Plans never seem to work out XD
12 years ago
Well I'm not going to end up getting the house now :/
It's a bummer but I've come to expect things to go differently than I plan. Which means I have no clue what to do now.
On a good note..
I've dumped near $1000 into my car (maybe more) but thats a great deal considering all that has been and will be done to it.
Replaced the EGR Valve, Coolant Temp Sensor, IAC Valve, coolant overflow tank, new plugs and wires myself.
Had a buddy replace the struts, and strut mounts and next he's gonna do the inner and outer tie rod ends and ball joints (come to find out they were the originals with all 211,000 miles on them :o ) and I'll have all new engine gaskets and a rocker knock fixed (although they were ALL supposed to have been replaced on that car when I acquired it...) in truth it was only the valve cover gaskets...
Anyways, the tie rods, ball joints, and intake/rocker fix with parts and labor will only cost $280 :D I LOVE having connections XD
After thats all said and done I hope to maybe save up to take a road trip :D I'm excited nonetheless. Sucks about the house but atleast I'll have a good car in the end :D Then I can test to see how close she'll make it to the 150 mark on the speedo *grins* :D :D
