She's In A Coma
So this week went by terribly. I just got my GT about a month ago. Well, I knew that it would need some work. Especially cleaning up. Some things that happened, was basically cleaning up the engine compartment, replacing the thermostat, brand new spark plugs, K&N filter, new hoses, just general things like that. Pulling out a dent etc... All was well. Then I was driving down the road one night when all of a sudden the car stalls WHILE I am driving and then randomly starts up again 1-2 seconds after. So I'm thinking, maybe it's something electrical? Right? WRONG. Took it to my brothers shop and tested the fuel pressure. Found out I needed a new fuel pump and filter. Well, we replaced the filter, and she drove smooth for the first DAY. Then, on top of the fuel issues, I found out my rear axel seal was leaking. Took her to the shop, cost me over $300. Got her home, drove her to class she did awesome. On the way home, things just weren't right. To cut this short, she died this morning and won't even turn over. So needless to say I need to replace the fuel pump. Granted used cars aren't perfect, but now all the money I put away to buy a winter beater is gone... 
ugh... I can't wait to get her running again. Hopefully the part comes in on Monday as it is supposed to and we can get some things squared away. Well, that's my story. My stang is currently in a coma, and I a miserable without it~!
