i found the oil leak in my 93, its the oil filter adapter gasket. so i ordered one tonight and pick it up tomorrow, at the same time i am gonna change the oil since i have to pull the filter off anyway, but i am pissed that i am gonna lose most of my 2 month old coolant. i'm not gonna try to save it, its not worth it. i think i am gonna pour in straight water and rust enhancer into the :q:q:q:qing turd!!! this weekend is gonna blow, fix my 93, fix a customers 94, and start tearing apart the 97 in my shop, yeah i have a personal life, NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT
 
Girls are allowed to change their minds at random. :D

I wonder when he and Sapperfire meet if they will have a contest to see who can hold their pinky out the longest.














































:D
 
its called getting by until i can get some money, my wife is without a car, my daughter goes back to school in a few weeks and we are piss broke, i'm not a high roller like some of you, i want to burn the car in front of my shop, i dont want to do a god dam thing to it but i have no choice but to work on it and get pissed off and hate the pile of :q:q:q:q even more in the end. if i had money falling out of my ass i would have bought 6 marks to replace it already.

I wish I had a shop of my own. And could be there most of the time.

1. Good stress relief to fix things. [for me maybe not you] I like tearing shat apart.

2. The wife would be so turned on seeing me all workin' on things.............. Well I'll stop there


Point is alot of us would trade what we have for your everyday pains.

Keep on keepin on man and don't ever give up. One day all that lincoln :q:q:q:q you got will be worth something to all us dumbarses.

The glass is half full dude. That is all the wisdom and advise I have.

No high rollers here, we all drive Mark VIII's:D

I knew from your other thread that you weren't going to do anything but fix it, but that's OK because everyone vents from time to time on here.
 
having a place to work on crap is not as great as you may think. i would love to be with my kids and wife on the weekends but if i do that, we'll starve that week, if you think i'm joking or making it worse than it is, i make 400 bucks a week at work, i pay 190 a month for both car's insurance, $2,200 dollars a month for the rent and utilities, and try to buy food on top of that, so at the end of the month i have to come up with almost 800 bucks any way i can, this life style i live is not fun, i dont like working on cars all weekend, i dont like stripping marks all weekend, i would love to go sit on a seawall and take my kids fishing, or go play mini golf, or do something, but i cant, if i do, we are screwed, this :q:q:q:q is just old thats all, so when it comes to having to spend even more money to fix a car i totally hate and i know something else will go wrong, how can i be happy to repair a 6 dollar gasket! understand i have been doing this none stop for 11 years , just ask the people on here who do know me personally i cant stop moving, i work and work and work, i dont eat, i smoke like a madman, i live on soda and beer, i cant stop working or i go insane, it has totally taken over my life i cannot enjoy anything anymore, i have to stay busy and do whatever i can to make money and i am tired, i am so tired, i am 33 years old i shouldnt feel this way at all, i cant keep going on like this or i'm gonna drop dead. i am only fixing it because i have to give my wife a car, period, if i had money right now i would never think about fixing this car this is one mark VIII i really truely hate, and i havent been able to say i hate any mark VIII, i hate this car like i hate late night feed the hungry infomercials.
 
For sh!ts and giggles you should see if you could line up a job in Massachusetts that pays at least double what you are making now. If you could do that it might change your wife's mind. At least it might keep you from going crazy.
 
i cant change anyones mind as long as her father is alive, she wont leave him, and he'll never go back to mass. i could have a job with my buddy right now, or i could get my old welding job back in 2 seconds, that doesnt help me when i am stuck here in florida though.

Like I said, sometimes concrete offers can change minds. It changed my wife's mind about staying in Virginia. Hell, in Virginia as a welder you could make really good money. Dude, you are going to have to make a call for yourself sooner or later, something that is good for you. You are either going to burn completely out, have a heart attack or stroke or start resenting your wife (which I don't think you want). Thing is you remind me of me 4 years ago at the same age busting my ass and running in circles. I did the same as you, sacrificing for everyone else while feeling miserable most of the time. It really is not worth it.
 
keep doing what you do brandon you'll be right here with me, seriously man, all these years of doing things for everyone else and now i hate everyone and get nothing in return for all those years!
 
Damn jamie, I thought the subject text was gonna read that you were selling your 97, after I read the title. I'm sorry lifes sucking right now and I guess nothing I can say will fix it, but just keep doing things the best you can, somethings gotta give.
 
If it makes you feel better my nice mark broke down
So I drive my 93 to work Guy offers to buy it so I say cool
Go out to give him the car and it wont start and my town
Car is locked up at the wife's parents and they left town
And I haven't had any time with my son or wife I have to work
As many hours as I can so I can put food on the table so I
Know how you feel
 
Sounds exactly like me, only i don't make enough money to drink beer

I work part time...as a full time mechanic, thanks to Obama-care my company cut all techs hours to 38 max..
I bring home about $360-400 every TWO weeks..my wife works at tacobell for minimum wage about 30 hours a week, our rent on our APartment is $575 a month with NO garage, if I get lucky enough to get a side job, it's in the parking lot in the sun
our lights usally run about 120-150 a month, then car expenses, keeping gas in the thing is a trick
I'm an underwater certified welder, I have a BA in civil engineering, did a 5 year tour in the Army, which included 2 combat tours, I've been shot, had shrapnel in both my legs, and came home from that to find my wife in bed with a Fukking cop
I've looked and looked for a better job, thanks to border patrol, all highway jobs and welding goes to the damn illegals
if I had 20 years experience I could get a subervisor position, but I'm not fluent in Spanish!
I never get to spend time with my wife or kids, it's always work work work, I have to just to keep food on the table, it's just the way it is sometimes

I can barely afford to keep the car running, it's unsafe to drive at night because I can barely see, I'd refinish my lights myself, but my dremel broke and I can't afford to fix the damn thing..

If anyone on here understands your ranting..I'm it
and maybe Bill, who doesn't have a job at all
 
:q:q:q:q I feel him I dont have a job myself!!! It's hustle, hustle, hustle!!! Do what I can to get what I can get and it usually is alot more doing than getting!!! Huntsville Alabama is'nt exactly a good place to get a job unless you're a "rocket scientist", literally!!!

Time to move out of Texas. Norfolk or Baltimore could probably use someone like you. Oh, and I hope it is a different wife because I would have killed the first one.
And most of us have been there. You could probably write a depression era soap opera based on the characters in this forum.
 
Yeah it's a different wife, the cheating one got my oldest daughter, married the cop..I pay child support, the cop divorced her and threw her out, now she's remarried another army guy ad has moved my oldest daughter to Germany, where I still pay child support and haven't seen her in almost 2 years

she taught my daughter that I'm to be called Jeremy..the guy she's married to must be called "daddy", because she says so

don't worry bout her, revenge is a dish best served cold
What do ya think I'm gonna do about it--Pinky, the same thing I try to do everyday!
not sure where Norfork is without some google, what's up there?

Yeah, that's rough. My daughter lives with her mother as well. We were engaged to be married and she cheated on me with someone else. They got engaged but he died in a work accident and she got pregnant two months later by his best friend. Luckily I found my wife and we have been together for 13 years. My daughter is 15 now and smart enough to see her mother for what she is. I had her for 3 years, but her grandmother was dying from ovarian cancer so she went back, but that turned out to be another level of hell they put her through that they should not have. Norfolk, the naval base and ship yards are there. Underwater welders are a commodity that are not easy to come by, and veterans get preference in this state since most of the jobs are government jobs. There are a lot of jobs around the D.C. area, and again veterans get the preference. If you ever do come up to look, let me know as I have an extra bedroom.
 
Damn! I make pretty decent money up here in the northeast with Amtrak and I still don't know where half my money goes (besides the $800+ a week in federal taxes) which is bullsh*t! To those of you who have skills, Amtrak is looking for trackworkers,carpenters,welders etc, etc, up here on the northeast corridor. Their website is www.amtrak.com,scroll down to the bottom of the page and click careers (very small on bottom of page) and there is also jobs all over the country sometimes also. I think they may be doing some high speed projects down there in florida jamie. The bottom line is, everyone is roughing it these days trying to pay their bills and at least supporting their hobbies (cars) but hopefully sh*t will get better. For now, you just gotta keep on truck'n:D
