Talking with the wife this morning about me selling the white car and putting some of the money into the green car to get it mechanically sound as well as cosmeticlly appealing.....told her that by the end of Jan. I should have my 2.0 back together and that will go into the car and once that is done, car should be darn near perfect for a daily driver.
Converstation went something like this: "so, how much does it cost to rebuild the engine??" oh, about 4 grand "!@#$#$, how can it cost so much??" that is just what it cost .......well, I did omit the fact that yesterday I ordered a set of Nickies that pretty much doubled the original cost of the rebuild (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) should be a sweet little 2.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) You have never meant my wife. She can rebuild an engine on her own. She knows how much the parts cost, and why they cost so much. She also massages the budget to make it happen. She is the whole reason I have a garage, and a lift to go in it!!! She is the best thing that ever happened to me.......... Hmmm....Clay, why was your avatar peggin' when you wrote this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
