Got my offer to rid myself of the VW, and am going to take it. Now to find the replacement, as the one I lined up to look at tomorrow sold. I found a back up, that’s an incredibly good deal, but it is black. I really want yellow or blue. I’ve got 1.5 weeks to find one...

Scout for your time.

How does a buyback work? Did you lose money or do they just refund you?

Hey Scout, seems like ages since I last saw you.

Wonderfully happy for you finding Scout so soon after the passing of your other puppy.

I think an LS430 is calling my name with my wrx constantly being down. Wife is getting pissed. They’re a good price and run forever with just basic maintenance.

Yep, no real updates other than she’s become a chunker. I might do a little update post on her on Wednesda y, since that marks one year with her.

She’s been fantastic!

They pay off the car + reimburse what I’ve paid - miles.

Good to see Scout is doing well.

One year already.

Time has flown by.

Yep, the older I get, the quicker it goes.

Yep, all is well in the world according to Scout. The only really bad habit she has, is that she absolutely hates my neighbor. She hasn’t tried to attack or anything, but she barks at him until she can’t see him. She loves everyone except him. She knows he’s letting two ‘70 Mach 1's rot away.

That bastard.

The one in the best shape is kept in a building being held up by tarp.

Wait it’s only been a year?

Svend > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

That’s so very true.

The tarp is holding the building together lol?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Your boy, BJR
03/15/2019 at 21:23

Yep.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Captain of the Enterprise
03/15/2019 at 21:38

Not literally, but almost literally. Somehow a car hit the building, and it’s barely standing.

Probably best to get it out before it falls on it in my opinion. Have you ever explained what went wrong with your GTI? I think I missed what happened somehow.

so back to a fiesta right?

after working on a early 2000s Jetta a few weeks ago i am once again reminded why i will never own a german car

‘Twas fun while it lasted. Ultimately, that dealer was far worse than the car.

03/15/2019 at 22:06

Yeah, honestly the original issue was just a factory casting error. Annoying, but it happens. At a competent dealer, I would have been back in it in early January.

I actually drove a buddy’s FiST the other day, and honestly I don’t want another one. It was fun, but it’s time for a Z06.

But he won’t. He’ll “get around to it.” And one second.

Wholly unfair. Basically my ultimate nightmare if I ever bought a new car. I guess it’s tape decks or bust for me....

Was Scout a rescue? Is this you first pit?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > DipodomysDeserti
03/15/2019 at 23:31

Sort of and sort of. She was dumped at my Mom’s coworkers house. I had just lost my dog, so I took it as a sign.

But we had a pit mix a little while ago.

well that is a good choice. LS engines are nice. too bad they all sound the same

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time
03/15/2019 at 23:51

They do. It will be a familiar sound going from my work truck to a Vette. The extra 110hp will help, along with the ton disappearing.

My opinion on the LS is still the same. Great engine, not very interesting.

Damn, sorry to hear but I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next

Don’t buy a black car

I don’t want to, but if it sits around, it has potential to be a really good deal.
