    RIP

    1995-2005
    I think the grocery getter ZJ may have made its last run to Giant Eagle. Broke down on a trail today and it looks like I blew the engine. Its pretty fawked up. It makes me so very very sad...
    Probably won't be wheeling again for quite some time seeing as how I have about 200 dollars to my name and college right around the corner.

    Are you saying that I abuse my grocery getter?




    Sorry to hear it... What are the symptoms, other than no go? V8 or I6?

    The good thing is our engines can be had for pretty cheap used.

    Yeah, its official. Rod shot out straight through the oil pan. I guess it was just its time. 184,680 miles is pretty good. It was an I-6. I think I'm gonna replace the engine... anyone know a good junkyard?
