just thought I'd share some frustration some of you could relate too.

I just put that engine in the Bronco... she's our only rig now since they repo'd the ol' ladies Jeep.
I just landed a killer job... but the pay is salaried, and paid twice a month.
No money in my gubby little hands... yet.

Problem = Bronco's already got 670+ miles on her and I can't afford to give her a damn oil change!!! :banghead :cry :banghead

So I'm still nursing her around... wife has strict instruction not to get on it, unless it's an emergency (aviod getting hit, etc.)

I'm dying to get that first oil change and take my baby out to the ORV park and see what she can do now... but I can't, at least not for a little while longer.

Anyway... the end of the tunnel is coming up fast, just not fast enough.
Thought some of you might be able to relate to how I'm feeling.
That's all. :brownbag

You'll get there Pepe', hang in just a little longer...I was in the same position when I closed my business, it sucks, but you're on the right track.. :thumbup :thumbup

Save your nickels and dimes bro......it'll work out!

Thanks.Are you paying for shipping :toothless

Pepe, go to your nearest town that nobody knows you, and tell them u are new to the town and that u heard they give one free oil change to new comers. When i moved to this town back in october, tire plaza sent me a free oil change coupon. :D Maybe itll work for you, or you could take all of these ppls oil, lol. Except for the yankee, i dunno if id trust a yankee wearin cop sunglasses and wearing a big fat diaper, lol

j/k stang

i dunno if id trust a yankee wearin cop sunglasses and wearing a big fat diaper

so you're saying you would trust a redneck wearing cop sunglasses and wearing a big fat diaper??

i've got 7 quarts of mobil 1 sort of lying around doing nothing.

Send me the Mobil 1 and I'll send Pepe some Walmart 10w40 :goodfinge

ROFLMAO i got tons of walmart oil!

I feel your pain Pepe, believe me.

I bought my Bronco while I lived at my old apartment complex because if I didn't I'd miss out on the purchase. So once got the Bronco to the complex I found out they wouldn't let me work on it there, nor store it there because it wasn't registerd. So I had it towed to a friends shop until I bought my house.

I now have my house...and a garage to work on Da Tank, but now I can't get the Bronco home. I have access to a car dolley but no access to a truck to tow it. Nor do I have the money to put it on a flatbed. So its just sitting at my friends shop collecting dust and snow about 6 miles from my house and empty garage.

:banghead

playing the waiting game sucks. it seems the more daydreaming you do about all you want to do the more frustrated you get. just hang on and check your pm

its good to see everyone getting involved and helping a member out :rockon

so you're saying you would trust a redneck wearing cop sunglasses and wearing a big fat diaper??


Hmmmmm, im gonna have to say no on this one, lol. I dont think i could trust any cop anywhere wearing a big fat diaper, lol :toothless

Hey guys... as much as I appreciate the offers I was just venting a lil'.
Way cool of you all but really... things will be fine soon enough.
I passed 700 today... I should be on it in a few more days.
Thanks again... ya'll are too cool to be real! :wacko :rockon :wacko

Hey Pepe, I think Carly Simon said it best "Anticipation, its makin me wait, its keepin me waaaaaaaaaiting".....lol and good luck.
:cry :shrug :beer

Here's an ideal... Get some old clothes and tear holes in them. Get some grease and dirt on your face and a cardboard sign that says will work for food. Stand at the street corner for a few hours and after you get a few $20s got get your oil changed. I've heard its an easy way to make $100+ per day. The only problem is that it's only good for a few days.

well maybe one day unicef will get into the auto industry and start giving out free repairs, but until that time maybe u should cut back to say 7 cases a week instead of 9 :shrug

pepe, It's me again!! oil? I'll email you some pics today and ask about your address for the ups shippment. JFR

Sorry, I forgot to say the top is all set to go JFR

I feel your pain Pepe, believe me.

I finally got her home this weekend! We loaded her up on a flatbed trailer during the rain/snow on Saturday morning and finally plopped her on my driveway. Da Tank looks much better sitting in my driveway than she did sitting out in a muddy lot. Got a little bit of work done, removed the side steps, alternator, fan, fan shroud, AC, and brakets. I hope to have the engine ready to pull out this weekend.

I hope you get everything settled Pepe.

hey burl, that picture you got "OWNED" dude that was way to NARLY!! where did you get the pic... hope it wasn't you!


HEY PEPE, hope things at the new job are KEWL! You are definintely almost out of the woods when you start collecting paychecks...even if they are every two weeks!!
When I was in the navy... I just couldn't get used to the every other week thing...so I let the old lady deal with it.!!! made things much better!

any-who... good luck and keep your chin up!! (easier for us to hit ya!! LOL)

Just be patient and it will be worth it.I have been there and it sucks but it will pay off in the end.
