While still waiting for my Model 3... my ICE car is trying to prove it's anger at me for looking to replace it. Before ordering the Model 3, I have the '02 Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Right after purchase I had to replace hoses(expected), then the radiator blew. Replaced it. Front upper and lower Ball joints were crap, replaced them.. Replaced Sway bars. Then replaced tie rods. Few months later, Full brake replacement including one caliper that didn't want to play nice. Blew Spark Plug due to bad threads, HeliCoil and run. Fast forward to Feb of this yr, Spark Plug 2 decided to try to jump into orbit. Helicoil again. Got tired of gas Prices and decided 3/10 to order my Tesla. Next day the Engine begins to misfire, bad coil pack. I jokingly ask my SA if Tesla will provide me an "Extended" Test drive until mine arrives which got a laugh, as I expected. Fast forward to last night. Driving home, I blow a fitting on the intake manifold, tossing the hose aside and spraying the engine and such with coolant. Friend was able to get it "Engineered" with a new fitting instead of replacing the manifold. He said it will hold... it won't be pretty... but I might have a few more months left on this before it's a huge rebuild. So I'm hoping it will last until August where my EDD is sitting. So I just decide to enjoy what I can, following what we say at work. "It's not the end that matters, but the Journey that makes us who we are" I have most of the accessories I want sitting in my living room including the newest item for the trunk.
