I get to do a tranny swap later this week.
I just need someone to carry it for me!
Sorry to hear about the lost of a car..I'm pretty much on the same boat as you. If you need to cry, I'll cry with you!
As for your new car..it's a huge difference from the Ep so do you really want to invest all this money into it? You plan on keeping this car for awhile? You can always replace the tranny, clean it up a tad and sell it.
You'll probably make money on it and then turn around and buy yourself something along the lines of the Ep, like am eg or somethin'. ?
Just questioning you because I've seen lots of people dump lots of money into cars to find that they got bored with it 6 months later. Good luck!
