As a reward to myself for quitting smoking in August, after 30 years, I have $50 a week burning a hole in my pocket. (What the hell was I thinking!)
For the smokers out there you know what I mean, quitting isn't that easy.

It cost me about $10k to quit. In the form of a spare no expense 2 week driving vacation with the family. We drove from our home Victoria BC to California and back. My goal was roller coasters, my daughter wanted to swim with dolphins, my son was all about LEGOLAND and my wife just wanted to sit and watch(relax). Of course we did all the major attractions and Parks along the way.

I have never smoked around my family but they know I did, wasn't a secret. Being with them 24/7 for 17 days didn't leave a lot of time for smokes so I figured it was the best time. Anyone trying to quit I recommend this method. Except for the packing around a gallon of water on my back for 10 hours a day. We weren't used to the 95+ august weather in Cali. San Diego was a nice break and a beautiful city. I was a little jealous. Of course its no Victoria BC, but it'll do, in a pinch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here is my reward:
100k 2001 EJ25 with manual trans, about $900 USD
Had the coil pack and head gaskets done in December was running until 2 weeks ago when the owner rolled the Forester it was in.

Unfortunately what I considered to be the "wiring harness and computer" differed from the wrecking yard: See yellow oval, should be workable?
