Fired because of being late one time? Your employer obviously... uh, well anyway. Throw a streetport in there and get a better job.

I feel you man, a very similar thing happenned to me 4 weeks ago (except I didn't get fired) so I know what it's like. I'm getting a newly rebuilt streetported engine in a few days and everything will be even better than before. Don't worry, it'll all work out in the end, you'll get lucky

damn dude that sucks, where do you work at man, First. I think you should find out where your boss lives and pop his tires overnight so in the morning he can be late to work and get fired hehe...other than that man, just take it easy, go find a better job and get that engine in there.

It's alright man we feel ya. November i blew my engine and i still drive my dad's truck around waiting for money for parts... its sad at first but if i have learned one thing in cars its this:
The best excuse to upgrade is when something breaks.
So get a streetport/12at/13bt and then be happy that ur old engine blew because now you have a much faster FB.

Yeah, dude. count yer blessings! My girl doesn't like my 83 gsl that much. So count what blessings you got. (She says, "when are you gonna get an FD?", though, so she's got her head in the right place. lol.)

But seriously, many condolances for your car and your job. Do some open-pipe midnight fly-by's by your (ex)boss's house when you get your next car set up. (makes me smile jes' thinkin' about it.)
