A transmission change, Clutch replacement, alternator replacement, and 2800$ invested has put me back in the drivers seat of my 95 SE V6. I can't explain how good it feels to drive it!! I had a bunch of people's jaws drop when I told them how much I've spent on the car since 2002. They ask why I haven't bought a new car. I'm sure all fo you can answer that question for me right?

Car Price - 2000$
'99 replacement motor (installed) - 2500$
New A/C compressor (installed) ~900$
Accident with the curb - 1200$
New alternator (1st time) - 360
Last visit to the shop - 2800$
Grand total of investment in Car - ~9760$
Being able to drive my baby - Priceless.

--------------

The new tranny came from a 97 and (supposedly) has 22K on it. The clutch is a Centerforce kit, brand new. The damn car shifts like buttttter!

Just thought I'd post my random happiness with you all.

Btw, 10,000 dollars is a lot of money for me. Ive had the car for 2 years, and I'm only 18!

I've always wondered what 3 pounds of nugs looked like.
