i'm a computer geek, not a mechanical geek... I have my limits and that is clearly beyond what I can do lol

I should be getting a decent settlement at the end of the year, so I think i'll just keep researching what-ifs and such while i wait. I'm still a little gun shy about doing a full swap, as it just FEELS like a massive money sink in the long run, but who knows, might be an easy fix to all my wants/needs.
