I may try to fix her oil pan again tomorrow. She says that she is fed up with the car and does not want to do anything else with it.

I still do not know what the problem was when I replaced her oil pan. She said twice that I did not tighten the bolts enough, but a mechanic suggested that I over-tightened and stripped them. She said that I may have, completely contradicting herself.

She said that when she redid it on Monday, she could not remove all of the gasketmaker, even after two hours of sanding. She supposedly did a third time and said she paid two mechanics, who were so fed up they threw my tools in her trunk.

She told me to make her a list of what I am missing, it should be in her trunk somewhere.

I am going to see if I can get her original pan welded and now that I found my torque wrench, I will use that.

She thought she apologized for being rude to me, it just did not seem apologetic to me.
