math time

i figured it out! 1 cubic inches = 0.016387064 litres i have a 96.8 cubic inches in my corolla, therefore i have a 1.5 ltr
i have a very little motor.

story time

so I have been looking for a car for a while, i have chosen an amount that i want to spend, gone and got a line of credit that will absorb the amount, chosen the things we must have and the list of things that we would like to have. i added a few biases that i have and away we go. so i was looking for something kinda around the 3-4 g's and had picked a few from the pack. now i live 40 minits away from the major city so going in to see a car is a bit of a process. i had called several people to set up times when i could go see there cars, and left many messages. this means that when someone calls back i don't know what car they have. there are just to many of them to keep strait. a few gents had called me and one worked out where it was convenient enough for me to drive int winterpeg and go see it. so i drive 40 minits and get to the edge of the city, then i go another 40 to get to this stupidly hard to find - right next to the industrial part of the city - apartment complex. i drive in and see a man in his late 30's standing next to a slightly used 1989 Toyota corolla. he looks friendly and i start talking to him about the car. now i should tell you his asking price was close to 1g and this is not the kind of car i had been thinking of, but if you know me you know i am open to all kinds of new experiences (pony anyone) well, i take the car for a drive and find out a few things, #1 the exhaust is totally shot! as in it is missing major components, like the muffler, #2 i need to put in new cv shafts. #3 it has a booming awesome 20 yr old canadiantire tape deck missing some buttens! #4 the front tires are shot but the back ones are brand new! #5 it has rust #6 it was bought new by a nun and insured by a Catholic insurance company that insures clergy (are nuns clergy?) #7 she runs and drives like a new car! lots of power (4 a 4 cylinder) and is completable! all in all this car is a good car but someone is going to put some cash into this one. it is not a turn key car (Yet) i drive back to the house and am feeling like i should pass on this car cuz what i would offer would be insulting. so i tell the owner just that and turn to walk away. he sais "i am moving and i need to sell it, give me your offer" I turn around and say, no i don't think so and he sais "please do" I say all i can offer is $300.00 he said $500.00 and i say $400.00!
it was roughly half the asking price and now i have a line of credit i don't need as well as a car i never thought i would get. So now my only question is ................................... what the heck am i going to do with this thing?

Witnesses in court are asked to put their hand on the Bible while they swear to tell the truth. Has anyone else noticed the irony that if they would open that Bible to James 5 verses 34-37, they would find these words:
“34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 Simply let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No"; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”

Remember the theory that if you put a million monkeys in a room with a million typewriters, eventually they would produce the complete works of Shakespeare? This theory was supposed to explain evolution. I think that the World Wide Web is proof positive that this myth is busted.

i have spent some time doing some looking for a replacement car lately. if you know me at all you would think this would be an easy task for me, but this is the information i don't have.
#1 what type of vehicle i need
#2 how much i have to spend
i like it better when an Ulriksen wants a car. "Pete, i have 2 grand. i need wheels." "I have 2 options, 1 van and 1 car." "K, bring over my new wheels!"
Not Chris, the conversation with him is much more .................................................. pointless. lots more words and far fewer decisions.
