    Angry MY rant

    After just spending $10 for a wash and a few other bucks completely vaccing the car out.. I drive home, to get changed ready to go out with mates.. and the Harmonic ****ing balancer dies.

    Bank account: $2
    Service: due in 2 weeks, got oils/filters coming in
    Harmonic Balancer: Anyone want a VR commodore, needs new harmonic balancer, slight panel work.. AS IS.




    ARGH!!

    spitting out chunks of the inside of the balancer pulley, and knocking harder than a whore's bed.

    Ouch, must be the week for Commodore breakdowns, my wagz spat the bottom radiator hose yesterday on the way to work, luckily was able to pull it over immediately and shut it off without any damage..

    Certainly spoils your weekend when something like that happens on a Friday
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?

    On a brighter note... at least it didn't rain after washing your car did it ? That usually happens to me...

    Dude just get another balancer fitted it's not that hard or costly job !!!

    it's all good trent, at any stage in your life you will experiance what your going threw, a broken car, need car to get to work, need work to fix car, cant get to work cause car is broken. it's a vicious cycle. you will find a way, i have been in the same spot as you have been, worked out for me, it will for you also.

    Yeah i had the VR mine went well may not have completely went was still able to drive but in the crap traffic on the Bruce Highway stop start stop stop start it kept stalling. Was heading to Bundy from Brissy on a friday arvo. Made it to bundy dad had a look and said i need a new one straight away thought crap gonna be stuck here for days cos places open in Bundy on weekends dont mix. But anyway managed to score adn whack it in in around a 1.5 hours or there abouts. Was crapping thinking i would never get back to Brissy for work. Prob not a bad thing tho.

    Your car looks very similar to the one I saw down at Noble park being driven like it was stolen. If it was you, you're a f***wit mate and hope you end up wrapped around a pole before you and all those other retards down there kill someone.

    If it wasn't you, I sincerely apologise.
