Default Threw a plug

Well fellas you all know i was trying to sell my stang when i was driving to get it washed 5 miles down the road and i heard a load poping that reminded me of a header leak. I took a closer look and it seems it had thrown a plug. Not very cool.[:@] We're going to take a look at it monday a little more indepth and see if its that bad. Its either do alittle threading and buy a new plug or im screwed and i need a new set of heads. Well i guess i wont be selling it anytime soon! haha. Luck of the Irish for ya!

PS anyone with aftermarket heads that still has their stock heads and looking to sell them give me an IM. I might be looking to buy some. . . .

Wow that's too bad about your plug, hope it doesn't cost big $$$
Say, what ever happened to that English bird who was going to buy your car and pop it across the pond? Was she just trying to rip you off?

Thanks for the vote of confidence jack @$$ but the stupid british girl backed out of the deal. [:@][:@] At the last minute she said "she couldnt get the funding after all" so im still pretty pissed about that.

The more i think about it though the more im starting to feel it probably was a scam but they chickened out. Oh well its a dumb idea though. I have to pay off the bank so if the bank doesnt have their money no one gets the title. The bank owns the title right now. So i dunno how you scam them but oh well. You live and learn right.
