Realizing what a money pit my car is...

Ive been thinking lately and all from my car....

NEEDED SPENDING
-Ticket group #1 - court on Wednesday (day after my graduation) to plead down as much as possible.
-Ticket group #2 - court on July 1, bringing the TSB from my dads car saying the blinkers were inop due to mechanical failure, hopefully gettin em thrown out.
-Traffic court - from the tickets.
-Insurance/car payments - goddamnit my moms being a friggin loan shark lol

THEN...
-Tires - I have 1 fine, 1 alright, 1 completely dead and 1 about halfway dead.
-Tranny/Engine - 152,000 miles on em both... keepin a wary eye out, esp. on the tranny (it sorta "pops"/"jumps" into gear going into D or R)
-Radar Detector - for safety
-Some type of security system - for uh.. .security heh.

AND THEN I WANNA...
-Exhaust - magnaflow high-flow cat + cat-back
-Intake - SLP CAI

this is ignoring little things too like shift improver kit.. .and cosmetics (ie rear letter fill-ins). Also ignoring big dreams like switching in a t56 or changing read drums to discs. And I'm completely ignoring my wish of the 2002 or 1969 SS... puttin that aside for a little... lol little being a good 15-20 years at least at the rate im going.

So, I'm now accepting donations. Also will sell spare organs for a good price.
