. I guess I will need to grin and bear it.

Thanks guys!

Well, I did work on the sidewalk today... that's right people! I did a brake job on the sidewalk.

I also put my snow shoes on tonight.


In fact that is where I will be doing my fluid changes this saturday. (tranny, diff, and oil)

Then soon I will do suspension work there.
