[dem beats 1,223]

I get to try putting in new COP's in the expy this week. I sure as chit hope it fixes the shaking/power loss in the truck. I with I could find that kenny bell blower for it too. I really would love to have some more power.

Decent or not they can still suck. I've had good luck there, but that doesn't mean squat in the world of buying a car.

Sean, I know you said they are a decent dealer but I officialy HATE Sears auto. They have done me dirty 2 times now on that E55 there.

I test drove a black one last night, with the wife, and holly chit did I get the run around. Last time I came in about that car I told the guy my price, he said no way, then called me the next day.

I come in last night and ask for just a bit under(2,500) what I was offered in a voice mail from the jack ass from last time. And they guy comes down and says "Oh no way, they want MUCH MORE." I told him BS I was offerd it for only 2500 more just last month. I nearly lost it, as this time I brought the wife in to seriously look at the car. It's been there 8 months chewing up their invintory dollars. Now they have 2 nearly identical e55's on the lot. Really smooth.

I give up. MN dealers have sucked every bit of enjoyment out of looking for a new car. The wife is going to drive hers untill it dies, and I am just going to toss money into keeping my truck alive and fun. I was *so* mad.

if people do not want your business right now (given the state of the economy) there is something wrong with them.

FUCK EBAY. I had a listing removed because of trademark infringement.

wtf is this shit ? I list a watch on ebay and I automatically infinge a trademark ?

Let me guess, Directed?

Nope, it was a Breitling watch.

ooooooooh! nice watch

She kinda laughed at my idea of going to Colorado and touring all the breweries we could...

She didn't dismiss it either.

go to Durango, CO

beautiful little town with amazing beer

There are a lot of awesome towns in CO. You could drive through the mountains and see all the great scenery and local small towns. Their small towns are a lot nicer than the small towns in kansas, haha.

Ahahaha.

But, but, but, we have the worlds largest ball of twine!

lol...okaaaaayy...

colorado is the bomb though. if money was right, and weather, i'd grab the king and meet tom in durango. then head north into the mountains, leadville, cripple creek, garden of the gods amd whereever else one wants to cruise in the rockys. it's been 18 looong years since i moved away from there, and i miss it more every year. illinois sucks as much as kansas is flat, lol...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[mrray13 30]

Any ideas for some cheap spring break ideas? The third week in March is our spring break and me and the woman are kinda thinking of a cheap thing to do for at least a couple of days. Anywhere within 600-700 miles of Kansas is driving distance for me.

i'd say drive out here...lots of local winerys to visit. lots! probably take care of most of them in a couple of days, depending upon pace...otherwise, ask sean, not a whole helluva lot going on. but well within your driving radius i believe.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eee

the AZFBA had a BBQ on Sunday:

i'm currently craving an fbody. looking at an early 90's with a jasper motor in it, took the fi out. got a big edlebrock on it currently. asking too much for it, $3500, as it needs some work. but the bro-in-law and the owner are in good, kinda partners with some dogs, so i might be getting it dirt cheap. but i would much rather have a later, 98-00, model.

ehhh, neither will probably happen...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[mrray13 30]

4th post in a row. damn...and that's three of them while catching up....

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Didn't mean to call you a dirty rotten scoundrell or anything similar. just frustrated. I really thought I was going to have myself a new car in the garage for a while there. We talked a lot more last night, and the funds are just going to go into some investments, and maybe buy another property. Heck, I could get 3 homes for the cost of that car over Norf side.

=)

I just needed to vent. The wife and I thought we found a compromise, especialy with the truck not up and running right now.

LT1 cars are so cheap nowadays, but the price of LS1 cars has come down a lot too so there is almost no point in buying an LT1. The LS1 cars are so much easier to work on and much faster.

I would love to find a Camaro/TA. My buddy had his in the 11's on a cam.

On another not so positive car note, I went to buy the S6 today and the puckers had a sold sign in the window. Some jakalope from IL is coming on Saturday to pick it up. DOH!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! i wanted to see some german v10 pics.

i'm really loving this netbook, it's not much slower than my 2.0 pentium M and it gets a legit 4 hours of use on battery. for less than the cost of an ipod it doesn't make a half bad portable media device either (especially with a 160gb hd).

I have totally given up. All the car buying joy is gone. I know if a buy a car right now, I will just look at it with bad memories. If I need a car toy fix, I'll just buy something for the truck... or maybe just finish my projects. I STILL haven't put in the fi q the hybrid 8's, or run any wires for amps. And have more to deaden too.

=P
