Just want to Thank Racingjunk!!
I am 24 years old I have a fiance of 9 years and 2 small boys. We are a good ole fashioned type family that try our best to do right by anyone and everyone in our power...ANYWAY...
I traded off my first NICE "worth something" truck for a 1989 short box that had some nice paint, posi, lot's of custom work done..etc..Well, I traded off a 1991 W/T V6..for this V8 short bed low rider style truck...Not one week after making my first "wheel and deal" The motor blew in it. Wrist pin came out and gouged up the already .060 over 305 cylinder wall. Needless to say it scrapped the motor. I spent the last year and a half building a 355 with every last spare Penny I could get. My fiance graduated college and we got her our nicest car ever (outside of old cavaliers & S-10's) an 04 grand am...
Well after all of this I went out and got me my nicest "daily driver" ever, a 1995 Tahoe...2 days after having it, Tranny went out..LITERALLY another 24 hours after the transmission was rebuilt....Crank went out & the motor...Unrepairable.
SO, the 2 month old motor HAD to come out of my "street rod" and putt in to my Tahoe. & now my short box was left in the drive way AGAIN with no motor, no money, & little to NO motivation to do it all over again. On TOP of that, My fiance's car was stolen and totaled just after the motor blew in the Tahoe.
Well to my point, I putt it on RacingJunk in hopes that someone would want to do something with it and give me enough money for a down payment on a car/suv for my fiance..That did NOT happen..BUT I was given a pretty nice turnkey 1981 Camaro that needs just a little TLC.
Not sure if this is exactly a success story YET...but I am in good spirits after the awaited trade that took place this morning.
So...I just wanted to Say thank you to the RacingJunk staff, admins, folks that created it..etc...everyone...I appreciate your services!!
Thanks, Ryan
Sorry for the life story..lol..Guess I just wanted to get all that off my chest and tell it in a POSITIVE way instead of a negative one for once...Thx for anyone that took the time to read it as well.
