    Get ready to do rod bearings (they all need them if they've not been done) and the oil pan secondary drain. Oh an nothing electronic will work after you buy it, just keep that in mind.

    We have a new rule in the how that we can't bid if we've been drinking :anonymous:
    I'm a masochist. Those are maybes and not enough to scare me away and I have a history of owning cars for 1 year and haven't been burned yet. Its only money. The rabbit is crushing my soul to daily.

    Good rule, can't argue with that. I'd had a few when I bought my 1st gen...on eBay, halfway across the country.

    No, the rod bearings are an absolute guarantee. If there is no history of them being done and it has more than 60k, it WILL need them

    I really wish there wasn't a 50 post limit to try and sell something in the Sell/Buy section. I have a cap I bet someone here might want but due to the limit i can't list it.

    Where are you located? The easy way around it is to put up a CL ad and have a member with 50 posts link it...

    I get why it's a pain for an honest person but it helps keep the scammers away. Other sights don't have this limited and are full of people trying to rip people off.

    Oh I know but I would be buying one that has had them dealt with recently. For example there's on right now that had the engine rebuilt in the last 20k miles. It's a non-issue at that point

    It's Sunday.

    Only places open are those catering in bigger bulk orders.

    I should start a GOFUNDME, reach said goal in the next half hour and buy lots of steel only to use 6-10' of it :laughing:

    Stuff. Also things.
    Here’s hoping that you find a way to resolve all of that. The struggle is real, my friend.

    It would be really nice if we could grow the fuck up and get big pharma out of the pockets of our legislators so that maybe we could actually legalize cannabis at a federal level. But I don’t see that happening unless the same cabal of lobbyists gets some sweet monopoly deal to produce everything or some other bullshit like that.

    I have a good friend, ex-mil, got pretty physically fucked up when he served, and all the VA wants to do is throw Oxy at him. Dude was near suicidal because he was so in pain. He finally broke down and tried a strain of cannabis that was advertised for its pain relief properties, and his shit got better IMMEDIATELY. Too bad for him tho, because being employed means either being in pain or being on some highly addictive bullshit pharma product. Pretty great choice, right?

    I’m glad to hear you came to that realization eventually! It’s a tough cycle to break, and I know for sure that I’m still not even close myself. Just have to make that daily progress and keep the right shit prioritized.

    Wow. That’s really tough. Hang in there, and let me know if I can help. Seriously.

    It’s a great way to feel shitty about yourself while slowly working yourself to death, isn’t it?

    I’m super glad to hear this.
