| Work : Edmonton Rainy Day Work |

For a Sunday job there isn't much happening today. The rain hit hard accompanied by severe lightning strikes. I stood by the doorway expecting hail.
Well prepared with three king size blankets to protect my new to me automobile that I purchased from Sundance Mazda. What did I purchase? I found a really nice Red Coupe to replace the one I retireed.
The car in question is a 2004 Grand Am GT. I like it already. Actually I liked it the second I saw it online at www.SundanceMazda.com
I quickly cancelled my purchase of a 2004 RX-8 over at Derrick Dodge. They were way to high on the price anyhow plus I didn't want the lousy milage and the constant maintenance accompanied by that particular make of sports car.
Otherwise the preceding two days were hell. I mean for a 38 year old guy to have to start pushing standard vehicles around when they stall and won't start gets to be a bit ridiculous. It was my backup summer car. A 95 Ford Escort GT.
I had parked it with new timing belt, tires and brakes and was all set to replace the struts if she would have been agreeable to running decently. I ended up only putting a new battery into her to get her to run after sitting for a year or so.
Turned the ignition and she fired over right away. I drove off to the car wash and around town some with it. Suddenly it just drops power over by Axe Music. Bummer I thought. Perhaps I don't have a good runner and maybe I should go back to my 93 sunbird with lousy air conditioning.
Not the case. Too darn hot to drive without air conditioning. So I kept trying to believe that the Ford would work better. I put gas line antifreeze into it because I thought that there could have been some moisture in the tank. It ran good and I forgot how fun it was to drive. It actually would go faster than my Sunbird if I pushed it.
Finally after putting the Ford through due dilligence most of the night the darn thing dies again this time down town Edmonton. Scary place too but I have no fear. I also had my Haynes Repair manual so that kept me occupied until daylight arrived. I went though as much as the electrical system as I could without a test light.
Still in the end I had to call Cliff's Towing and have the darn thing towed back to my place. It could be something as simple as a fuel pump or perhaps it needs some injector work. Either way I ended up having to spend a few thousand over ten to get my new ride.
It will have no problems navigating the roads to work and back in the Winter. Whereas the RX-8 I was just about going to purchase would have been very impractical. All around I believe I made a great purchase and would highly recommend Sundance Mazda for premium used vehicle purchases. My 2004 Grand Am GT has a touch over 80,000 Km on it and I feel so much better about making a vehicle purchase that was right for me. They even took my old Sunbird off my hands thankfully.
Note: Gone for supper as per usual at the Buffet Royal on Fort Road. I'll be sitting in the lounge watching the big screen. Hope there is a good movie on. |
