Where do I stop? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be 740ATL on  Wed Sep 8 14:55 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I see cars like yours in the junkyard every week... you can tell too because of all the new parts. The person kept fixing and upgrading and fixing and fixing until it got to the point where something small broke like a radiator or a brake caliper and you can tell the person just reached a point where "dammit, I'm not spending another dime on this car" and got rid of it for the first person to give him $100.

I've gotten brand new springs, new stainless brake hoses, knock sensors, water pumps, calipers, fuel injectors, struts, exhaust, etc.

Seriously... think about it. What is the biggest thing that could happen to your car aside from an accident?

Engine dies? Get one for $100 from the junkyard... rent a cherry picker and do the swap in your driveway...

Tranny goes? $50.

Struts? Brakes? minor fixes...

Think about it... chill... have a 6-pak, then sit back and think about what a superior vehicle you are driving compared to joe soccerdad with his oil burning minivan

my 2c... I've been where you are before several times.
