This may have been the only car we could find in a hurry, when we needed to, but it sure has a few problems.
Lately, the speedometer and tach needles have started bouncing up and down occasionally. I'll be doing 40 and suddenly the speedometer starts bouncing all over the place, like up to 80 MPH and down again. Then it goes back to working fine.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

See if someone forgot to fully tighten the alternator bolts.

I have some other checking to do on this car, too. When I flip the high beams on, the headlights go out. Not sure if the high beam filaments are burned out, but I'm gonna replace them with brighter ones anyway, and will see. Just gotta get past all the obstructions. I have a video.

Nope. Super busy - running a home based business and taking care of a handicapped sister, injured in a car accident. Plus, I had to wait for the new super bright bulbs to come from Amazon.
Plus, I tend to avoid things a little, that I haven't done before. Then I do them and realize how easy they were.
