  • The Road Back to SIS

    It's been over 2 years, but I might as well tell the story of how things have gone until now:

    Bought the Stratus in 2010 and sold the YJ for 3k. Engine and Trans worked perfectly, but ended up going through 3 wheel hubs, tires, and electrical issues. After the third hub failure, I sold it to a ghetto white kid in town for $1,800. That's a loss of $2,700. To buy my own house, I had to get something cheap.
    Enter the 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Station Wagon. Picked it up for $280 in July. A whole new exhaust was needed, and a very thorough tune-up. But the rust has gone too far. And it's just.....boring. The reverse third-row seat is bad-ass though.

    My wife (Yes, I got married earlier this year) wants to see me back in a Jeep. At work (Where I butcher animals for tasty meat) my boss offered his 98 XJ to me. Ironically, he's getting into a Subaru (Where have I heard this before...). He only wants 1K for it, but after talking yesterday we're working on a deal where I just give him the Olds so his brother has a car and I get the XJ for NOTHING.

    The good about the XJ:
    -No rust
    -New Tires
    -Trans fixed
    -Mechanicals are all in order
    The bad:
    -Radiator is leaking
    -U-joints need to be replaced
    -Muffler is shot
    -Paint is faded and a nice dent in the passenger side door....Like tree-sized
    -Missing a wheel nut....not going to ask why
    -Liftgate doesn't open

    ....So that's where things stand. The deal is just taking longer because he wants to find a good deal on an Outback or an Impreza before we do the swap. I'll take pictures today.

        Hey Chaos, I got a muffler for ya...but its half and half was a muffler that was on one of my jeeps long ago but had been parked...was damn near new when i parked it....problem is we tried to cut the pipe apart to reuse it and it made a mess:



        I know that its got a slit on it, and the one end looks like a $20 brooklyn hookers vag but id bet with the right tools (what we were lacking) it would straighten out and probably work for ya if youre on massive budget mode...its yours if you want it and i can bring it up with me on saturday either leave it with someone there for ya or i can deliver if its not a million miles from Shelton. if not no biggie, figured id ask since im just throwing it away soonly.

                      Well, If you guys didn't figure it out....the deal did not go through.

                      So, it's plan B time. Instead of hoping for a 24 yr old to figure out his dreams of owning a Subaru Legacy, I'm just going to buy something else outright.

                      Next month, I'll have a budget of about $2,500. Hopefully something good will be on the market by then. Til then.....The Olds stays
