It dont make any sense in how technology can help us, but also hinder us when I first got the car I had told the dealer that I needed a reliable car because I have a job that I have to get to on time and two kids that also ride in the car, only a week later it happen in front of the store in 100 degree wheather with my kids in the car the theft light went flashing and we had to wait 10mins until it started I had a 87 oldsmobile and never had any problems as far as it starting, and what makes it so bad they make cars now where you have to take the to the shop because the engine is in cased and everthing so close together,just like with the transmission fluid you have to get the car jaked up on a rake just to check that I just want some help in getting this car fixed without costing a arm and leg and by the way what yellow wire?
