Default Engine mount replacement



Home run on an SL1 sedan engine mount replacement. This mount must have been bad when I bought this car years ago? It always sounded like a deluxe version sedan with that plastic rattling dash, but no more! This was the top passenger side engine mount. ($12.00) 5 bolts and it's off and back on with nothing else in the way. It's embarrassing thinking how long I let that go on when it was such an easy fix. And what a difference! No need for the radio upgrade to cover up the noise now so it's still the best bang for the buck car I've ever had by a good margin.

Nice and shiny! What part of Texas are you in? East Texas myself.

Houston. Ya, I was so glad to have it coming back together so good that I had to give it a welcome back wax. The rock dings in the front show it's mileage but it still has a flawless factory windshield too.

Good one!
It's a long drive for the biden sing a long, and that's not a very catchy song anyway. But I'm not getting any younger either and from the sound of it. That Saturn doesn't want to retire either, so what the hell?
Might be time for a road trip.

Politics by today's standards is worse than a 30 year old soap opera rerun

The Nuge is playing Billy Bob's in Fort Worth 8/19/23. Man that is one hard rolling old ****!
Politics? Ya some things never change. Well, except treason being an executable offense of course!

Hey earl, I was taking a closer look at your Satty and am wondering about the color. Is that a dark green that I see? Doesn't matter, it looks damned good.
