Unfortunately most modern cars are front wheel drive so step 1 to separating the engine from transmission is to remove the car from it. And thats just about how it says it, you unbolt the engine/transmission subframe from the car body and then lift the car body up off of it.

Thats why I'm going to have to have someone else do it. But I did find a charity that helps single parents with auto fixes, so waiting on a call back from them.

Not trying to sound immodest, but you don't have to sleuth me in Xilinhot. Being one of only two westerners in a city of 200,000, I'm not difficult to find, just ask any policeman or taxi driver(most of them should have my business card)...seriously.
Sorry no Taco Bell, hope you like mutton and warm weak beer....well we do have a KFC
can't really recommend it though, service is awful.
Can someone tell me or describe to me what Mutton tastes like
Never really got into sheep 
I learned to never buy a front wheel drive, I suppose they are fine if you can afford to pay someone else to do work and never drive on roads that are not perfect. My little old S10 I removed and replaced the engine using a swingset the previous owners of my house left when we moved it.
Hah
sometime last summer we were driving along and I had handed my phone back to my son and all of a sudden I started hearing "baaa, baaaaa, BAAAAAAAAA!". He had installed something called clouds and sheep.

Take a pork chop and boil it in a sweat sock.
I'm not sure if it's grinding my gears, but it ain't doing my joints any good that my neighbors do an incredibly sh*tty job of clearing their walks. For the last month, I've had to walk the dogs in the street or slip on the ice and packed snow from their vast shoveling efforts. Okay, maybe only half-vast.

We just got dumped on over the last week or so with about 4' of white ... stuff.
When does my 28" 2-stage snowblower break down? Just beforehand. When did the aforementioned snowblower return all fixed? Today of course when it's 45dF and that white... stuff is melting.

Now that's using your brains
For future reference a common kitchen dishwasher is a really good intake manifold cleaner...
as long as you take it out before the wife gets home.

Tastes same as lamb really. Same animal, just grown up.
BTW most sweaters in Inner Mongolia are wool, rather than acrylic or polyester nonsense.

Maybe one day, when my lady is finally home from the hospital, and we have some disposable income - we'll make that trip to the Far East, and I'll finally get a chance to meet you. You seem to be a good soul, and the words in your post have enabled me to do something that I haven't been able to do for awhile now - and that is to dream. My depression and anxiety, along with post-traumatic stress, have effectively folded, spindled, and mutilated my positive affect. Thank you for giving me that, my ex-pat friend. Be well, and stay in touch.

Well it was cheap and it's been a good car for over the three years I've had it. This is the first thing I haven't been able to fix on her. I even did the water pump and that was a pain, especially with big hands lol. My next car will probably be rwd, or hopefully a 4wd truck.

Mine was an 88. I had a bed u joint and took it to a place and they replaced it but got it out of balance, it eventually put a crack in the bell housing. I had to go to a junk yard and buy a replacement bell housing. I listened to everyone who says clutches don't last longer than 100k and figured since I had 150k I better replace it too but the cheap discount auto parts store one was worse, I should have left it alone. I should have just replaced then u joint myself, learned to not pay anyone else after that.

Why is it that when you send a package, and you receive a 'track 'n trace code' the system only shows the package being delivered?
Some time, one day, when ever, once upon a time?
It is a track 'n trace code, not a delivery confirmation code...

Bought the truck used, and had no idea how much wear the clutch had. Most of the other parts held pretty well. Drove mine till year 2000. Big problem was the carb. It used to die, stall the truck and you'd lose your vacuum assist brakes. Think the truck was the model sold in California. Ain't too much fun if you live in a hilly area, it's snowing and you lose the brakes on a hill. If you really pushed on the pedal, you'd slide. Finally got so bad, I got a Toyota Tacoma.
Must be USPS 'tracking'. I remember those. Then the one that showed delivered that i never received I would call and they would give me a tracking number for the call with a promise to call back in 48 hours. So I'd wait a week and call back and get another tracking number. I finally collected a dozen call tracking numbers for each week I called in trying to find my package and every one promised a call back in 48 hours that I never received.
So then I stopped delivering all the neighbors mail the carrier would put in our mailbox, I started sticking it on the windshield of the mail truck. I'd call and complain when carrier would toss their rubber bands or headset batteries in my porch. I finally asked if we can be services by another post office since our current one was unable to deliver the mail properly.

funny, I've had so many co-workers go buy a truck after riding in mine, the majority buy the Apple, I mean Toyota. Half of them got buybacks due to the frame, others have to constantly get rides because they are in the shop. There were a few years they used a timing belt instead of a chain, other years you can't even replace the fan belt without a special tool. And to top it off their mid sized v6 gets worse gas mileage than my full sized v8.

Another used truck. Toyota is a 1996 2.7 liter 4 cyl 4WD. Don't want a new vehicle. Too much crap on them. Really want a 1965 TR4A or my Spitfire back.
All the trucks I have have been 4 cyl. The S10 was. So was the 72 Datsun.
I gotta admit, the Tacoma handles pretty well for a truck.

You know what really grinds my gears?
When you have iOS, and upload photos to Facebook, they go in "iOS Photos" but if on Android, they simply go to "Mobile Uploads".
What, Android can't have it's own album?

"Team Player" is a coercive tool used by bad managers to get their way.
-- If you have to ask me if I am a team player, then you haven't been paying any attention; you should already know if I am or not.
-- When you use that term with me, I am inclined to tell you to take a long walk off a short bridge without even processing the request.
