I have changed my attitude after hearing the full estimate from my mechanic. I am tearing this ****er apart and doing the work myself. If I can't finish it with parts I purchase and install myself at that point I'll call for help. Do I have to lift the car up to change these control arm parts because I'm guessing that I don't.
This is not a problem. I am going to get good at working on my car. Probably tomorrow I'll have it towed from the lot. This is getting done right; done by me and my gearhead friends. They usually work on VWs but metric's metric -- right?

the mechanic just informed me that his hourly rate is 92.50 as opposed to 76.50 if I bring my own parts. which means he's not doing the work -- or any work -- ever -- on this car.
****ing shiester. what's the best 16" tires I can get for the money?

insurance
Don't you have any insurance on this car? I am a claims adjuster for AAA, Comprehensive and Collision are cheap on the SVX in most states, glass coverage can be a ***** because of the cost of the windshield but still not terrible,... if your "accident" were because you hit a squirell and swerved it would be a COMP loss with no fault, a cheap deductible, and no increase on your rates.... not that i would ever suggest lying to your insurance company.. the blood sucking *$&*@%!

I don't have any insurance on the vehicle itself to speak of -- I'm 19 so I got the bare minimum afaik. I'll check but so far this accident has not been reported.
