Message So late last night I got bored. Went outside to mess around with the Z and try to locate some of these vaccum leaks.

Its only running stock boost maybe a little more. Take it for a spin, still not running right. Then I get to the stopsign a mile from my house, and the temp gauge immediately goes to H and water starts spewing. It dies, I re-start it and it is making this clanking noise.

I called my sister and we went and got the good ole mustang and pushed her home. So while I'm fighting this f*ing car to start, it hits me.....that stupid gawd awful freaking sound that I am hearing is that same stupid gawd awful freaking sound I have heard 2 times before.

#2 Rod bearing is SPUN!!!!! What the hell? So while I was typing this I came to the realization that the rod that I keep re-using must be the problem and now I feel like a complete freaking idiot. Didn't even bother to find out where the water was coming from. There was no point.

So...my options are:
#1: Beat the hell out of the car with my baseball bat because of my temper problem with this car.
#2: Part it out!
#3 Sell it.
#4 Just buy a 95 or 96 and never ever let myself try to work on it again.
#5 Calm down and pay someone to do the work for me.

I just purchased new turbo's.... new this.... new that. I was really hoping that this was it and I would get to enjoy my baby again. I had made plans to get the body work and paint re-done in March. I really HATE driving that trans am and mustang.

My Z has finally defeated me. I give. That Z is possessed. Evil. What should I do now?
