I had a 99 Acura Integra and couldn't get it to crank just about scrapped it. Uncle LV said pop the hood let me take a look. I swear he looked all of three seconds and said get me some jb weld so I went and got it. He mixed up a lil and said crank it in the morning. I thought he was loosing it. Well the next morning came he said let's go for a ride. Still I was doubtful, but low n behold he fixed it without breaking a sweat. So we rode to the beach to have a beer and stare at bikinis. God has one damn good mechanic that I'm gonna miss.
