Fortunately, I still have my other toy (Mitsubishi Eclipse) to drive in the meantime.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the sympathy & empathy. I'm glad there are others in the same boat as me who is able and willing to share their experiences similar to what I am cryin' about

I actually and honestly needed it tonight.

On top of that, the guy who I was talking about that was unfortunately laid off by his shop just called me to help calm me down and help put my mind at ease about all of this.

So thank you to both of you, and to the mechanic friend that gave me a call to calm me down about things.

You guys are the best,

I think my problem is I keep thinking it is going to be done soon but I have unrealistic expectations.
Maybe I need to set my mind on it being complete by 2020 so that if done any earlier I can feel really happy lol
