Just not my time . . .
 
I feel like i never come on here anymore. Maybe its cuz i dont . . .haha. Just dont have any time. Well to make a long sappy story short-
Im working 2 jobs right now, M-F, the Z is a demanding project with issues popping up all the time and gas is too damn expensive to keep dumping 15-20bucks just for a 1/4 tank. And as my luck would have it i get an engine with a crappy manifold leak issue again. Its the foremost bolt that sheered off and now it sounds horrible. It still needs hella work and i just dont have the time or money anymore. I need a cheap ass beater or a bike. I can always get a Z later but now isnt the time i guess. I got so much shit goin on i cant seem to really focus on anything. It sucks. So yea . . .the Z is now for sale.

crucial . . . :puke:

SHADY280 06-28-2007 07:11 PM

dude, what??? you ppl just give up, park it and start later, cruise in the jag till then!! or ship it to me, and ill take care of it for free! but i get to keep it for a while

entropy31 06-28-2007 07:26 PM

pivotal.....


those thoughts keep crossing my mind too though. z wants brakes, clutch, and diff right now. i am trying to whittle the costs down as much as i can without sacraficing quality. sigh..... stupid mortgage....

KTM200-280zxt 06-28-2007 09:06 PM

Id sell it and get a cheap bike for daily communing. It sucks but like you said youll always be able to get another one some day when you have everything under control.

duowing 06-28-2007 09:37 PM

I think you'd be best to just set it aside until you can come back.

NismoPick 06-28-2007 10:24 PM

I think you need to be punched (in a friendly way). :D

snwbrderphat540 06-29-2007 01:32 AM

i think you need to win the lottery.... and share it with me!!!!!

WildmaN 06-29-2007 05:31 AM

Ah come on Apollo, you have put so much into that Z. Don't get rid of it, you will regret it bro'.:tear: Just do what people have said on here. Park it, and come back to it, when you are ready to mess with it again. You will be glad, you did, mark my words man. I have sold vehicles, that I regretted selling. Just my 2 cents man, give it some thought. And good luck to you, whatever you decide.;)

tickwon 06-29-2007 06:46 AM

You know I was in the same boat...I kept my ZX, bought a Saturn for $2000. Work on my ZX every now and then. That was just my 2 cents. :D I just couldn't see giving up my ZX, not after how much work I put into it.

SpeciallySpiked 06-29-2007 06:51 AM

don't give up it man, just save it for later

hoov100 06-29-2007 07:05 AM

i gave up both times and it has been nothing but regret ever since..

veyenyl 06-29-2007 10:41 AM

You too huh. Must be something in the water in the bay area.

duowing 06-29-2007 11:30 AM

It was just like my ZX, I got discouraged, so it got parked in the garage, and on a couple occasions tried to sell it. I almost did, but the sale fell through. I eventually decided since I could manage to sell it I started working on it more, and now it's running better than it ever has and I'm really glad it didn't get sold.

icice9 06-29-2007 12:39 PM

jesus... you cant just give up.. thats just Gay.. your just talking crazy rite now.. youll snap out of it.. you jsut need to take a hit from the bowl.. step back and say to yourself.. i cant sell it now.. not after all the work i put into her.. watch.. youll change your mind...

entropy31 06-29-2007 12:42 PM

ice i hope you can cruise over there and smack him one for us. this is just silly. its only one car, and the money you would "make" wouldnt cover anything in anyones life right now.

icice9 06-29-2007 08:23 PM

he better not sell it.... hes just going through one of those moments in his relationship with his Z.... it'll pass...

apollo 07-01-2007 03:49 PM

Sorry guys. Im not giving up. Im just being logical. I dont have the time or money to keep it up anymore. Not only that, i just dont have the energy. This car has been more labor intensive and problematic than ever. In the last 3 days i got 5 tickets. 5 ****ing tickets. I can truly say that, from the deepest, darkest parts of my soul, i hate the city of Berkeley, CA and every single person involved with it. If i have to deal with one more cop i'll probably go to prison for homicide. I swear to god. I cant take it anymore. i cant drive a nice car or any car for that matter with out being pulled over and harassed. Its not ****ing fair. Just cuz im young, male and not white.

Aside from all this. yes. the Z is for sale or trade. Im looking for a bike. 600cc's or smaller. Wanna trade anyone? If not im only looking for 2000 or best offer for the Z.

snwbrderphat540 07-01-2007 04:50 PM

what were the tickets for?

hate to break it to ya but getting a crotch rocket isn't going to help that problem...
but I understand the fuel costs being a big part of your decision.

apollo 07-01-2007 06:01 PM

2x no front plate
2x no tags
1x for making a left turn at a no left turn intersection despite the fact that every single intersetion on that MAJOR blvd has a no left turn from 8am-10am. Its the only one along the 7 mile stretch. I know. I drive that area every day for work. But the dike cop who needs her throat slit very slowly with a rusty blade wouldnt even hear me out.

icice9 07-01-2007 06:13 PM

dude... dont sell it... just park it for now and come back to it when you have more time wo work on it.... dont worry bout the 5 tickets.. only one was a moving violation... lol cant throw in the towel yet...

icice9 07-01-2007 06:43 PM

daymn... he already posted it for sale...
