The daily grind

Well as most of you know, Epic has been down with a busted 4l60e since sometime in July. So the Astro Van has been my daily since then. Strong reliable piece of machinery I must say but not my style. Never really has been. I prefer being lower to the ground. But it's served it's purpose.

Well the story is, the van is my mom's. And she' just made the final payment on it. So about a month ago she says once it's paid off - she wants it back. By all means. So we basically traded. I did the matinance on the van and gave it back to my mom, she gave me her daily - a 1999 Mitsu Mirage. It's weak, bad paint, and has a horible knock in the engine but otherwise it's cool. It's only temporary though cause with my tax return (which is now in hand) Epic's tranny with be fixed (and then some hehehehe). But I guess there was no point to this thread other than to explain my signature. So lets see - big aluminum spoiler, fart can, roof scoop, big vinals.... yah, then I'll be cool. But to be honest, I've had this desire to take a chit load of masking tape and black spray paint and flame the thing just for giggles.

Look up a stock 99' Mirage in red. Thats the pics. Nothing has been done to it so pics are pointless. I did more to the Van than I have this thing so far.

Good to hear Epic will be up and running again.

I'm sure our refund is going straight into our savings account. It's good but it sucks at the same time. I could get a blower for the refund we're getting back.
