Default Everyone was right about me getting an SS

That I would dog it around and crash it. I have crashed it twice with the first repair costing 6k to replace powersteering and a panel. Second time someone stoped real fast and I cracked my hood. Didn't look bad but all the bodyshops want 4k to repair

My car has been sitting forever. Has cob webs inside...

+1. Or grow up a little and don't "dog it around and crash it". If you knew you were going to drive the car like that, why would you buy one you couldn't afford to fix once you broke it? I hate to sound like a dick but it sounds like this was mostly your own fault.

AKA you were following too closely and/or not paying attention.

Well that really blows. You should treat the car right and it will treat you right.

Well at least your man enough to admit it, sell it to someone who will take care of it and buy a shitbox.

I have no idea how people find those deals I keep looking out for them and never see an LS1 powered fbody going for less than 7000 around here and that is for one with higher miles.

To be honest if my 3800 would stop throwing bearings and breaking stuff I'd be happy I think my car is just possessed.
