Heh... haven't posted on here in a long time... I will be suprised if any of you know me... I'm Gabo... better known for spillin rice all over my volvo (see pics of my old 83' 242Ti)
I crashed that car and fixed it and then blew the engine after converting to 5 speed.. boy that was a fun car.. i went through a couple more cars after that (read about all that stuff on my website that hasn't been updated in 2 years.
As fate would have it some bitch in a 2001 Buick Lesabre ran into the rear drivers side of my 87' Toyota Camary going about 60mph that I had purchased for $500 (This car had worked for about a year... a new record for any car that I've owned or driven for a long period of time.. I tend to run cars into the ground on a regular basis). Well my car was royally f***ed or as her insurance company said "totalled". Up until yesterday I was cruisin around in a 2002 chrystler seebring that her insurance company was paying for.. which was fun as hell becuase I purchased the extra insurance on it so I could roll the car off a cliff and I only have to pay $12.95 ;)
Seeing as my toyota got toyotalled her insurance company made me an offer of $2,364.06 for my car... I called them back and complained that since I could not open the doors on my drivers side I could not take apart the dash and get out my speakers (these speakers were some little pioneers that I had purchased at best buy for $19.99 as an open item for my silver 244 turbo which was the first car I ever owned.. they made their way from the silver 244 to the black 242ti to my 67 stang to my 87 camary... and boy were they beat to hell). So they offered me $100 for my speakers... which i reluctantly accepted.... haha
Maybe I should explain about my 87' Camary some more.. I bought this car for $500 about a year ago. It had 173,000 miles on it and was just a car for me to keep for a couple months until I saved some cash for something I wanted. I put over 10,000 miles on this car and I had only changed the oil once (when I first bought the car). I also blew a tire and got a crappy little $30 tire at pep boys. So maintinence on this car for a year brought me to right about $50.. hahah 1 oil change and a new tire. It had an oil leak so I'd just add a quart every couple of weeks. Actually when the car would start overheating (which meant all the WATER [why waste money on antifreeze when it was just gonna leak out anyway?] in the cooling system evaporated or leaked out then I knew it was time to add another quart of oil. Also someone had shot my car 7 times... either with a .22 from a distace or with a high powered pellet or bb gun.. haven't figured out which but I think my friends a**hole neighbors who's house I'd always park in front of shot it... My stereo was ghetto fabulous too... my friend gave me a cd player that had the volume buttons had broken off.. so I used a car alarm remote and some cable i had laying around and you pressed lock or unlock to turn the music up or down. I already went over my front speakers.. as for the back I used some speakers from one of those all in one stereo systems for your house.. i just had the speakers sitting in the back seat. This car was 100% GHETTO... But I cleaned out the car and vaccumed it and took the speakers out of the back seat and the face of my cd deck before the insurance people had a chance to come out and look at it. I was contimplating going to pepboys and buying those retarded bullet hole stickers to put over my real bullet holes so the insurance company wouldn't know my car actually had holes in it and try to give me less money but i never got around to it. So I made about $2000 off that car and it lasted way longer than it should have with me behind the wheel (took that car up to 110 and even drove it from austin to houston and back once).
Now i'm sittin here with all this money and no car.. well tomorrow I may be back to broke but pimpin something nice. I'm lookin at gettin a this bad boy
but of course I'd have to give it the Gabo touch so it should be lookin like this within a month or so
hehehe.. yeah same old Gabo right?
Seeing as I make money now I'm thinkin about doing this car good and proper if I get it. Eventually I'd like to put a supercharged v8 in it to replace that 6 cylinder poor excuse for an engine that they came with. Unfortunately this one has a rebuilt engine and I'm going to run it off mobil 1 so I might have to wait a while before I get a good excuse to throw a big bad v8 in there. I may also put a volvo turbo engine in there but I'm not gonna even think about it until I get the car. So anyway there is a chance that you might be seeing more of me around these parts again and those of you that don't remember me cuz I was before your time will get to know me.

PS I am going to look at it tomorrow at which time I'll either buy it or say some gabo like thing about the car and be stuck in houston for a day.
