It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Back on the road
So took the misses car down today , its a (pos)commodore wagon, it got a little front end wobble,
They took a look at it and its bit more then a wobble , if the fix everything 3 grand. looks like getting another boat will be delayed a few years.

Re: Back on the road
3 grand is a lot for a front end bowl, what exactly did they say is wrong with it?

Re: Back on the road
2nd hand car market is pretty cheap you might be better off just looking at a decent 2nd hand car then spending 3k on as you say a pos car.

Re: Back on the road
I wouldn't bother spending more on a car than what its worth. Just follow adtracs advice.
