reggie sounds like an orca whale ... again.
i think it was november that i took him in for a check-up and my mechanic fixed him up real pretty, even changed the power steering fluid tubing because it had a leak.
about a month later, he started squealing at me on cold mornings whenever i turned the wheel. so, after text-consulting a car guru friend, i took him back to the shop. my mechanic tightened the belts and added a super-powered-additive-juice-something to the power steering fluid. pronto! reggie stopped complaining.
until a couple weeks ago. the orca whale is back.
(oh -- i don't actually know what an orca whale sounds like, as opposed to a regular whale, but i presume it says something like "ooorr-caaaaa", which is what reggie says, too, so ... there you go.)
i texted my car guru friend again. he says it might be expensive to fix. so i was thinking of trying to fix it myself. because, y'know, i *am* a fan of do-it-yourselfing it in general -- i mean, if you *can* do it, why not? besides, i figure learning how to fix cars is a good thing.
which is, i am sure, what the owner of this vehicle thought:
see the funniez? yeah, i captured that perfect shot that on the way home a few months ago. heh.

"did that sound a bit orca-ish to you? I think I put a little bit of orca in there."
I am with you on the do it yourself stuff. but where's the time to do it? right?
I love your picture. You should call this guy to see what he would recommend. Hope Reggie feels better soon.
HA! Some people are very interesting! Good luck with reg- he has to pull through this:) The brakes were going out on our car so brad took it in last week and the mechanic was going to charge us $200 to fix them- ouch! So we called my brother and he and brad fixed them for seriously $20 it was pretty awesome and they did it one night! Maybe you can find a cute guy to help you with Reggie:)
