just watched my jeep pull away, so im back to only owning 2 wheels again.... :wtfru:

I got the asking price in cash less then 3 days from when i posted the jeep on craigslist, not too shabby if you ask me

I am taking that and paying the buell off

Rant
why the fuck would hd financial services say I have shitty credit and say they could only loan 3,500 and my banker says my score is 730 and had no problem getting me a loan for 9k?:whosr: stupid fags gave me a interest rate of stupid proportions, but i wasnt too concerned since i knew i was going to pay it off fast and its was for a small amount and would help with my credit/Rant

looks like next week it will be new car time :boobs:

Bikes are harder to get credit for because they're considered toys. :idk:

If it meant the difference of having a bike and high interest and not riding at all, I am paying the high interest. I figure finance companies know us that well.

Oh it's got an STi motor? Then don't you want an STi hood with the larger hood scoop for the intercooler?

its actually a limiting factor for the line of site, and the intercooler in a perrin which is much larger then the stock subaru one and if im not mistaken flows better then the sti

HD probably had too many people default on their loans, so unless your credit is pristine they screw you.

Love the new car! I'm a Subaru owner myself :D Hubby wanted a WRX, but knew he wouldn't behave with it so he got the Outback (non-turbo).

Enjoy!

Brats are cool, but most of them would probably be rusted to hell.

SVX are also cool, but I think that is a unique chassis, so parts & aftermarket are probably a struggle.

Personally I would put it in a 2.5RS. Love that body style.

which is odd because she is usually an adrenaline junkie, i think this is the first time a consequence has ever bitten back whenever an accident happens. I am taking it worse that she is upset then anything to do with the car

insurance appraiser comes tomorrow to take a look, i am going in at 8am to clean it out am take a vac to it, make it look as spotless as possible, i owe more then the KBB is on it because of all of the goodies it has on it, i know that the insurance agency knows my hobbies and when i had a quad stolen a few years ago they gave me retail for every part on the bike, i know that is not going to happen this time around, but atleast the big parts are enough to offset alot of the cost, i mean hell the turbo is a easy 2k, intercooler $500 retail ect. i plan on making a list tonight of everything with cost too

im pretty sure the only reason they cover me for so cheap is because my old man and I are with the same company and he has 2 corvettes, a hummer, a buick and a home owner policy, we are 2 seperate policies, but i think sometimes they are lenient for me, well up until now

so after all of it has settled, the gf is still refusing to talk to me, i am just giving her space and not trying to contact her...

its not helping im watching the new grays anatomy where the chick gets into a car accident... FML

I am fine, other then the guilt of having a passenger, esp. when it was someone i loved, she is fine other then shot nerves, but its the thought that it could of been worse, we really just slid along a fence that was like 7 feet from the road and never had a impact, just lateral friction as it slide along the vegation and debris, and earth

And that is why when "Soul" was riding on the back of my bike there was a definite limit I wouldn't pass.

I'm glad you are ok and the g/f as well.

You F'ed that car man.

If ins company doesn't pay up, perhaps you can steal some of the sweet parts for stock crap.

taking a look at a 1998 cherokee with 85k miles, important thing is low miles and a 5 speed tranny with the chrysler 8.25 rear axle
