-- Posted by snowcone200 at 2:44 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 My buick engine is probably seized I tried turning the wheel on the side and I wasn't able to turn it easy. When I get home I'm gonna try again and really pull on that thing. But anyway I wanted to just buy a used car for like 3000-7000. But my parents nagging saying that I should just get my buick fixed. I'm like fuck that I don't wanna go through putting a fucking new engine in that shit. It's a 93 model the engine got 160,000+ miles on it. I pull in 5k a year. So I am like why not just get a used car at least it fucking runs and won't have 160000 miles on it. My buick engine got rust and all kinds of shit and the brake fluid tank leaks, the heat don't work and it had a bad starter and some of the shit in it don't god damn work. I don't like doing stuff with nagging parents. I still live with mom and I am legally disabled so fuck taking the bus. See my dilema -- Posted by drifting at 2:46 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 If the car starts, the engine isnt seized. Perhaps your power steering isnt working? -- Posted by snowcone200 at 3:01 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 my buick wont start... the engine dont crank, if it dont turn when I hand crank it when I get home 2morrow then that buick is dead -- Posted by snowcone200 at 3:02 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 btw when i say hand crank, i meant i had the engine hood up and i was trying to turn the engine by hand -- Posted by rand0mguy at 5:43 am on Dec. 27, 2008 160000 miles is nothing wtf -- Posted by snowcone200 at 5:55 am on Dec. 27, 2008 sorry on this engine it is =D -- Posted by rand0mguy at 6:29 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from snowcone200 at 3:02 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 btw when i say hand crank, i meant i had the engine hood up and i was trying to turn the engine by hand wtf how old is this car -- Posted by snowcone200 at 6:51 am on Dec. 27, 2008 93" buick lesabre. very nice inside but half the fancy electric stuff don't work. -- Posted by ss454 at 8:42 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from rand0mguy at 9:29 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from snowcone200 at 3:02 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 btw when i say hand crank, i meant i had the engine hood up and i was trying to turn the engine by hand wtf how old is this car What does that have to do with age? -- Posted by snowcone200 at 8:49 am on Dec. 27, 2008 it  could help when finding parts,manuals and fixing a car. That why they always ask what year the car on everything. It means something. -- Posted by ss454 at 9:44 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from snowcone200 at 11:49 am on Dec. 27, 2008 it could help when finding parts,manuals and fixing a car. That why they always ask what year the car on everything. It means something. He quoted you saying you were turning the engine over.  I figured he thought that had something to do with age. -- Posted by snowcone200 at 10:04 am on Dec. 27, 2008 no every engine u can handcrank it to see if it seized or not I think -- Posted by ss454 at 5:46 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from snowcone200 at 1:04 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 no every engine u can handcrank it to see if it seized or not I think Yes, I know. I was unsure about him knowing that. -- Posted by IMPALA at 2:18 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 "the brake fluid tank leaks." uhhhhhhhhh -- Posted by IMPALA at 2:20 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 i guess you're gonna post when u finally get it running "oh sooo i hit a pole and killed ma car cuz ma brkez didnt work." inb4fail btw.. 3800s from these cars in JY's will cost between $400 and $600 in good running order.. find someone on the bonneville club to help you swap the motor in. it can be done in a few hours with experience.. -- Posted by snowcone200 at 2:32 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 damn I don't got that kind of money lol -- Posted by ss454 at 2:38 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 But you had the money for a used car? -- Posted by snowcone200 at 2:45 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 I will soon selling this buick and my check. -- Posted by IMPALA at 3:04 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 no offense but you're a fucking moron. -- Posted by snowcone200 at 3:11 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 i dont want it no more srry if I dissappointed you, didn't know you was a buick fan -- Posted by IMPALA at 6:06 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 it isnt even that. i like all kinda cars. its stupid to dump off a car when a whole fucking engine is cheaper than going and getting, re-insuring, re-plating another car.. u no? -- Posted by snowcone200 at 6:13 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 not if you can afford it. At least it will be a car I actually like and I would love to get a car I actually like. Then theres an incentive to fix it up and everything. Not this buick,was free tho -- Posted by 4est at 6:20 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 2:18 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 "the brake fluid tank leaks."   uhhhhhhhhh   The point eric is trying to subtly make here is that the brake system needs to be pressurized, which is why the cap on it is all vacummy and suctiony, and with a leak you gonna die, or get raped. -- Posted by snowcone200 at 6:22 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 the brake does show signs of loss of pressure when pushed. But it's just another problem that cost money. -- Posted by 4est at 6:24 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 6:06 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 it isnt even that. i like all kinda cars. its stupid to dump off a car when a whole fucking engine is cheaper than going and getting, re-insuring, re-plating another car.. u no?   Some people just want to drive a car they adore over a car that is cheaper/safer/in better condition. I sold an almost-perfect-except-no-heat car so I could buy a rusty pickup truck with no mirrors (I bolted one on off a Ford though), no radio, and a duct taped dashboard. Why? Because I adore the little truck, how it looks, how it feels like I'm driving a go-cart, and how I constantly hear things fall off it but never know what it was. Some people are just a little crazy. -- Posted by IMPALA at 10:07 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from snowcone200 at 6:22 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 the brake does show signs of loss of pressure when pushed. But it's just another problem that cost money. you should just do us all a favor and not post in here anymore you fucking moron. "another problem that cost money" i don't know how much you value your life but a $50 part could save a priceless life.. if someone else is in your car with you when it goes out.. you also take someone elses life with you, you selfish prick don't be fuckin jewish with your money. fix the NECESSARY items on the car.
