Whats wrong with my car.

[ledzeppac]

well of course its not gonna be magic...


BUt I have bigger issues to deal with now, knock is nothing anymore...

[sun dog]

Have you tried different spark plugs?

I don't know if you can get the GM top engine cleaner out there but it does wonders.  I have a few laying around if you want to try one PM me your address and I'll contraband you one out.

[ledzeppac]

yah... I've had MANY differenet ones in...


I'll take you up on the top engine cleaner... but hold off for now, I need to get it running again.

Sad I had to drive to school max speed was 30 mph....   I wish I could park it and get a ride

When you're thinkin' of sellin' cheap, I'm the guy to call. It's too bad you couldn't drag that bitch up to Vegas in a few weeks so that we could all get a look at it. New eyes see clear, y'know?

[ledzeppac]

yah sure... I'd lose more than 10,000 if I sold it... I can never sell it now

Only 10 G's? Hell, you're in a better spot than I and you can still drive, however slow, get out now while you still can! Hey man, as long as you've a little cash kickin' around, there's no shame in in giving up and taking it to a knowledgeable shop to get it looked at.

car 11750
Misc parts 3500
transmission that can support 950HP yet is now not shifting correctly 2700
turbo 500

gas... 4000

So in two years the car has cost me 23500... or so..

I could have bought finished car that ran 10's for the amount I put into it!

So what's the total? ^^^

I feel very lazy at the moment....

[DCEPTCN]

So what's the total? ^^^

I'd have to go home and add up EVERYTHING in the receipt book....it's an obscene amount of money to spend on a car I never drive, but I know it's still less than you've invested in yours.....then again, you can be proud of yours.

I think his computer broke. :rofl;

I know I could top that, but I'm afraid that I'd end up in
a mental treatment facility if I actually figured out what I've spent on my car....

[DCEPTCN]

You could've, but you wouldn't know anything about it.

Very good point.



BTW, since I hit "Submit" above, I've thought of like 17 other things to add to the list.....botto m line: these AREN'T wallet-friendly cars.

[Top Speed]

Dude you've got $21,520 in your damn car!!

p.s.  I can email you a spreadsheet with the above items listed in it...

I probably have more than $30k in mine.....It's a damn shame....

[DCEPTCN]

Dude you've got $21,520 in your damn car!!

By that list above? Hell, then call it an even $25,000 'cause there's a lot more I'm forgetting. That's a lot of money for a guy with a family and a mortgage, my friends.
