Now she's gone gone gone

Yep .... i Junked my 1990 plymouth acclaim today . she had 237,316 miles on her , i bought this car 9 years ago for $400.00 with a known blown head gasket at 97,000 miles . after installing a new head gasket for $30.00 it turns out it needed more then just a head gasket , was told the head was damaged and the top half of the motor would need to be replaced ,..... the local service shop said it was about a 1,200 job , and so i thought there has to be a cheaper way ... so i made my way to the local bone/junkyard and hand picked a used motor out of a junked car for another $400.00 with a 1 year warranty, well 9 years and another 140,000 miles later she finally gave out and i had to put her down today , God rest her soul ! best $830.00 frog skins ive ever spent .

may i ask that we all bow our heads for a minute of silence in her memory ?

(edit) the man at the grave yard gave me $60.00 clams for her bones . so i guess its now the best $770.00 frog skins ive spent .

Slightly more than 1/2 of a cent per mile...can't do much better than that.

RIP....Amen.
 
Reincarnation.

At today's scrap prices, she'll be back to the US in no time. Maybe in one of those Chinese tube amps everyone is talking about.
 
Great story about getting the maximum value out of your car. May the junk-yard gods take good care of her.
