Not gonna make it...

After reviewing my finances it looks like I'm not going to be able to get my car back together before the Jam this year.  I still need the rack & pump, all the brakes, tie rod ends, struts, shocks and to run new brake lines.  I might still show up a while to see folks, but my car will be a no-show. 

If I could ever get a reasonable amount of money for the car & the parts I'd probably sell it all because at this point in my life I have no room for a 23 year old car that needs so much work. :disappoin

Just to give you an idea of what my finances are looking like, my next paycheck is about $549.  After I pay my bills, I'll have $25.  That's not enough for gas in my car for 2 weeks.

Mine will only show if it will stop getting such poor mileage, and my sending unit starts working. I need tires, brakes, and bushings.

I dunno, thinking about it again, it might be too soon to make that call.  CJ is still 2+ months away.  I really don't want a last-minute wrap up like last year, though.
