Then I spent a bunch of time with the girl. She is turning out to be a keeper guys.

Made me a bouquet of bacon. Like those edible arrangement's, only bacon!!!!

 

The original idea was to get something to do a quick flip on since tax return season is here and people will be looking to buy a vehicle. I decided to buy something a little bigger for me and sell the Grand Am. I probably won't make a profit but I should at least break even.

I did look at a few SS Monte Carlos and I looked at trucks, Caddys, Lincolns, I even looked at a Vette. I ended up buying a 2002 Jaguar X type. It needs some love to get it back the way it should be but I got it at an unbeatable price. We went and looked at it, Almost didn't get it but offered the guy half of what he was asking and he took it so I brought it home. I stopped to get fuel and I accidentally ended up breaking off the fuel door because it was stuck.

It has a miss on cylinder #6 so I am going to do a complete tune up with fluids and filters and replace the coil on that plug. Even with a dead miss I drove it from south Atlanta to the house and the fuel gauge barely moved off full.

I love people that aren't mechanics because you can get a great deal. He bought the car in 2013. Since then he put in a new water pump, radiator, over flow tank and a few other things. It started to miss and he had enough and just sold it. He was not a mechanic so he had to pay a shop every time it needed something. Bad for him, good for me. Since Ford owns Jaguar it's basically a Lincoln clone with a different body.

 

Just remember money is not everything. You got to take some time to enjoy life to. Be there done that two full time jobs at once.

 

Ford divested Jaguar during the Great Recession.

At the time of production '89-'08 did own Jaguar it is now owned by the Indian company Tata.

Yes, you own a FORDUAR.

 

My wife thinks you are going thru you midlife crisis lol

 

I have never grown up so it can't be that.

I have had the Grand Am since it was new and I was ready for something a little bigger and nicer.

 

if you ever get into a wreck with it, I pray for you. They are pain to do body work on! But thats fairly nicer than the other same years Ive seen

I enjoy life by working. Welding is fun, cars are fun. Im working 2 jobs, and I own a business. Its hard running your own, Ive done it 3 times. If im not working im not happy, unless im spending time with someone I care about like my new girl. She is very ****ing awesome, and I think the first and only one who has broken down this rough structure I have.

 

Maybe she's the right one

 

itd be nice. First time in my life, I actually sat in my truck after work, and pondered on life and how much she actually made in impact in the short amount of time. My coworker thinks im in love and havent been around the block, but ive had all the stereotypical woman you can imagine, and I had to grown up early in age. This girl might have shot my high flying plane out of the sky.

 

Jacob, she sounds like a keeper for any woman to be interested in what you do, and cook.Makes life easy.

 

We met in Jan , moved in together in Feb, married in April . 32 years ago. If she the right one you will know real fast

Minus cost of mirrors what kind of money to do the fab work?

 

We were together two years and just got married two months ago.I thought we did it fast.

 

Dated the first wife for four years, lasted almost 12. Met my wife in February, married in July, and this July we will celebrate 24 years together. Glad we met, it's her Papa's truck that I'm slowly restoring.

 

That maybe the key that you need marriage experience first. Wife's third my second.
