yeah I remeber that... I was told (by our mutual aquaintance ) that she more or less got herself financed, to realize that her monthly expenses were too high...
that's gotta suck;
I nearly found myself in a similar situation back in 2002;
I actually wanted to buy a Firebird Formula, then when GM announced the F-bodies were being cancelled, I looked long and hard at my finances, but just could not justify it - that would have been putting myself into a bad spot...
I'm glad i didn't do it... but still bummed that they're no longer made.

@ Soundjunky - The person that post wad directed to should know who they are. I will not name any names, and I will leave the drama alone. I just wanted the birdie to know that I know what it's chirping, and they should just stay out of it.

It's going to be a busy weekend for me. Well at least for my car... Get off work at 5. Hit Calgary and race city ASAP. Head to lethbridge afterwards. Meet some realtors Saturday. Then drive back up Calgary for the night. Then the cruise then back to sylvan. My car is going to hit the 100km mark in no time.

good news: got my car back
better news: my flywheel was apparently the most fubar'd the tech has ever seen, it's like night and day difference. Probably a bit of placebo effect because the car has a lot less vibration now, but it feels like it was robbing me of 10-15 hp
In typical Murray fashion: threw a CEL as I was 30 seconds from the dealer. So it goes back tomorrow...

Hopefully... it's sooo much smoother now. My clutch is really spongy and picks up right off the floor now; I stalled TWICE leaving the dealer cause it used to catch right at the top almost and I wasn't expecting it to be any different.

i don't understand why we're all still bitching about gas prices. yes they are expensive. not much we can do as it would take a combined effort across canada to help drive prices down (thats not gonna happen) and your gonna fill up your car regardless. so next time you fill up, bring some lube so when they are raping you in the ass it doesn't hurt so much.

i know there is alot of details behind the scenes trust me, but the simple view of it makes me laugh
