So how does the repo work...since they took it back does that mean any back (or future) payments are also void? Or do you still owe them money (loan balance less current value of the vehicle or something like that)?

I could bail it out for about $1700, but I won't.

It will go to auction, and then I will owe the balance.

That sucks.

Everything sucks

Need second beater.

I would not be opposed to this. The seller is obviously reasonably intelligent.

I could do a Volvo 850. I should probably just shop for 850s.

The V6 seems a bit weak to push that thing around.  Better with the V8.

That's a lot of miles.

I've already had a Focus, and that one is way overpriced

Oh.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Theoretical rule: my next car has to be made before 1985. Deal?

[Eye of the Tiger]

All the old cars are either overpriced, or pickup trucks. Fuck.

Maybe I can find a nice 90s econobox.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Reality check.
My left knee is going to hell. Even Fiesta's super light clutch was painful to drive.
Am I going full autotragic? Perhaps. FML.

Am I imagining things or don't you have a Jeep Cherokee?

I indeedilly do have a Jeep Cherokee.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Craigslist is dead, and I don't do facebook.
I think I will go to an auction and buy something questionable.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Cherokee just got a tune up - plugs-wires-cap-rotor. Much better. Was a bit skippy before.

Still needs things.

Since it has real gauges, I can tell that the temp creeps past 220 sitting in traffic on a hot day with the AC on max. I have also known for a while that the alternator has a bad diode or two since it only puts out 13.1 volts, or 12.4 with a load ... eek.

I picked up a cheeeep alternator from my parts store, and I need to get a new radiator fan clutch - may upgrade to a Grand Cherokee clutch for some xtra airflow and shittier MPG. Might get an oversized all aluminum radiator because race car. Also have a trans cooler sitting around, so will throw that in, too.

Would like a stereo (it has none), but all these mechanical things will cost enough already

[Eye of the Tiger]

So I did the alternator and upgraded severe duty ZJ fan ckutch today. That's when I noticed the radiator is leaking. So yeah, I'll be getting this:

[Eye of the Tiger]

Aaaaaand the radiator blew out as soon as I pulled up to my house. Fuck.

[Eye of the Tiger]

So Jeep is back on the road.
Got a new cheepo radiator.
Also bypassed the built-in trans cooler/warmer and installed a real trans cooler behind the bumper. Shit is real, dawg.

[Soup DeVille]

Yay Joop.

[Eye of the Tiger]

No, Jerp.

Ah, so you saw the Camaro. It is a Z28.

I get way too nostalgic for XJ's. I loved riding in my dad's back in the 90s.

XJs are timeless classics.
