Well... I got some bad news...
The crank actually cracked and caused serious damage to the block and trans... frown
He was looking into getting a 3L, but it caused a huge problem with his fiance and now he is living with a fellow club member in Gobles,MI.
The worst part is that the washing machine is broken and steve's clothes haven't been washed in like 3 weeks. the car is still sitting at the dealership because Steve lost his job. last I heard he was taking home courses to become a private eye... ya know one of those cheesey learn at home programs Sally Strothers pushes. he has lost a lot of ambition and weight, so he has shrunk to normal chinese size.

Well Chris is right in some aspects. smile

Me and Laura patched things up and we are trying to figure out what to do about the car... Hell, i might even sell it as a parts car. I am thinking of just rebuilding the 2.5L and put it back in, sell it and call it done.

As far as the trans goes, well, we'll see what happens, but the car is sitting in my garage leaking like a sift... I hate walking by the SVT every morning to drive my beater to work.

I am no longer living in Gobles and MY CLOTHES DON'T STINK... they have laundrymats you know CHRIS... and NO I'm not trying to become a private eye... Stop trying to make me look like a moron, dickhead. mad

Any ways, I'll check back with ya guys sometime soon, hopefully...

Yeah man, buy a used car. Place over in Portland sells used cop cars. Just picked up a 96 Caprice with the big v8 and cop suspension. Kinda neat seeing a power steering cooler. Cost was 3k.
