K so I left my car in red deer last night because I had way too much to drink to even consider driving... I go pick it up today and start it up and the alternator belt is just screaming and then a wire under my dash flash fries (don't know which one yet) so great I had to get it home regardless, the burning stopped I start driving. Now the car feels extra gutless and shaky as hell I pull over and my right front tire just popped off the rim.... so I get that fixed now I notice my ball joints are falling out.... I put the jack through my rocker panel and to top it all off on the way home my brakes fail....... SO I am not sure what I am going to do... I have no facilities nor tools out here and if I take it to a shop I am definetly looking at 2 - 3000 for a bill. So what do I do... It's brake up right now so I don't have a ton of money and I wont for a couple more weeks. I could go buy a new truck and hope I have steady work through the summer.... I don't know what to do guys... I am in a pickle for sure.

Honestly i am thinking about buying an 04 cavalier untill I need a truck then trading it in on the truck... I heard they are giving the little $hit boxes away so it may not be a bad idea...
 
You seem to have lemons follow you everywhere you go. You were on such a good run.
The cav idea doesn't sound too bad, But it would be hard and even kinda funny looking at you, the beast master in a Cav. There is not much you can do i supose. I suport you in anyway i can dude. If nothing comes around i can help you out when i move at the end of the month. If need be i can bring stuff to you if you haven't worked that out already.

Really sorry to hear that dude.

Do what you gotta do to get things going good for you again....even if that means selling your mustang and driving a cavalier :shrug:
 
I just need something cheap that I don't need to worry about untill I need a truck for work... Then I don't care I'll get whatever for a toy... What's a good cheap car that has waranty??? Sub 15000 is a must for the time being. (I don't want to loose too much on a beater I am only going to have for a couple months).

I always said it would be a cold day in hell that i'd give up the stang for a cavy but it's getting there :mad:

hey kev, when youre in town, if you are still thinking of getting a car, go to capital and talk to my buddy doug frankiewits, i grew up with him, and hed set you up with a good deal.. my parents have been looking at brand new 04 cav's for like 9 grand, might work as a beater to get you around in, the price is right for a new car anyways...


plus if anyone drops my name when they buy a car, he gives me 50 bucks :D for sending him paying customers :D
