Today I woke up and felt like crap.So I drag myself to work.And get my crummy paycheck.I get off work and traffic is horrible.So I get home and get take my new razr mx's to be mounted on wheels.So I get back and my mom comes home.She says she wants me to look at this car.
So we drive and give it a look.It is a 93 grand am gt.Has a 3300 v6 with an auto tranny.The guy wants 1100 for it.The body is mint except the hood.(which I have a mint hood.)The thing is the trans is slipping really bad.So I called a transmission place and they tell me 800 bucks for a new trans.Well that means for 1900 I can have a mint car.Then I get to looking and see the ground effects have a small crack.I also checked the oil and anitifreeze both appeared to be fine.So I got him down to 900.he says alright he will take it.So we drive to the bank to get the money.
The whole time I had something say don't buy it.
So we go back and get the car.I get about 5 minutes from my house and I watch the temp gauge skyrocket and the oil pressure drop!I shut the car off.The oil pressure never went to 0 but it dropped from what it had been at.
So I go home and get my car trailer and trailer it home.I popped and cap off where the anitfreeze goes and it is bone dry.l check the oil.It was in the exact same spot.So I let the car cool and off and fill it with water.I start it again.Only to hear a rod knock and water coming out the exhaust.
I could have rebuilt my R bottom end with the money.Instead I bought another POS!I swear I am cursed!
