finally car breaks down and it's a good thing

well technically it's not broken down. I dropped my car off at my usual shop to have some work done, because i knew something wasn't right, i figured i was missing on a cylinder.

turns out, i had 0 pressure in 2 of my 6 cylinders.

at first I was pissed, but then one of my co-workers who's really into working on cars told me about a website, http://www.car-parts.com where you can search for any part for any car, and they'll tell you who's selling them nearby

so I go on and look, and I found the same engine for my car, 3.0L V6 Turbo with half as many miles as mine for $650 2 miles away from my house with only 89k miles on it. I called the guy selling and he said it is in working condition and he had all the tests done on it and has the papers to show.

now I can't wait to go pick it up, slap a bigger turbo on it since it will be a lot easier out of the car, and drop that shit into my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then smoke all the little rich kids by me with mustangs even worse

Mustangs > you.

haven't been beat by a mustang yet(stock and 5.0s) don't think i'm going to be anytime soon.

i would be wondering why you lost compression in 2 cylinders? so i could try to avoid it happening again.

i bought the car like that, it wasn't my fault.

piston rings went bad is my guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
