I think you need to take your car to a good quality mechanic before something really bad happens. It is not your luck there are some problems under that hood. Brake calipers don't just lock up from normal use.

Unfortunately, those were all over the course of three different cars. I just have had terrible luck.

True story.... I bought a used Monte Carlo w/ a three month warranty, and the transmission went out in month four. Had it replaced, and it went out on the 13th month of a 1-year warranty. Said screw it, and bought this new Grand Prix. 36K mile warranty, and my transmission in it went out at 38K miles.

Different mechanics, different cars.... crap, the only control is me! :confused: But, I quite honestly, am *never* hard on my car, and *always* get maintenance at the recommended intervals. Just really craptastic luck!

So, if anyone cares... *PLEASE* wish the best for me, and hope this steering problem is cheap! :)

Best of luck, but it sounds like your problem is that you've been buying Domestic cars! :p

Free Super Saver shipping or Free Amazon Prime shipping? Don't know about the Free Amazon Prime shipping but I've seen the Free Super Saver shipping take a week to process the order before it even shipped. Good Luck!

Amazon prime shipping is awesome. Get everything within 2 days from ordering.

Love Cole Hanns.

Just bought my first softball bat. I fell in love with the one my friend had so I had to go get my own. It is a discontinued model but I got mine brand new.

Got robbed by the price but I got this for my glossy unibody. Got my unibody for 2.53ghz 80gb SSD 15" for 1100k so just accepted the glossy because of the great deal. Hope this powersupport anti-glare film works out ok. Once this comes in, I will have my computer completed covered with invisible skin, moshi clearguard, moshi palmguard and now this!

Also picked up a lian-li ex-30 case - hotswappable. Basically a drobo minus the automatic backup of the backup. Just needed to consolidate the crazy harddrive cables flying around my desk.

Special collection... There is a Cole, Rood & Haan section on colehaan.com (or go to coleroodhaan.com). Love their shoes. So old worldly lookin'. Only recently have they become available for employee pricing. :)
Oh I did not know. I'm not really a shoe person by way of knowing these things. I have some sperrys and my flip flops ... work shoes bleh. Etc.

I used to swear I'd never pay for Prime shipping, but then my free trial ended..... hahah.
I swore the same but I love the fact that I get everything within 2 days. Makes for easy ordering if I'm leaving town, I know exactly when something will arrive and I'm not waiting for them to package it and all that stuff.

I love Prime; I also have an addiction to 1-Click, so yeah I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon. They also charge my card instantly and the process to prepared for shipment step takes like a minute, so I can't even cancel!

I used to order maybe twice a week and with overnight shipping every time. Now I order like 4-5 times a week. I mean most things are free shipping and tax free (so I buy stuff like shampoo, batteries, CDs); for other stuff I get them overnight.

Prime member for over 5 years and running!

Haha, I know! They really don't give you a chance to cancel. Amazon is so awesome with returns, though. That, no tax, and the Prime shipping is why I buy so much from them. ANd of course they usually have good prices.
