Default sad week for me

going to part way with my toy. i have an offer of 7 stacks today for my jeep cherokee xj. i invested lot of money in it. im really tempting to take his offer. told the buyer if he can come up with little more money and we will have a deal. tomorrow he'll get back to me with what he got. i hate selling it, but need the money to finish up the trans am. it need to be out on the road instead of hiberating in the garage.

Hi `Ryan,
"We all have 2 `do, what we all have 2 `do `if it is really what you want 2 `do or have 2 `do to complete your other super toy" > I like your toys. (I wish I could play with either of them)

I hope whatever you `do that it is the best 4 U, but only U know that >
Good Luck & keep us updated on "What U `do ? "

Well both are alot of fun in their own ways. I also have had to sacrifice to do things to my Monte. I still miss seeing the Silver Bullet....

My vote is sell the jeep and finish the trans am! But I'm a car guy and dont care for mudding. I know people that love mudding as much as I do cars though so I understand why its hard for you.

I'd like to see you concentrate on the Trans Am.

that's what i thought too when i first went off roading. i thought off roading is just driving through mud holes, but it's not. you go through trails, climb slippery hill, cross creek, and other terrains. it's really fun! it test your driving skills.

yup talk to the buyer he wants to do the transaction friday. man i really hate to down grade my ride going from driving a lifted jeep to a beater again lol until my t/a is complete. im going to need a car after the jeep is sold. been wanting a 5th gen monte but it's so hard to find a decent one here. more likey im going to get a civic or accord again if i cant find a 5th gen mc. lol.

sold the jeep saturday morning. was pretty sad to see it go. now im even more sadder cuz i don't have a car only a bicycle at this moment. email this guy from craigslist for a 1988 buick lasabre T-Type. looks decent shape and the price is right up my alley. hope i hear something back tomorrow.

new owner was very happy with his new ride.

open a saving account and put this in the bank right away before spend on stupid stuff.



was a hard decison to pick a dd. the t type was too far away plus need some work. i was thinking of the civic and accord but need trunk room. end up with a 92 cherokee laredo for $1k. the body is rough with lots of rust, but i can fix that with jy parts. motor and trans are solid. no leaks or lifter ticks. interior is all good. only 100k miles on the clock, that's pretty low for a 21 y.o. cherokee older lady own it and kept up with maintenace. here's my new rusty DD.
