Ahh, car's been down for 3 months now and still counting.

Lets start with the minor stuff.
Driverside window motor
CME needs support rewelded
All new brakes
Paint touchup

Motor threw a rod 2 months after I got it.
New clutch

And after all this is fixed, something else is garaunteed to go wrong.

Eh, you know what they say, "If it's got wheels or ****, it's going to give you problems"

Mine's the same way too. Another time, I was doing a WOT run and the sunvisor flew off and hit me in the face. That pissed me off so much. I almost threw it out the window.

It still hasn't been fixed after a year.

Also one of the little lights that lights up the window and lock switch is out, the window tint is peeling, & I have a small dent in my passenger rear quarter panel from where someone thought they needed more room to open their door.

Mechanically my car is perfect.

Only thing I noticed with mine was I think one of the PS lines were leaking I cleaned it all up and havnt seen anymore oil yet tho. I also noticed my lights flickered a little a few times at idle prob didnt help if ps fluid got on the alternator tho. I think some people just have bad luck and all cars can have their problems. I am not the first owner either so you never know what happens with the previous owner and I take very very good care of my cars.

Nothing wrong with my GTO other than it being really dirty...

The Formula is solid, too. About the only thing I'd say it "needs" is more power mods, and stupid **** like a clip or a faster here and there. I spent 3 years going over it, so it's pretty clean right now.

Trans Am has plenty... clutch and fuel pump are toast right now, but I have the new parts and I'm gonna fix it this week... also needs driver's side turn signals front and rear, t-top seals, a new driver's seat cover, and the paint really could use a refresh.

FIXED:
1. Drivers Side window motor
2. Rewired Front turn signals (bad sockets)
3. Steering Wheel controls ($20/eBay)

It NEEDS:
1. Rear suspension upgrade, got BAD wheel hop in the back.
2. Oil Change (stupid light)
3. I've got an intermittent P0135 code being thrown out, O2 sensor on the way

Not one thing wrong in over 5 years now.

Nothing like buying a brand new car and taking good care of it from 000035 miles on the clock.

i got a 2000 ss from a wreck auction, yes i know it was wrecked, but i bought a cowl hood, some headlights and a windsheild and its ready for paint. i got to get a airbag for the passenger side, i got the dash cover from GM. i think it was a good deal for 2100. ive only spent 800 on parts. i got the ls1 thats in the car, plus i bought one for 300 dollars, with only 12000 miles, no lie
