Default Doesn't it suck when...

everything on your car starts to fall apart? In the last few weeks I've had my y-pipe just break(didn't hit a dip or anything), window motor die(with the window all the way down), clutch start slipping, rear end started leaking.. and on top of the that I need an oil change and new breaks.

I'm almost at the 100K mile mark, so have to brace up for more

What sucks for me is that everything on my car is in perfect shape. Except my transmission. And of course that's the most expensive thing to fix (for me). Oh, and that stupid *** rattle which is the ONLY weird noise the car makes. I spent 4 hours trying to find it, thought I fixed it. Then did it again as I pulled out of my driveway.

I've been dealing with that pretty much ever since I got my car. If I could go just 6 months without something breaking I'd be stupid happy lol

The only reason mine is still together is because it was rebuilt about a year 1/2 ago

Guess I can't complain though cause my car hasn't given me any issues since it was cammed about 14 months ago. I usually only do the basic maintence and get to spray it once in a while.. not bad for a daily driver

140K, no problems yet...except one of the t tops rattles occasionally, and a while back when I replaced the cats and exhaust manifolds for headers, I ended up having to get the car tuned because a code kept popping up, but I don't consider that a problem. It's part of modding.
