i want to go, but i won't be able to afford it. we're moving in a month and a week, and i barely had $10 to put gas in my car last night. money's really really short this summer.

damn 1 day late

and why only 500 thought they were trying to break a record?

 

[anfrey]

not sure about the 500. i think they want to make sure at least 500 cars will be there. plus, i think pre-registered folk get a free gift bag or something. the record is around 1100 cars or so

 

[hooked_on4]

Damn E. I think you need to do that manual swap somehow. Hope you make it back alright bro.

what happened to him?

everybody here is going to subaru now huh?

rey send it my way

 

[hkt03]

manual swap is the last thing on my mind at the moment.. I'm trying to figure out how to minimize how much I pay.

Looks like I'll go ahead and file the claim, pay the deductible and let the shop do the rest. They just called me with the quote. $1200 for a used (certified with roughly 55k miles on it) transmission and labor. Its $475 for the labor alone, and I doubt I'll find a transmission with that mileage myself and an honest seller at that.

I was heading up to Wisconsin to go kart and mini golf with my family and hit a huge rock on the 94 in the construction area. The state trooper took my info in case I need to file a report with the state. At this point it looks like my insurance will take care of that. Not sure.. I'm trying to calm myself down and sort through all the info in my head.
