Default It's official, diablo is good as gone

Saturday they are coming to take Diablo away. So to prepare for it I have put new tires on the mini van, I put new air shocks old ones were leaking, it was the shock, not just the line. I ordered from rock auto all the ignition parts and some spare filters. I will get my o2 sensors next week and my windshiel then register it out here (still has California plates). I went over the budget and I can afford to keep Diablo, but with the price of fuel, payment, and insurance. I can use that money somewhere else and that would also put a little less stress on my marriage which might help to preserve it. When we pay off the Fj, I will get something else, until then I will sport the mini van and am planning on getting a older used jeep for 4 wheeling and shooting. I dont want more than one car payment at a time ever again.

Everything goes at some point, unless you are Jay Leno or Reggie Jackson.

My first car was a 68 Mustang that I restored. I kept it for 17 years, but in the end it was taking up space and not being used.

Its cool, I am actually alright with it. I originally wanted a dually anyways, and when I have some extra cash I will get my dually. That is unless jake wants to donate his to the Diablo needs a Dually foundation.

Hey Jimmy, sorry to see you have to get rid of Diablo, which I always thought of as my Arizona Twin. Thanks again for the good deal on the fold-flat load floors a while back. I'm sure you'll get something even better down the road.
