Yea, I am leaning that way. I haven't made up my mind for certain, but I am leaning towards getting rid of it. Think I am going to start looking at my options on Monday.

Call a good mechanic, and help him find a transmission from a junk yard for him to install.

I did that and got everything done for $600. And this was a Z71 Tahoe.

Pull a Part.

I'm gonna run my 90 Corolla into the ground and then slap a new motor in it.

If I don't trade it for a 4x4 in a couple years.

I really could give 2 shits about the car I drive. There are much much better things to spend money on, like real estate or home improvements.

Never understood why anyone would want to invest so much money into a product that loses as much value as a vehicle does.

Then why do people drive festivas.

If I needed a work truck, I'd have a damn fine work truck.

But for getting me back and forth? As long as it runs smooth, I'm happy.

That's cool. You just asked, and I was answering.

Personally I have to have a large SUV, and it has to be in good working order, and in very good condition to perform my job.

I wish that I could have a smaller car thats good on gas...but thats not in the dice.

Actually, its under warranty and the dealer is replacing it free of charge. Point is that I am doubting the overall quality of the car since I am replacing the transmission at 65,000 miles.

I had a 1981 Toyota pickup. Easiest thing I ever had to work on. The only problem I had that it ran best on Copper core spark plugs. (typical iron core plugs made it ran terrible.) Once a year I had to replace all the copper core plugs because it would eat the electrodes. Then Bosch came out their Platinum plugs and I never replaced a plug again. I drove it 4 years in Minnesota, and the tail gate rusted out. When I moved down here, I bought a new one through JC Whitney and had a friend paint it to match the red of my truck. Drove it a total of 10 years and 122,000+ miles. Other than the fact it didn't have AC, I'm sorry I sold it.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
