What did you do to your Car today?

**Scottydoggs** · 02-06-2012

well my pick was kinda a bust. mostly junk, and truck tires and steel wheels. old blocks and heads, intakes.

the only good thing i found was 4 almost new Uniroyal tiger paw tires on alum wheels. the wheels dont fit my car but they are ugly so i dont care, the good part is i paid 50 for the set, and the rims are worth 80 at the scrap yard, win win if you ask me, i made 30 bucks in the long run.

ill save these tires for the new rims i get later, and then scrap my old wheels for another 80 bucks to put towards the new wheels.

im lovin the scrap man!

I drove it to school, filled her up with gas, cost $48 bucks for 13ish gallons, pissed me off.

Then I took it to pressure wash it and this the result. I'm not happy with it i'm gonna hand wash it tomorrow hopefully. I really want my zaino kit to perfect the paint, or have someone detail it.

The pic is horrible as well, iPhone bad angle and horrible light. but you get the point.

Brandon...I spent $48 in gas tonight on 12.492 gallons of regular unleaded.
Consider yourself lucky for getting super duper gas for the same price as I did for regular.

I know!!!
I went to school in Lima and always made sure I filled up on Fridays before I came home because it was always a good 20 cents cheaper at least.

Ordered up a ZZP Head pipe and cat to replace the stock plugged unit. hope to start on the body work when the weather warms up.

Yep
I attended the business side.
Got my assoc in Agriculture Business Management and went back for my bachelors in Business Admin.
A lot of my guy friends from high school went to the auto side.

Just far enough away, but still close enough to home.
I got to where I could make it home in about 50 minutes if I tried.

I went there right out of hs but dropped out to stay home and take care of my son. I'm thinking about going back though.

Gave her a wash after work considering it was 8 degrees celsius which is very warm and unusal for this time of year. But im not complaining lol.

Idk what you'd go for, but a lot of the business classes are online.
I was able to stay home and do all of the last half of my bachelors online, which made it super nice.

But your probably not to far from there are you?

**dsmuts** · 02-06-2012

I'm about 45 min. I want to go to be a mechanic. I can already work on cars I'm just not certified.

**danielle15** · 02-06-2012

*in my dreams*

I'm gonna sell my car.....

and buy this:
2005 Grand Prix GXP

**JDrach** · 02-06-2012

Went into work on my day off around 5ish. Washed my car and wheels. Claybared my car. Waxed it. Armor al'd the tires. Wiped down my seats,doors, and dash with speed way. Vaccumed also. Car is looking spiffy as heck for a 98. Thank god the original owner maintained it somewhat well. To bad under the hood and radio wiring sucks.

Super clean lifter valley:

Head looks like one of the older castings... not good.

Exhaust seat:

Both seats:

It is purdy isn't it?
I got my gp to get out of a 10k (started out as a 18k) loan that was killing me. I don't need another one.
Seriously tho, if I was to get an 04+, I would only get a gxp...something about the front end I like better than the regular. Idk, I'm picky like that.
