So after a couple weeks of fucking around with it, I finally got my car back.
I had a problem with it stalling and eventually I heard a lovely knocking noise. Seemed as though the Supercharger was out. =/
Well come about half a week later, new supercharger! Yeah well turns out the supercharger WASN'T the problem and the motor was just plain out...
So 2 weeks and 900+ in lovely green USD, I finally have my car back.

Oh and my friend put his school books on his roof and drove off... smart guy lemme tell ya...

What kinda car?

It better be a muscle car. That's the only place a supercharger belongs.

I wish. =/
No, its a black 98 Grand Prix GTP Supercharged Coupe.
So supercharger is factory. ;)
Although its been modded a bit. It sits lower and has a computer modification.

Although I seen a beat up, but nice little 70-something Cutlass for sale. Interior is clean, leather, well-kept.
You get some of that rust off and get a fresh coat of paint...

You heard engine knocking and you seriously thought it was your supercharger? :S That's gotta suck buying a new one for no reason, but at least that won't go bad for a while now. Do you know now what the affected area was exactly? I'm curious myself.

By the way, I like that car you have. For some reason I can really appreciate performance editions of the regular cars you see driving around every day. Makes things interesting to have family sedans beating the average old Mustang, but most kids only care about having something flashy.

And Luke... superchargers belong EVERYWHERE! :D

From what they told me, it was the bottom end.
Apparently there was an oil leak and it dripped into the antifreeze.
And as far as the guessing what was wrong, we started it up and felt the supercharger giving off the majority of the rattle. Besides the supercharger was only 200 for a good used one.

But yeah, we're going to run it around a little while, hopefully it should last me a few good years.

And I know what you mean, the majority of kids at my school drive one of a few things. A Grand AM, a Mustang, a Camaro, an Eclipse, or a pickup truck... I don't understand the huge obsession with pick-up trucks around here. I question if most these kids have their name on their underwear too. @.@

Hey, I own a pickup truck... on jack stands... in my garage... with the front end and engine all torn apart. And I'm not wearing my personalized undies ATM. :'(

Project cars FTW.

just around here. i mean, i SWEAR they come into a car lot, pass up ALL the sports cars, and ask you how much the shitty 1995 pick up truck in the corner costs.
