Go Greased Lightning

[cyrano]

So my CV Boots are cracked, and one of them is throwing grease. Gary at Hopkins Honda recommends that I deal with this problem within a week, to avoid serious problems. He also thinks I'm in the window of appropriateness to replace the timing chain. I think I'll try to keep working six or seven days a week for a while, and see if I can stay caught up.
Movie crew was good last night--maybe too much movie quoting for the sake of movie quoting, and the conversation was no afternoon salon, but very relaxing and friendly and I wish I hadn't stayed out so late but I survived well. And it was nice to meet new people.
Now it is time to pack, so I can leave tomorrow for LA.

That's right, my bad. (This is what happens when you spend all day writing about the history of the oratorio, everything else becomes a non-descript blur.)

I'd agree with the second opinion on the timing chain. As I recall, you talked to a dealer. Dealers are well known for doing lots of things that aren't necessary. They have to make their boat payments, after all. My sister replaced almost everything else on her old truck before the timing chain and it was way past 150K.

If it makes you feel better, when he initially mentioned that my CV Boot was throwing grease, I wondered to myself if anything I'd put in the boot had gotten grease on it.
But he was very nice and brought up a picture of the thing and explained what it was and how it worked and why the grease around it was so important.
And that it'd cost $400 to replace them.

You forgot that most U.S. people don't use 'boot' for trunk, eh? :)

Well that and I had no idea what a 'CV boot' was.
