I talked to the mechanic about my car

[HEyHEY]

It's FUCKED. I DID throw a rod, and the block is cracked. He says the crack drained all the oil super fast and that's when the motor seized.

Ugh...this I don't need

[GOPisEvil]

1. *cringe*

That's gonna leave a mark. Sorry, dude.

[HEyHEY]

2. Yup - new engine time

I may as well bend of and put a wooden spoon in my mouth

[pagerbear]

5. Dang, that sucks.

Now explain what those things mean to someone who only knows where the ignition key and gas nozzle go.

[HEyHEY]

6. It means one piece of the engine blew threw another

Basically I own a hunk of steel now

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. I hereby lift your curse HeyHey!

[HEyHEY]

7. thanks!

Let's see how it goes

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. Do not question the effectiveness of Gypsy Magic!

Isn't that what got you into the mess in the first place?

[HEyHEY]

11. I believe so

Through my own fault

[flamingyouth]

14. Would you please lift my curse while you're at it?

Now my basement is leaking, on top of everything else. Goddamn it. :cry:

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. I hereby lift your curse Flamingyouth!

[murielm99]

23. How about the Cubs and the Red Sox?

Can you lift their curses, too?

[BigMcLargehuge]

25. I must summon many powerful Gypsys to lift that curse

and rent a couple of front-end loaders...

[flamingyouth]

24. Thanks, I feel better already!

In fact, I even think it's stopped raining! :D

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. I threw in a little sunlight just for you...

[physioex]

10. Ummm...Mr. Moderator sir....

That's HeyHeY....Unless you are in a informal relations with the guy...

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. DO NOT MAKE ME CURSE YOU!!

[physioex]

4. Don't spend any more money on it....

Consider buying another used car instead.....Yes I know your finances are probably in the dumps...

[HEyHEY]

8. Well, the thing is

THe rest of the car is mint, and a used engine may cost $1,000. I bought the car for $2,700 so I doubt I'll look for another. I'll pay the grand.

[pagerbear]

13. What kind of car? How old?

$1000 Canadian? That's, what, $69.95 US? <pagersmirk>

[HEyHEY]

16. 1992 tercel

WIth only 140,000 kms on it, but because of work and such I've put a whopping 40,000 kms since December on it.

[Worst Username Ever]

21. AH! A "km." I've heard of those... somewhere... ;-)

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. almost enough for two hamsters and a little treadmill

[2Design]

12. What I did when my timing chain went last dec

My car had 250,000 miles on it. So a new engine would have been 1500 to 2000 bucks. The car was 10 years old. I was spending about 1500 a year on up keep, only because I had a mechanic that barely charged much over the parts. Or it would have been double that amount to fix.

I needed a dependable car. The car dealers in usa had bunches of deals. Bought a pt cruiser for 130000 at 1.9% which is about 320 a month for 4 years.

I have a dependable car that is like a car/station wagon/truck all rolled into one.

Just passing on my exerience which might give you some hope for another solution....

[HEyHEY]

18. truthfully, I'm gonna have to call the banking firm of Mom, Dad & wallet

Cause there is no way I can get this done.

[Book Lover]

20. Think of it as an opportunity

to get some sweet steel in your engine bay.



Is it working?

[HEyHEY]

22. Oh yeah, headers, a new camshaft, maybe NOS

That fucker will light up like a christmas tree and flat out walk the dog
