Did you ever just hate your car and not be happy with it. Tonight i was workin on my car and cleaning it and installing a 4th gen radio and the car just seemed like it didnt wanna work with me and then the car started makin freaky noises. I dont know maybe because im 17 and dont have enough money to make her go ne faster or better lookin is the reason. I dont know reply back if you ever were fed up with your car.

Everything I do usually ends up being harder than expected. The onlything that has gone smooth is removing cruise control. That's about it. Talk about breaking off bolts...I just changed my distrib cap and my good friend broke off one of the 2 screws! One of my crossmember bolts isn't as tight as it should be. My old engine had a stripped thermo housing bolt because the dult (previous owner) didn't use anti seeze when installing the steet bolts into the aluminum intake manifold!!!
As for rattles.... I've invested a lot of money into my car and I'm not about to stop. I've found almost all of my rattles. Infact I don't have any rattles anymore, just squeeks from plastic interior pieces that have broken clips. Things get better, they always do and it's always worth it in the end. Talk about a crap deal: I fix my tranny mount but it's too late by about 10 miles! Cat clogged from banging around and now I'm without a jack and 540miles away from home.
