Cordell Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm sorry Tyler, I can't imagine because I'm pretty close to my Dad too. My family sends their best, and let us know if there is anything we can do. May he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 and i know my dad wouldnt want me to give up my car to keep his around....ide like to fix it up and leave it how it is... put a smaller pulley on it and drop the boost down... get it tuned...get the temp gauge working....repaint the hatch....then just have it as a cruiser, maybe take it out sometimes in rememberance of him... i just dont know what my options are...for the mean time im going to put it at my grandmas house in the driveway....its one of the last things on my mind right now though really.... i dont even want to think about where im going to put all his stuff...quad, bike, car, truck... i just want him back, then he can use his own stuff...

evan9381 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 you can get a storage unit for 40$/mo. shit, you could rent out one of the garages here at my complex (1/4 mile from your house) for 50$/mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe someone on here has some extra space they can hook you up with for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe someone on here has some extra space they can hook you up with for a while. i imagine my gma will let me put it in her driveway for awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 it could probably be done. i actually just happened to check because a buddy at work is looking for a place to stay (he bought a house 2 hours away in his hometown, and moving out of his appt with roommates since they're having a kid), and i told him if i can get a garage near my unit, i'd clear out the 2nd bedroom and let him stay there. she called me monday and said theres a few available down by me for that price. they have some down the street (same complex) that seem a bit wider. like 1.5 car wide.

Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 i cant imagine what your going trough. sry tyler for your loss. yea...ive got his wallet and cell phone sitting here and it hurts to even look at them....hes had the wallet for as long as i can remember, ever since i was a kid... i swapped all my stuff over to it and im going to start using it...its nice and broken in and all the stitching is still good... he was wearing his favorite sweatshirt too...they had to cut all his clothes off...ive got the stuff he was wearing hanging up to dry and im going to fold it up and put it in a box and keep it in our crawlspace...i dont want to get rid of it...i dont know what is going to happen with all his clothes and personal items...my mom is going to help me with all of that..

Guest 614Streets Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I agree on trying to keep his car around, 6 months from now being able to hop in it and take it for a sunday drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 im going to look into a storage unit for his iroc... i didnt realize they were that reasonably priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzle Juice Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe someone on here has some extra space they can hook you up with for a while. x2 im sure someone would be reasonable enough to charge u a fair price. And if theres anything u need man just ask like it was stated it doesnt hurt to cry at first i didnt and it was bad i held it in and it cost me alot i got into alot of trouble and its kinda why im a hot head now. But when i let it out it helped sooo much so crying over a loss doesnt make u any less of a man it makes you more of one! QFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 condolences man, that's really awful. as for the car, think of it this way. your car is important to you, but it may not and probably won't be your car forever. you may want to move on from it someday, but your dad's car is an important memory of him. if it comes down to your car or his, i think he'd be happy to lend his to you while you got the money together for another project.
