Anyone have a trailer with a winch I can borrow right now?

My car is blown up on an exit on 17. Engine just went.

I need to either drive get it home or get it to GST.

Then figure out wtf I'm gonna do because I don't have $7k laying around.



Anyone want to buy my car so I can buy a POS old forester or something?

It lost power. Got power. Lost power. Then just started knocking like a MF'er. I nursed it off of 17. No oil. Smells like coolant. Steam from the passenger side. Knock on the drivers side.

Something cut loose and dumped my oil. Threw a bearing. Hell if I know. Either way. It won't even start back up to get it the half mile to my office parking lot. I'd push it if it wasn't up hill. It's corked.


So I have to decide. Sell it as is and buy a POS. Drop it off with Mike and have him do it up for me... which I honestly can't afford.... have mert build me a motor and install it myself... buy one of those long blocks on craigslist and install that... Go EJ207... **** if I know. I just don't know how the hell I'm gonna get around with no car.

You are welcome to borrow my Outback for as long as you need if you need a POS beater car to hold you over. It is still just sitting gather dust It still has full registration and insurance on it. I do not care for anything in return.

That would be amazing. I'm not sure how long my car will be down and out.

Hopefully not more than a couple weeks...

For sure man. I'm out of town all weekend so I'll probably try to circle back with you on monday... or tomorrow night if you're around. I'll drop a line once I get back to the cabin.
