I took my truck in this morning because it had a leak. Figured it was the hose to the transmission. Nope. Turns out it's the water pump, the break line hose, and something else. It's only gonna cost about $3 grand, not to mention $35 dollars a day to rent a car until Monday.
Guess I'm buying a new car next week -------------------- ![]() ![]() |

Oh you know will is full of it... in one breath he talks about getting a $60,000 car, the next breath he can't afford to fix his truck and decides a Honda Civic is probably the way to go... And on the breath in between he talks about some Corvette he has that requires 108 octane fuel

Oh you know will is full of it... in one breath he talks about getting a $60,000 car, the next breath he can't afford to fix his truck and decides a Honda Civic is probably the way to go... And on the breath in between he talks about some Corvette he has that requires 108 octane fuel The NSX I was looking at was a 2001 and cost around $38k. And when the fuck did I ever say I can't afford to fix my truck? I was just bitching because I took it in for what I thought was a small thing and it's gonna cost nearly $3k to fix and I'm gonna have to dip in to my savings. And FYI, I jotted the problems down when the asian guy I could hardly understand was telling me on the phone. I just got back and talked to another guy and got a list of what is wrong with it. The rear main seal that connects the transmission to the engine is cracked and eroded, and yes you have to remove the block to replace it. And it wasn't the brake line, it was the goddamned Hydra Tech brake booster. The other thing was the water pump. So yes the figure with parts and labor is probably accurate. The guy I talked to was either being vague or had no clue what he was talking about And yes, Chuck, my dad and I built a car using a '72 Stingray body all throughout high school because I used to race SCCA events and quarter miles. It has a 440 crate engine, Whipple supercharger, Demon carb, Edelbrock intake manifold, and a host of other performance shit. And yes, much like most drag/quarter cars, it uses higher octane fuel than regular cars. If you want I'll scan of the ad I took out about 6 years ago in Dupont Registry which lists my old cell phone number which I'm sure at least a few people on here have. I can also take pics if I can ever get my stupid digital camera to work I got a Dodge Avenger as a loaner. At least it's not a fucking Kia -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
