Jerry I met you at D7 and your a nice guy but I really don't get you! Here you have a person who is giving you a free rebuilt motor, willing to transport it to you and help you put it in. All you need to do is get 2 volunteers to lend some muscle and supply some mountain dew! I have been following this thread from the very beginning and have seen numerous people try to help you. Hell thats how you got betty in the first place is by someone giving her to you. You have come up with every possible excuse immaginable as to why you cant do this or that. This problem is solved! Get this motor, put it in with help and get your ass to school! I like you and I feel for you with the troubles you have gone throug but now your just being plain pigheaded.

FINALLY! Thats the best decision you have made yet. Good luck. I understand you will have to wait a little longer for school but at least you will have a running car when the time comes. It will also give you a little extra time to work out any bugs in the car so it is reliable when you can go to school.

You are like me Jerry. You really don't like to let people help you. You feel like it's "taking a handout" and "that's not what you are about". Sometime you need help dude. I know I did and I would not be here where I am today if I did not have good friends lay their time and money on the line for me. I wish I was closer because I would be over there elbow deep in the engine with you.

I was told I was getting a raise 1 yr ago... I"m still waiting. Sometimes things take a rediculously long time.. But, I am still waiting- it'll happen. LOL
Not to give advice.. but I'm 30, and just returned to school last year. I kept putting it off for one thing or another. Thing is.. now that I have a wife and child, I HAD to go back.. You're only 5 days from the school thing.. If you can find a way to get there those 5 days.. do it.. cause in three months, who knows what else will happen. I originally dropped out of college to take 3 months and make up some extra $. I waited what.. 9 years to go back? There was always an excuse for me not to return. But, after 9 years, once I got back, and was paying for it (loans) I found that I stuck with it.. I'm just saying... if you can get there those 5 days, do it man.. Just trust this "old" guy. 
Oh yeah, and the free engine- save up for the hot dogs.. LOL

And a running car will help out your possibilities for a second job.

yea i know what you mean, i actually already have 1.5 years of college done.. but yet another thing in life that screws me over.. i went to school in NC for a semester, and i owe them 2 grand, well i cant go to a real college again untill i pay it or they wont send my transcripts!! ( i had a high GPA so i refuse to let those good grades go.) this is my "going back" to college, so ive made all the hard steps.. waiting a few months is no big deal..
as long as i can get there and back in a few months, ill go .. not worried about it

I kinda support Jerry on this one. You need reliable transportation here in Pittsburgh. You dont want to break down on the road around here, because you are never too far from a bad neighborhood. Get the car running and running good. Since you are working and going to school you will not have time for much else.

which is now impossible.
I got promoted to supervisor 2 MONTHS ago.. and was SUPPOSED to be trained by now. i was just told yesterday that ive still got like 3 weeks to wait!!!  i was depending on that raise and money by now. at this point, insurance and everything is impossible.. schools coming up way to fast. i think the school starts every 3-6 months so im calling tomorrow. like i said im picking up job #2 again.. so i can be sure i make it for the next semester. Theres no aruging this one.. i have to wait. period.
but as far as the car, if you guys still want to help, regardless of school waiting, its up to you, i guess ill give in this time cause Andrew is ready to kill me!! |

I have no problems with you putting off school another 3 months, lets just get this organized and get you ready to roll so that your mobile
and dont think of this as a charity case, I expect lotsa (cold) Mt. Dew!

Bobadoo, tryin to get your console piece to ya. But can't quite figure out a good way to package it to get it there safely. I'll keep working on it. While it's still here, can you think of anything else I can throw in with it? ------------------
