Blew the head gasket on the DD
« on: May 05, 2008, 11:04:40 AM »
So we blew the head gasket on the Ranger..... and I was going to just drive it till it was toasted - cuz we can't afford to fix it or replace it right now.  So I told my mom (who doesn't want to toast the Ranger cuz it's got sentimental value) and she traded me the Ranger for her '88 Acura Legend.  It's been wrecked in the front but it's still drivable.  It needs an alignment job bad, but first is going to be the water pump - it's got cooling issues.  So at least I'm going from 13 mpg to about 28 mpg :woohoo:

She didn't have the Legend a long time ago.. she just got it goin about a month ago - and it's got ISSUES... but they're fixable.  And I'll fix it for the MPG.
