Overwhelming Decisions

As support has poured in from the readers of Star Cross'd Destiny, we're faced with the decisions of what direction to take Rally in. We're likely going to go with a new engine that has a warranty simply because I cannot go through this again. This is the third time - and it's gotta be the last time.

Many people have offered to send down engines that need rebuilding or even build an engine for us - it's just amazing. In the end, we might either go with one of our readers and friend, Andy, who might build us an engine and give us a warranty or we may go with our local mechanic, Rob, who's seemingly taken to Rally. I'm likely to just toss this old one out the window or sell it for scrap or refurbishing - it's just all sorts of bad juju with the not being properly machined, the leaking, and the lack of power. And with no warranty it's almost like tossing money to the wind if I were to try and continue on with it. While it'll be more expensive to go new (and not remanufactured) it'll offer loads and loads of peace of mind that I wouldn't get otherwise. What's the point in taking a joy ride if you're staring down at gauges every five seconds to make sure you didn't lose a seal or pop a heater hose? I'd like to be able to rely on her if I had to. And I'd love to take her back to the track someday - not to run head to head - but just bracket race again. It's where her heart is.
