So Much For A Road Trip

And here I though I was gonna head to Comic-Con this weekend and partake in many an event, including the game demos for the fighting games that are coming out soon -_-'
But alas, car stuffies take priority and some parts had to be bought. And since I'm not made of money, sacrifices had to be made.

At least I can get a refund on the ticket.

And if you're wondering what car stuffies I am referring to...
-Front suspension springs and struts, both heavy duty.
-Two tires to replace the ones damaged by the worn front suspension (one was completely bald and didn't have any grip)
-Distributor since it had oil and was a affecting timing
-Distributor cap, ditto
-Spark plug cables. #3 had a leak around the middle and #2 was dead so the car was working on only 2 cylinders

I still need to time the engine properly along with adjust the fuel mix which means the purchase of the bloody timing light I've been meaning to buy for the past year.
Then there's the problem of an air leak in one of the vacuum lines. As much as I hate to admit it, I may have to take it to a shop in order to find which one it is.

But that won't happen until I've exhausted every single option at my disposal :D

Oh, then there's insurance and registration to pay.

And then there's the time limit of me properly stabilizing it... the smog check.
