Yea, so I got a new engine in my car. I was driving one night back home from work, when all of a sudden i hear this clanking noise, and it got louder and louder. The car tried to die on me a couple of times, but it remained strong w/ me only goin 35 down the highway lol. So when I got home, my engine completely died. The next morning when my dad took a look at it, there was oil all over the bottom hood protectant and the oil lid was lying on my engine strut. He told me I forgot to put on my oil cap lol, so the engine just sprayed all the oil out i guess. Anyway, he said one of his friends would do a swap for cheap and would even get new hoses and a new clutch for me all for 1900 bux. The engine that we got had about 70k miles on it for 650 bux. It was the best bad thing that could happen. So now we're doin a complete rebuild on the car. So since the car has a new engine, hoses, clutch, and gas struts, it easily has a 4000 dollar value now. The rest I'm paying for on my own. Gotta get it realigned, new brake pads *brakes rotated if necessary* and 2 new tires, cuz my old back struts cupped my tires and ruined the inside of them. After that, I'm buying exhaust, and gonna try to find jdm tails.
It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
