ya, she was also selling the car a few times last year as well lol

 

yeah I remeber that... I was told (by our mutual aquaintance ) that she more or less got herself financed, to realize that her monthly expenses were too high...
that's gotta suck;
I nearly found myself in a similar situation back in 2002;
I actually wanted to buy a Firebird Formula, then when GM announced the F-bodies were being cancelled, I looked long and hard at my finances, but just could not justify it - that would have been putting myself into a bad spot...

I'm glad i didn't do it... but still bummed that they're no longer made.

 

ya oh well, **** happens. its what you do after all the **** is gone and all your left with is the stains that matters lol

 

oh man,

i would be sitting SOOOOO comfortably if i didnt trade my Ion in for my truck!! it was a spur of the moment thing... i regret it.. a lot! hahah

 

well it's like Steve (essentially) said, 'you live & learn' right?

 

yupp

i make alot of spur of the moment decisions and most of the time i ending being pretty happy with the outcome... dont get me wrong, love my truck!! but i would be in a WAYYY better spot financially if i had kept my ion...

 

Ha if I started packing a lunch everyday and eating breakfast at home, I would probably have saved like 500$ this year alone

 

@ Soundjunky - The person that post wad directed to should know who they are. I will not name any names, and I will leave the drama alone. I just wanted the birdie to know that I know what it's chirping, and they should just stay out of it.

 

I'm actually getting excited already for this weekend. I'll be making alot of money, and going on the cruise

 

I'm pretty excited for this weekend too actually. Lots of fun stuff happening.

 

and the weather is really nice to boot

 

If the wind would beep off

 

agreed, wind is stupidly strong today

 

ya it is. but it comes and goes

 

It's going to be a busy weekend for me. Well at least for my car... Get off work at 5. Hit Calgary and race city ASAP. Head to lethbridge afterwards. Meet some realtors Saturday. Then drive back up Calgary for the night. Then the cruise then back to sylvan. My car is going to hit the 100km mark in no time.

 

good news: got my car back

better news: my flywheel was apparently the most fubar'd the tech has ever seen, it's like night and day difference. Probably a bit of placebo effect because the car has a lot less vibration now, but it feels like it was robbing me of 10-15 hp

In typical Murray fashion: threw a CEL as I was 30 seconds from the dealer. So it goes back tomorrow...

 

Hopefully it's an easy fix this time

 

Hopefully... it's sooo much smoother now. My clutch is really spongy and picks up right off the floor now; I stalled TWICE leaving the dealer cause it used to catch right at the top almost and I wasn't expecting it to be any different.

 

I hope you can get the car back in time for the cruise.

 

91 gas was 1.429 at Esso, I think. God have mercy.

 

It's stupid. I remember when I was younger it was half that, and people thought it was high

 

10 years ago i was payin 60 cents a litre (purple gas)

 

I filled up my first tank of gas 12 years ago at 44 cents a liter.....

 

i don't understand why we're all still bitching about gas prices. yes they are expensive. not much we can do as it would take a combined effort across canada to help drive prices down (thats not gonna happen) and your gonna fill up your car regardless. so next time you fill up, bring some lube so when they are raping you in the ass it doesn't hurt so much.

 

haha i work for an oil and gas company and the fact that oil has dropped in price over last week and gas went up 10 cents is funny. THe two never track eachother when oil comes down in price but as soon as oil goes up gas goes up, funny how that works

i know there is alot of details behind the scenes trust me, but the simple view of it makes me laugh
