How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

Dammit! Had the wife take the Sentra in after hearing a suspicious clunk over bumps and while cornering.
New lower control arms and sway bar end links to the tune of $1000. Nothing to do but pay up.

why in the world would you need new control arms?
I'm sure it's only the sway bar end links, my altima had the same issue; I had to replace both.
this is a $50 fix. $950 of it is just the service department making payroll since your wife is an easy target.

In any case, I'm kind of stuck. I sold the truck and haven't found anything else for a daily driver yet, so I threw the interior back together in the smelly Miata and have been driving that. If we had a spare car, I'd consider doing the LCA replacement myself, but I can't afford to be a 1-car family for 2 or 3 days.

I'm sure his experience extends to every car ever.

priceline/hotwire a rental car and you win even bigger. when we go to LA, we usually get bids accepted for $15/day and then upgrade to a prius for 5 more to save gas.

Did you know that there is no port of the original 1991 videogame Lemmings available for the Android platform?
Seriously? This was one of the first great point-and-click puzzle games. It helped to define an entire era in casual gaming, with simple, addictive gameplay supported by cute yet rudimentary graphics and sound. How can this masterpiece of entertainment be lost to history?
Now that SCE Studio Liverpool (the successor to Psygnosis) is defunct, and the intellectual property associated with the original Lemmings title falls essentially into the category of abandonware, I demand that this classic be resurrected for the modern handheld / mobile platform, and that said recreation be based upon the original 1991 Commodore Amiga release, and not any of the vastly inferior subsequent ports.
