Its been awhile since ive been on but alot has happened in my life over the last 2 months. Started off buying another Mustang, not sure if i posted it on here but its a 1993 Notch 4 banger, 60,000 orignal miles and was owned by a 70 yr old couple for all but 1 year of its life. She pulls a solid 30mpg!!
Just a few days after that my wife told be im going to be a daddy for the first time, its been almost 5 years of trying!! It makes finishing up my Automotive repair degree a little bit tricky but hell if i can pull off a 4.0 for 3 semesters i can handle school and a baby. Only 2 semesters left and 3 ASE tests to pass and ill get my auto degree and be a Master tech (after a year in a shop).
Sadly i had to sell the Mark 8, Spending 60+ a week on gas is getting out of hand. I tryed to talk my wife into keeping it but 500.00 a year for storage fees was the killer (i can only have 2 cars at my apartment per my lease). So i sold her. I didnt do bad either, i managed to get 1100.00 out of it.
I figured up the math on what the car really cost me not including oil, filters, tires or brake pads since thats just normal wear. I bought it almost 9 years ago for 1900.00.
Bought for 1900.00
Spent 500.00 on the coil conversion
Sold the non-working air ride for 300.00
another 200 for rear calipers
Total cost so far is 2300.00
Was totaled and recived a check for 2200.00
Bought the car back for 180.00
Total amount invested is now 280.00
Headlight header panel 100.00
Hood pins 10.00
Transmission rebuilt 1100.00
Front suspention parts 300.00
Headlights rechromed 100.00
HIDs 60.00
New total after buying it back 1950.00
Sold the car for 1100.00
Total cost for driving this car for 9 years 850.00
Less than 100.00 a year for repairs is pretty damn good. Its the best car i ever owned and was sad handing the keys over to the new owner.
Its been fun here and is sad to say goodbye, ive meet a couple of members on here, Nolimit was the one to really stand out since i meet him right after his garage and car burned up, hes a good guy and i wish the best to him and most everybody on here. Good bye LVC, its been a hell of a time on here, i may stop by from time to time to see whos still here and see IF Stacks car will EVER be done!!!!
