Having to Get A New Starfighter...

[mcgregorkenobi]

Well, the Starfighter that I had been working on decided this weekend that it no longer liked the transmission it had, so it froze it up... and completely and totally ruined it...

After we got her towed to the dealer, and getting her fully checked out, other damage was discovered (apparently from the accident)...and looking at her milage, damages, cost factors, etc...it was decided that she would be retired. (Basically, she was my main form of transporation... I really needed something dependable).

So, I got to spend the weekend looking at new ships...the result now being the proud owner of a new Jeep Wrangler 4-door Hardtop. Silver with black trim, bumpers, etc.. AND that also means new designs for what she will finally end up looking like as a Starfighter..(Shawn is gonna have my Jedi Butt over this... I know it..He was designing the other one..)


So, starting over from the beginning with a new vehicle...and looking at a different type of design and STILL wanting to get enough done to have her at least as a work in progress at CIV...

I'm sorry to hear about the loss and I hope everything works out to get a new RS carfighter.

Thanks Dragonlordist....The jeep will have a whole different look...not as "trashed from battle" look as the starfighter was going to have...but probably something a bit more..."civilized" LOL

Well, onward and upward. (But the new ship is an awsome ride!)

*Bump* As the result of a handshake today, there will be a new Carfighter soon. (And I need to let ObiShawn know LOL)

Yes, I still have my beloved Jeep Wrangler (Boga), but nothing "looks-wise" really fit her (even though my fellow TIE Pilots in the 501st are pushing for a TIE Fighter theme...)

But I finally have what will be my Jedi Starfighter...

Rising gas prices have got me to look for something more in the better milage, commuter type of car and I stumbled upon a
1989 Chevy Cavalier Convertable And she's already red..

Completely rebuilt engine, new transmission, struts, shocks, top, etc...Original owner..and ready to start her conversion to her new life. Never been in a wreck, (except for one minor dent on the right back finder where a truck tire flew off and hit her..but that is it)..and nice faded paintjob, just BEGGING to be "altered". LOL

Plus, she's a little "screamer" That girl can pick em up and put em down... ;D I'm supposed to be picking her up either Tues or Wed... So, it's been a while...but now, I'm back in commission

Once I get her home I'll post some pics
