I feel bad this has happened, but I truly had no idea. I had been under the black one myself, but a garage did Bones waxoyl.
You honestly have no reason to feel bad Dawn. Bones is 20 years old, and to be honest has lasted far longer that many newer cars. Keep in mind that all the parts you've already replaced were still in excellent condition - It's just the original parts of the car that are failing now.

In any event, I've asked Mickeyboy if he can hook me up, so I should be able to get Bones back to snuff for far less than 800 big ones.
