Angry Just venting.. Did yet another fix

Just spent two hours in the drive way doing option "B" for the abs modulator. The amigos have been visiting me about 3 times a week. Coming home last night while doing about 70mph the amigos said "hello" so I said enough was enough. I did the wire bypass because it was free and a likely fix. I couldn't see paying 120 at the dealer just to find out a abs code before I at least did eerything I could for free. So I bypassed the svs circuit board. Cranked it up, no amigos... We'll see how long it last. Every day I feel like I have to repair something. In two weeks I have done the following:

new front brakes
new tires
resealed valve covers - inspected rockers and push rods
new plug wires
new plugs
flushed engine
syn oil with premium filter
oil pressure gauge using the filter sandwhich adapter
rebuilt front driveshaft
wired in push start because I lost my keys (found them 4 days later)
fixed seat lumbar control
put new battery in
changed trans oil
topped off tcase
ohm'd out all abs sensors to make sure they weren't the amigo issue
fixed throttle body coolant leak
bled cooling system
replaced pass side front o2 sensor to fix CEL
water pump appears to be leaking out weep hole
serpent belt is cracked and needs replacing
.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol thank god I'm doing all this myself... Owning this thing would cost a fortune paying some one to do it.

It take a very special person to own one for more than a month.
