Everyday Randomness

Hubby just came in here and asked me if I’d be willing to part with my 1993 Saturn sc2. Even though the car has been out of commission for about 3 years now, it’s my baby. I’ve held onto it hoping one day I could fix it up again and do the things I want to it. I’ve always wanted to throw a custom turbo system into it. Seriously, turbo Saturns are awesome, I fell in love with this one years ago, and I’d love to do that to mine.

Hubby knows I’ve held onto it, and in a way he has, too. We dropped so much cash in that car it’s ridiculous, but a lot of it was Hubby’s fault. He thought he was a race car driver in it, and because of that we went through 5 transmissions. He’d sling the pin through the bell housing, knock a hole in it, and we’d have to replace it. The last one we finally had the pin welded in place, and then we dumped a ton of cash into the car. We rebuilt the motor and the backup motor we had, beefed up the suspension (and the Saturn sc2s use coilovers), ripped out the interior and replaced it, and did a ton of other stuff. It didn’t matter though. The pin might have been welded in place, but Hubby still ended up breaking it. That’s when we parked it and decided it wasn’t worth fixing at the time, but I always had hopes we’d fix it again one day.

Now Hubby has a friend that wants to buy it as a parts car. He’s willing to give me $500 for it, and honestly, it’s not even worth that much. We’ve beat it black and blue, and if I do sell it to him I won’t allow him to pay me that much. See what a good person I am? *eye roll* But now, I have to convince myself to part with it. It’s going to be a really hard thing to do.
