It's Friday and I'm bored

but I'm also surprised it was enough to ruffle the feathers of someone rich enough to buy the car in the first place (as like his seventh vehicle, i did read that far).

You're suprised a $57,000 bill ruffled his feathers? Even for a wealthy person that is fucking outrageous for an engine rebuild for a street car.

I'll go a step further and say it's flat out irresponsible to buy a car like that when you have a family (and obviously already a problem with buying cars) unless you research worst case scenario repairs costs and can write those checks without thinking twice. The fact that he and his wife had to sit down and talk about their options means that you had no business taking a flier on a car like that in the first place.

Don't go and buy a lift and throw your truck-wrenching knowledge and more money at it over the next six months. You do what dudebro just did on this forum: stop by the nearest Carmax, take whatever butt rape check they're willing to give you for it and drive one of the other cars you already have until you financially recover. Or go buy a Prius or something, nobody needs a 500hp minivan
