Angry Time to rant

A few weeks ago my car overheated... bad news, i know, so i take it to my trusty mechanic thinking that i'll get her back in a few days.... THREE WEEKS LATER they tell me that theyre still waiting on parts from mazda.... thermostat, waterpump, crushwashers, nuts bolts, gaskets.... what in God's name is taking so freekin long!!!! I want...no... NEED my FD back. its like a drug that i cant get enough of. this sucks... i paid for a car that i cant even drive.
thank God for the good ol FC... the Red Devil has gotten me around since the FD has been in the shop. I really hate to have to sell her....
ok, rant over... thanks for listening......

That's typical with an engine swap or rebuild. The actual time of work usually isn't that long, it's waiting for parts to show up, borrowing tools, life in general, etc. that gets in the way and drags it out.

if you want something done right, and on time, do it yourself
