I'm going to be chuckling at this for at least 4 months. Partially just to piss off my partner.

I just learned where Earth City Missouri is.

Thats funny as I used to work in Bridgeton but didnt k ow where Earth City was.

Bringing up a dead thread...

We have had some great weather the last few days, and this weekend is going to be nice too. Here is a little deal/situation I'm doing/ did 3 days ago...

About a year ago my stepson (32yrs) got a 05 chevy equinox given to him by his grandmother. He replaced the water pump with my direction and all was good. Two days ago he said it overheats and has no heater. I drive a 08 Nissan Altima Coupe and only drive 12 miles to work where he drives 110 miles to work. I told him that the blue book value on my car is about 4k but I could sell it for more because of the used market right now. And with the fact that I don't need a car for the next 5 months (according to the doctors), let's trade. So he gave me the equinox (146k miles, worth 2k on kbb) plus the 4k cash (in payments) for my Nissan.

It took me 5 hours just to clean the grime, gunk, and trash from the equinox before id think of driving it. Found a little Coke spoon under the seat too that I'm not going to bring up to him or his mother. Dumb-ass. The struts and shocks are shot, trim missing, door panel falling off, a quarter glass shattered. The overheating issue was a simple fix. Bleed the system as he didn't get all the air out. Dumb-ass again. I warned him about that when we replaced the water pump. He is really happy with my cool Nissan. I know he will trash it soon or demolish the trans being a dumbass but that's on him. I warned him!

I sat up late last night and ordered 800 bucks worth of parts that need replacing or were just torn off (damn kid). Today I'm going to shampoo the hell out of the interior as it's covered in gunk and stains and smells bad. In the end, this gives him a nice little car to drive that is in great condition and me a project to do (being I'm one-handed. One-armed still from surgery, and off work for a few months). I can take my time doing it and will make him help when I need it. I will drive this one to work for a couple of years and then sell it. It won't be worth anything by then but it will drive, be clean and everything will work so what the hell. He gets a nice little car to zoom around in, for now, and I get a little project to spend time on.

Ahhh grasshopper, great distraction indeed.
Very zen, the sound of one hand clapping,, or swearing,, hehe
Good luck and have fun bringing it back to good nick.

Don't people who don't take care of things chap your back side?
I work on other people's cars and sometimes I don't even want to sit on the seat. Sometimes I'll open the door and German cockroaches fall out. I feel like saying, "and you were riding around in this rolling dumpster?"

Pics Jerry!!! We need pics.
