hoopty

well, after many days of back and forth between all parties, hoopty will pull through since his frame is not bent. he is getting a new engine, some new support beam things, and his muffler is getting fixed.

of course this is after pretty much everyone involved told me he would be totalled so i was looking at new, awesome cars. alas, this is better for now.

he will now be called bionic hoopty.

did you ask how much it would cost to get a titanium outer shell and bulletproof glass?

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
no, i already am paying 1000 dollars for this whole thing.

plus the muffler issue and if i got to the junkyard to get a new front end (since he needs it) and a new hood. sigh.

titanium & bulletproof glass?

For that price, she should get it modified so it can
transform into a dancing robot!

I was trying to think of a clever alternate name for Bionic Hoopty, but I can't think of anything better.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
exactly, sometimes obviously clever wins the day.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
um... you did name him hoopty.

[identity profile] f-o-n-y.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
right, but now that he's bionic, he needs a superspectacular name.... like chad.

[identity profile] sacramentalist.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Chad is the WORST NAME EVER.

What about Gord?

[identity profile] sacramentalist.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No, Pumpkin. Gord. Or maybe Bruce.

[identity profile] f-o-n-y.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
omg. bruce is DEFINITELY the best name ever.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
it is going to be bionic hoopty.

Of course we'll need to see a picture of him all shiny and new again :P

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2005-06-28 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
