Ready to give up! (Rant)
 

I'm gonna sell off all my cars & buy a dadgummit bicycle

Not like I'd get much for them, none of them runs at the moment. My Pinto, the last running car in my 4 car inventory blew the frack up! #4 cylinder let go.
My Leggy is down with a case of the EJ25 HG-itis.
My SVX is down with a bad case of high clutch freakiness.
My Olds Is down for the Pass Key anti-theft system.
Finally, the Pinto expired today, after a 3 day bout with a Rod Knock (RIP my trusty Steed)

One of these days I'll get a break.

That sucks Paul.

There was a time over the summer, where between Melis and I, 1 of the 6 cars was running :(

Wish I was closer and could give a hand...

That sucks! The olds should be the easy fix though.
If you have good insurance on one of them you could always...
Never mind that last thought. (or...):D

wow,
that sucks,
i wish i could do somthing useful
let me know if there is nay way that i can help out

I know the feeling. When I did my bearing I garaged the car for about a month. (waiting for parts, waiting to get a chance to use the press at the shop...) When I finally got it back together I had one day of joyful SVXing, and then the alternator cooked itself good and proper. That took a week to sort out.

I'm fortunate to have the Taurus to drive as a backup, that thing does not quit. It has only failed once, and that was because of a 7 year old battery.

Just take a step back and breath. Are you far from svxfiles? It sucks when crap happens.

'FILES' has a project this minute! He will be available when I get my lil' red wagon back!

On the Pinto, I have seen a 390 Ford in one! You might have to Subi-2.2 that rascal!

Maybe you and Huck can brain storm to get the SVX going...he's close to you.

HI, Melis!!! aint seen you since the 'pumpkin carve'!

I know the solution to your problem.

Give that BEAUTIFUL '97 to me. No?:o

How about I trade for a bottle of Asti? Oh that's right, its only Tom who would go for that...:rolleyes:

Hey! I got a bicycle! I'll trade! It's nice, Haro Ryan Nyquist Edition Backtrail X3, from back when I used to dirt-jump. Its a really pretty blue too...:lol:

Paul,
Get with me, we can work something out....
We'll get you back on the road.

Ouch! Is that HG the coolant-leaking-out kind, or the <shiver> coolant-meets-oil kind? I was happy (?) to find that when my 2k Legacy's left bank went, it was coolant-out.

Re: Pinto... 2.3L turbo! There's got to be a Turbo Coupe rusting somewhere...

Hi Jerry:) Happy Holidays!

Crazy, this sucks that you are stuck with little to no wheels. Hopefully this is the last bad crap to happen before the New Year hits. Hopefully 2008 will be a little easier on you.

Thanks Melis,
'07 has been a VERY bad year for us. Hopefully this is the crescendo of that bad luck.
The Pinto isn't dead, but she's definitely wounded. I can fix her fairly cheap & quick tho.
Hopefully by close of business today, I'll have the olds back on the road.

40 cars and I'm driving the GMC 3/4 ton to work.
 

Lil red wagon down, wife has keys to other Outback CLENCHED in FIST, DARING me to try for them. Super-clean Dodge sitting in barn to keep salt off, Street rod in bed, SVX under construction, yadda,yadda!

GMC gets about 9 mpg in town. it makes NO heat! Radiator cooked and re-installed 3 weeks ago, new thermostat installed sat, another new thermostat installed yesterday, heater core flushed tonight and a piece of cardboard installed in front of rad. Now it makes a couple degrees differance.


Sure do miss lil' red!!!!!
