    For a $1,000 a month, you would think it would raise your dads credit score up, to be able to buy a new car.

    Re: the $1000 rental

    well, if you want to raise your credit score, there's a site where you can buy a higher credit score. how it works, people with good credit and a credit card in good standing basically sell a spot on that credit card, although you can't actually use the card. but their good history goes on your credit history, and stays there forever, raising your score in the process. i forgot the name of the site, though. so you'll have to poke around and find it.

    wonderful, that stuff will work. i wasn't sure, because i heard they switched to a new blend since the 80s that's not optimal for our trannies. did you put a little extra to give some extended life to 5th gear?

    well the guy at honda said that the new stuff should work better than the old stuff. yeah...i took out the old fluid out and then i put in the MFT and 5th gear runs like a champ. i trust it soo much i put 265 miles in a day....85% was 5th gear.
