Got halfway home and suffered a major oil pan failure (It failed to hold the bits inside when the engine let go...)

Then I found an electrical contractor selling a beat up S10 with only 80k miles. I'll combine the best parts of both and have a nice little truck for about $1000 total.

My Civic is dying a slow death and needs to be replaced soon. Negotiating with my wife to figure out what that will look like. I want a new turbo Camaro, she points at a brand new BMW M3 and says get one of those... but then says I only have $8000 to spend. Negotiations could take a while....

Finally, my aunt is the original owner of a '67 Mustang. She's planning to sell and I think it would be a shame for it to be sold outside the family. I'm not sure how I'll afford it, but I feel I need to at least try. Oh yeah, and I hate Mustangs.

I do this to myself, but I can't stop.

:P
