one less Reatta technician

[bigrog]

I finally did it, quit my day job. I've been wrenching on Buicks for about 13 years now, and took on new career challenges. I'm now an instructor at Universal Technical Institute in Glendale Heights, IL (chicago). Teaching driveability, with an emphasis on GM. My back feels like a slinky, and my hands are clean. I still love to work on cars, just don't want to have to make a living out of it anymore. This might be a good fit. The field is now minus one more technician well versed in Reatta electronics. As a bonus, I've been with my wife so long, I didn't think I would ever be right about anything again. Wow, what a surprise.

Just picked up a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP for the agressive drive to work. Makes the driving and traffic a little fun.

congratulations! Quick before you forget - how do you get the gear shift knob off a 89 Reatta?

Small clip on the front side of the knob... pry it out, lift knob

Time to start tinkering w/the GTP...Whizaired CAI, 3.4" S/C pulley, 180 tstat, ubend delete, etc,etc and you'll have even more fun. Visit www.clubgp.com for one of the best GP/GTP forums on the net.

Hey, you didn't quit, you found a way to "clone yourself" so there can be more "wrenches" out here helping the inept of the world get their cars running. We won't go into the ethics issues that have been flogged to death here though. After all, someone has to pass on the torch.

Congratulations!!!
