I was headin home from work yesterday and my poor daily driver decided to give out on me.... pretty sure i blew a headgasket but i could be wrong...
anyways i babied her alll the way home (45min drive)
(took me about 5 mins to get it up to 80km/hr)
but i made it home.
It's a 94 buick LeSabre Limited. it's nicknamed the Kiss Of Death because of a crash i had with it that was SOOO close to a rollover. The bumper was totalled so the stock tan bumper was replaced with a Purplish red one.
"Kiss Of Death" just seemed to be an apt name. it fit well, know what i mean?

So now i'm driving my Dads truck for a few days till i find out how much the damage is going to be on my bank account. but despite how ugly and old person-ish that car is, I sure would miss it if it died on me.

i know how u feel bro, ive been there, i had a 93 mercury topaz, 2 door 5spd v6, that thing was the best i fed that thing th biggest beatings for 2 years and it would just take it, i took it to the race track and raced it it was funny seeing peoples face when the get beat by a topaz,but it started to take its toll, it kept eating distributors every 3 months, so i kept replacing them,then one day i was on the highway with my friend beside me, i down shifted into third to blow past him and bang! it was knocking and clanking, i rolled off the highway and when i came to a stop it never moved again, i blew up the tranny to the point parts were bouncing around inside, so i stipped the rims and lip kit and other stuff i put on it and scrapped it now i got a 95 4runner, and its killer but i still sometimes wish i had the topaz, but oh well

well... so far my mechanic has deduced that the fuel pressure is WAY down. so the fuel pump is being replaced.... and i had JUST filled the tank to. lol
we'll see if that fixes the problem...

DAMNIT parts are expensive!
a brand new fuel pump and lines and everything is like $472! i got one from a wrecker of a southern car for like 170, though so now it'll just be the price of labour that kills me. (good thing my Uncle is my mechanic or i'd never be able to get my car back)
