Default Black Hole

Not trying to be racist. Meaning a money pit. I just keep throwing money in mine and there never seems to be an end to it. BUT I can't think of anything I'd rather do with my money. Well eating does come in at a close second.

Thats what I thought, but there is always another mod. I got close to the once, but the end is so far away now, i can hardly see it.:D

Since I own the car, I look at it as my car payment. Only instead of my car getting older with each payment, it gets better. :yesnod:

I can think of better things to do with my money, err, actually my wife can. I am hoping I am getting close to getting the pit full. I still have a few more things to do though.

O2 sensors -- ouch.

rear differential lube -- I hope that fixes the cornering noise.

drain and refill transmission -- just because nothing else was maintained on this car.
