Default got a new car

ahhhhhhhhh damnit and its not a ls1. i tried hard as i could told her it was cheaper but she didnt want me to get one and i had no choice but to get a car, cause the lt1 is always having problems and she got tired of me in the yukon. So this will be my daily except on wednesdays. This is how it goes i didnt want to buy the car but i get a low payment i told her im not (i aint) payin over 250, car payment is 350 she says she will pay the difference. so i save gas and save for a ls1 at the same time.

ill get a ls1 soon i hope


btw she didnt want me to have a trans am cause its not what she wants me to buy since she is the cosigner its her way but once i get bread saved for the ls1 the impala is gone

you even said yourself you gotta save money

a beater car is exactly what it is a beater car. lol my beater car is an acura cl vtec some **** the body is beat to hell, and has 200k miles on it. but it gets 24mpg in town. so who cares lol.

and what people tell you about v tec is true, that son of a bitch is worse then turbo lag..


good engine though, i pulled the dip stick the other night on the oil and it didnt even have a full quart!!! there was a drop of oil on the dip stick and the son of a bitch was still running! i have no clue how it was .

also checked the coolant, and it was also almost out durable cars knock on wood.

There's nowhere to put 4x6s in an '05 Impala....unless you cut.
