    I have sincerest thanks and respect to Dennis for the way he diagnosed and repaired our car. We had had a local "mechanic" work on our car previously, and Dennis ended up having to do almost everything he did over again. I knew the brakes were off, but I had no idea how truly bad they were.

    We are immensely enjoying the ride now.

    It feels like a brand new Festiva (or what we figure one would be like).

    Dennis couldn't be a nicer person.

      Oh, and the thing most important and forgotten:

      You most likely saved our lives, Dennis.

      Thank you so much.

            Dennis also gladly drove a good 100 miles in snow storm conditions with at least 4 inches on the ground already, to bring me a throwout bearing so I could get my f swap complete at 12 pm!!!! After trying to FORCE him to take 20 bucks I gave up( would've spent at least 40 for possibly the wrong part anyways.) this cat really cares and will be a friend of mine for the long haul!!! I hope to meet you sometime spike !!

                I nominate Dennis for Member Of the Month (MOM). And if there isn't one, I'd like to start it.

                If he's like me, he really doesn't want the recognition, but also if he's like me, he gets taken advantage of probably a little too often because of his abilities. Sometimes a hearty "THANKS!!" from your "brothers in arms" (or in this case, Festys) gives you a little more faith in mankind. I really enjoy helping people, but don't like getting taken advantage of.

                      Too true! I know I feel bad when he helps me and I wish there was something I knew on cars that he didn't so I could help him :p So instead I send him a tolken of my appreciation should be there anyday now!

                      I also vote Dennis as M.O.M.

                            Yes, Larry is correct, I didn't do it for the recognition. I did it to help out, and I updated for anyone that may been curious how this turned out. If I inspired someone to help out someone in need, then even better.
