Camaro Trouble

I have had it up to here with the car, she's now knocking when hot there's oil and coolant in her but not mixed together. She diesels when I shut her off. Plus I need something newer and more reliable with a/c. I anyone can led me a hand fixing it. or I can sell her for $1500.

Re: Camaro Trouble
