Well guys, I'm a father(I know scary right.) Any way. I am sadly seeing a need to kick the idea of selling my baby for my baby. Not sure what its worth(4,000 on the new engine.). Any help, or word of mouth'd help. If I can find a cheap car or truck I can keep it but... Ugh. Pics will be sent out when he comes home. NEED A MEET!

xtreme velocity

Well congrats! and no congrats. Glad your steppin up to the plate most guys wouldnt do. Sad to hear the car has to go. If my funds where in the good right now I would consider takin it off your hands. But I have a ways to go before I can buy anything else. Good luck with everything and I will keep my eyes and ears open of anyone lookin for a bad *** car.

righteous_gt

Thanks man, and I plan on a few more runs in her. And I don't care what I have/get, always gonna roll with you guys.
If you want I'll keep you in mind, and thanks again man.

all you gotta do is a quick search. Go through auto trader, or cars.com, or just search forums for another car:

They aren't things of beauty but they will get you around. Its just for a daily beater right? Heres 10 or so listings.

If your willing to search dallas or OK City then you have even more options:

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national <-- I think thats not bad an 01 Mazda 626 with 150K on it. Someone took good care of this car.

Thanks doc, but I need a decent newer car, and honestly don't have the funds. Hence contemplating selling my 8. Children put stuff in perspective.

Ok. I need to get together with the people rolling out to Dallas with me for the Texas8. so that we can fine tune our schedule. Just let me know when is good for you.

I am game dude! Why dont we try for next weekend? Not this weekend but the next. That way its the weekend before the meet so that way people have all their things together as to when they are leaving and all and we can discuss. Plus, I hope to have my car back by then from having the engine replaced for the 2nd time in a month lol

renesisjim

iTrader: (3)

Damn Highspeed that's crazy 2 in a month. Hope all goes well. What happened? Next Sunday works for me. I have to close sat. Would like to leave no later than 2 for Dallas. We have to go way out by the speedway.

I have to see when my wife is going to be able to get off work that day. She works at St Johns Hospital and she is trying to see how early she can get off. I will be off at 11. You and I are staying at the same house in Dallas that night so if we can roll down together that would be ideal.

Hell yeah dude tell me about it!!! 2 in a month...but I still love my 8! I think they said the replacement engine had the synchro gear go out? Not sure if that is what they called it. I am REALLY hoping its done at the end of this next week.

I'm up for next Sunday aswell. We need to hit up Spavinaw or whatever that place is called so I don't kill myself in Texas with the extra power O.o

Man I hope I have my car for this weekend. As of Friday, they claim they cannot find a replacement engine at this time for my car. I have been pretty calm since I just bought the car in November and I am already going into my 3rd engine. I told them I HAVE to have it back on the 30th since I leave the 31st for the Texas8. I am to the point where I think they should have to replace with a new engine since I have went through the first one in 2 months, the second one they put in last 3 weeks and now I am waiting on the third

Bob Moore in Edmond gave me a new engine. I didn't get a reman. Which shows they can put a new one in it. Did they at least give you something to drive.

Hey everyone!! I just spent the last few days of my spring break in Eureka Springs, it was just what I needed. Zipping around those smooth, curvy, mountain roads was awesome. Jim, a trip out there is a must!!

renesisjim

iTrader: (3)

I have been scouting roads for an ozark's run. I've been looking into a weekend trip, unless you guys are up for a 10hr roadtrip. There is a road called the arkansas pig trail. I still want to check out first.

You could always come to kerrville with us on the 31st

Highspeed

iTrader: (2)

Man they gave me a gay *** PT Cruiser I think the dealership is trying to save money so they are getting me a reman, which I hate! But since the place they bought it from has to warranty the engine they sold us 3 weeks ago that blew, they are having that same guy find another. All I know is this....they have 7 business days to get it into their shop, into my car and back into my hands. Dude...if they dont have it back to me by the 30th....wait let me rephrase that...they WILL have my car back to me fixed or I wont be able to go to kerrville cause I will be pending trial for assault and battery lol

renesisjim

iTrader: (3)

The only reason I got a new one was because the remans were backordered for like 3 weeks. I hope it all works out for you. At least your saving money on gas with the PT Loser.

But if we can get a lunch meet together sometime, we could all fill ya in a lil. Are you from Tulsa area??
