It's been under development for nearly 30 years and still can't provide a fully reliable, stable connection.

Really? I've never had a problem. I've driven from Colorado to Florida and Colorado to Louisiana (and back) and streamed content via Bluetooth the entire way. Never had any issues. The only time it has issues is when the phone is in my pocket and I walk too far away from the vehicle- but I don't blame Bluetooth as it works fine when the phone is in the truck. And inside the house, we Bluetooth music to a small speaker all the time- and again, range is the only downfall but range is significantly better with this speaker than with my truck's headunit.

Changed the oil today. In the dark. In 28F. No time during the day these days. No wind though, so I was quite warm. Now the winter oil change is out of the way and I won't have to do that s**t again until spring.

check on e-bay or rock auto

total cost for his 06 as compared to your 99 will be different but you can price the parts as you look them up

Figured I'd post up some pics I managed to take of that front end job last night, if anyone needs info on parts or labor I can help you out, took about 6-8 to do both sides in the front for me.

I've been finding that Advance Auto is cheaper when using their Speed Perks thing and the discount code TRT30.
