Message	in the second week. Spent 3k to fix the motor. (myself) and the shop did a crapy job. not long ago i blew the motor again. Now i'm doing a twin turbo swap. all that in less than a year, I'm about $14,000 in the hole and i could maybe get 8k for the car when it's done. Now take that money split it in half, one half downpayment on a nice/decent NEW car. and the other half... well what u do with 7k is up to you. Think about it.
