Default 99 Gam worries

Well i thought the wife blew the headgasket on my 99 grand am quad4 2.4. So i had saved 1k
back from income tax to fix. Took the vehicle to midas to get an estimate. Great news!! She didnt blow the headgasket after all
Im happy about that. The problem is the water inlet housing is cracked. So they are going to charge me $221.00 to replace the housing and flush the coolant system. Little high priced since the part is only $15.00, but what the hell its got a warranty. So it will be fixed and on the road today before 5pm.
That leaves me right around $600.00 left, Talon investments \:d/My day just got
a hell of alot better.

i think you have a serious case of rice-o-licious going on


selling the car to an online friend for a really rediculusly low price is in order....and since your my friend i'll pay $22.50 for it since you prolly race grandparents and civics with that car..
