Getting your car back after it's broken down, as exciting as getting a new car?

[QUOTE="sunburned, post: 9502842, member: 30336"] My engine blew up last June and the new motor went back into the car in November. But get this: One of the heads put on the new motor had been modified, so the valve cover didn't fit right and leaked. So after waiting 5 months and getting everything back together and had the car started, we had to pull the motor again and take it back to the machine shop for a new head. Got it all done right before Christmas, just in time for one of the biggest snowstorms this area has ever had, which dumped 2 feet of snow. Didn't drive it for another month until the snow was gone. Drove it to work a few times and then we had another even bigger snowstorm and got almost 3 feet. So yeah, out of the year I've owned my car, I've driven it maybe 4 months. Yes, I did upgrades with the new motor, but I think it'll be at about the same power. It's just louder now. Oh, and I'm selling it now too, so I'll be happy when I get a new car. [/QUOTE]
