Default Car starts running badly...

.... starting a day ago. I was also getting the dreaded driveshaft
squeak so I called Mike's Place <http://www.mikes-place.biz/> and made
an appointment for this AM.

They replaced the drive shaft for $100, they'd replaced it four years
earlier with a used one and it was long out of warranty but I'd only
driven 6,262 miles since so they gave me a deal.

The running like crap was plugs and wires, I'd suspected as much. I
believe the plugs and wires they replaced were installed by Mazda
150,000+ miles ago, if so, I can't complain about the life of them!

So all is well and it's running as it should, now if they could only
install a used left knee so I could shift it...... <sigh>

I believe they recalled all the used left knee joints and hip replacements.
