On Saturday I was driving up to San Jose when I lost all oil pressure and snapped a connecting rod. Whole engine=toast!!! Now it is stuck in San Jose and left me with no transportation to work. All I needed for it was to last 4 more weeks til I had enough $$ to buy a daily driver (nothing special). But it nickled and dimed me til the last minute so when it died it left me broke as well. Now I have to make some decisions and quick. I can only sleep on my co-worker's floor for so long (I have to commute to Salinas and now I have to stay there) and walk to see my clients is going to get old fast. Anyways, thats my rant and rave for the day.

I am not selling the car just yet.....its simply being stored until I am ready to do the original project that I wanted to do to the car. But if worse comes to worse, I will post it up here for sale and PM you to let you know.

Well as it turns out, I will prolly have to sell the car. I just replaced the half shafts and new tires and then a week later it blew!!! Now I cant work because my job is driving around and seeing clients. So now I am out a car and a job until I buy another car. Any offers?
