Re:Who is in debt 'cause of car??
i spent more than that on an ecu.
you think that hurts? rear end a toyota avalon after your insurance has lapsed...you'll be lucky if it sets you back 7 grand. so not only do you get to watch the wreckers crush what was once your car, but then you get to pay the silly bitch who pulled her ebrake on the freeway.

----, it's long over. i settled for 7500 a claim that they said totaled out over $12,900.
BUT, that was my old bimmer, a '77 e12 530i naturally aspirated with ported head, high comp & a mild cam. if it weren't for its destruction, i wouldn't have been anywhere near the deal of the century when i bought all of this turbo stuff, so good things come out of the bad i suppose.
cars are a good healthy investment though. better waste your money on parts than an eight ball of coke. hehe, a cop once said that to me. said, 'well, we know when we see those of you with decked out cars on the road that you ain't spending your hard earned on coke.'
i suppose he's right. and think of how much we learn by tinkering. even through failure. blown engines/tranny's/axles are the greatest opportunity that exists for a young person with a little money and a hell of a lot more time and ingenuity.
