I can understand wanting to do the roadtrip, but there's no way in hell its cheaper driving it back.

Well, I take that back. If you hitch or walk there and drive back without renting a hotel room or eating/drinking, then its cheaper.

haha you'll see whats so special about it up close in personal in a couple of weeks... we would have only spent about 300 on gas and maybe 60 on food and 50 on a hotel... we were on a mission non stop driving stoppin man cities to see a few things and then we hit the road again... we figured it would be over a 1000 to get it ship...

Most likely it was not tuned or tuned incorrectly. How much did you get it for?

That's pretty nice of him... Either that or he has a guilty conscience

You keep asking weather its your fault and no, its not your fault at all nor the old owners, its a heavily modded car, stuff like this happens. Its just the game you play when you mod a car or a buy car that has motor work done, chances are it wont break, chances are certain parts should be fine, but theres always that possibility that the part that should be fine has a flaw and breaks for what ever reason, **** happens. Unless the old owner saw the bearings weren't in good shape when they did h/c on the car which was unlikely or they had Xray vision or magical powers, I dont think they would have seen this coming. Thats a low mile motor, shoulda been fine, just doesnt always work that way
