The vultures are circling my Z

Jayhovah · 02-21-2018, 11:34 AM

I have been homeless for 3 weeks... our apartment lease finally ended and we had planned to stay with my future in-laws for "a few days" before our house remodel is "done enough" for us to be able to move in. Well, that was 21 days ago and since we have stayed at their place, a dirty AF La Quinta Inn, and an Airbnb... I have been driving my Ranger every day because occasionally my contractor will call and be like "I need three toilets right this second" so my Z has been sitting in their yard doing it's best to construct a shelter entirely out of pollen.

Apparently all kinds of people are stopping by these days to try and "take it off their hands."

HANDS OFF, vultures!

Watch out for the ones that show up with a cutting torch in tow.

Perhaps rent a storage unit for the time being to keep your car safe for the time being.

I've had enough of the vultures and just plain miss driving my Z so I am swapping the Ranger into it's place today. Mobile detail/wash guy comes by my office on Thursday mornings so it will get some love tomorrow too.

What happened there?

I picked up the car today... the battery was dead as a door-nail and, for the first time ever, I had to extract the key from the fob just to unlock the car. Took a minute to get the battery charged enough to start with jumper cables but then all was well. I was pretty sure my BOV's would be stuck after sitting that long but everything seems to be in good working order. Looking forward to getting her cleaned up tomorrow! Felt so good to be able to move like that again.

He had the car at the shop for Amuse bumper install and paint, a guy saw it, gave him an offer, so Carlos sold the car.

What the fudge.

I am never going to sell this car. Doing a build like this was the fulfillment of a dream I've had since I was a teenager.
