I'm Baaaack! Not that I was ever really "here" in the first place....
So, its been a long hard winter. Tax season is over, so my duty of overworked office manager with too much to do has given over to my duty of bored office worker with too little to do.
My apoplogies to the gentleman who wanted to buy my roof handles from my convertible. The car is still in my driveway, but like I said its been a long hard winter. Anyone ever had that thing happen where your boy/girl friend of 7+ years has a personality/midlife crisis and leaves you with no explanation or communication? Well I'm three months into that now.
I have been left with a used volkswagen potpourri and not enough mechanical smarts to deal with any of it by myself. Converting a gas to diesel maybe wasn't a crazy thought when I had Mr. Goodwrench living with me, but it makes no sense now. The garages around here say no way.
The truck needs bump stop, one cv boot is ripped, shocks front and rear, brake work front and rear, exhaust work -- at exhaust manifold and mid pipe... Plus ;') passenger front strut tower will bust out with out welding, and oh yeah, floorboard in the cab is rusted. Non of it really any big deal except that [u]I don't really want</u> a gas engine vehicle, so after the cost of [u]paying</u> someone to do the repair I won't even have what I really want. I love to drive, can do some mechanics, not confident or excited about the thought of replacing all that by myself.
Does any of this womanly soap opera make anyone want to buy a caddy? Or trade a diesel for it? I have pictures posted in here some where from those 5 or so months ago. I can post more if any one is interested. I will throw some other parts and/or cars into the deal too! ;) I did see two diesel caddys today... Maybe one of you diesel guys will buy them because I'm going to post the link, but I'm really bad at being self interested. I think everything will work out anyway. They were somewhere in the bargainnews.com in connecticut. I can't get back to the exact page at the moment.
Anyway......
