havent been on in awhile

Post by 69rangerf100 »

hey guys hope nothing crazy has happened in the last month. so here is what has been going on with me. my DD was eating 5 quarts of oil every 3 days. the joker that i paid to do my engine swap took 3 weeks to do the install for my new JDM engine that had 1/4 or the miles that my stock engine had. so i got the car back a week a go and have had engine code after code being thrown at me so i finally got every thing squared away and just in time my Bday is tomorrow and i finally have the car were it will pass emissions so that is first on the list to do tomorrow then school. why is it that new cars are such a pain in the rear? and what hurts even more is my bump money got eaten up buy getting my DD drive able again. :x :x :x 1100 for the install and engine then another 400 for the cat and the 2- o2 sensors that were completely gummed up from all the oil that was being burned off.

sorry guys i had to vent

On a good note you now have your DD going good. I know what it is like saving $$$ for one thing and having to use it for something else. It is ok to vent, better than holding it in until you explode.
