I swear mine is,my camaro has a 2 week curse..if i dont touch it for 2 weeks something will be broke on it when i do touch it the next time no matter what..yes you say how can some **** break when its just sitting and was fine before..its a good question and if you figure it out let me know because im wondering the same ****..

black bitch part 2 = 2
me = 0

And yes my cars name is black bitch part 2..seeing my first 4th gen car was a nasty lil black bitch that was a pain in my dick..so of course though since i named this one bb part 2 shes been the lil evil step sister of my old one..lol

 

I have cursed transmissions or should I say I'm cursing at the transmissions I have bought from MONSTER TRANSMISSION. 2 preformance transmission in 2 years. Only had 500 miles on the first and 2000 on the second and mine is only a stret car. lol insain. Yup if I don't touch mine **** breaks when I need it. lol

 

^ you need to run a th350 if you aint..you lose a gear but you drop 40 pounds,,

 

I've got a curse with every vehicle I've ever owned. the list goes on forever so I'll just cover my '96 z, course it doesn't help I enjoy(some say abusively?) all my vehicles
-second season of owning it I had to get the tranny rebuilt since the reverse synchro and gear was shot which was def due to the previous owner since I know better than abusing it in reverse. I also got the parts to refresh my centerforce which was clapped out but the shop that was taking out and re-installing the tranny(I was too busy fishing) played ignorant and went ahead and threw in a stock clutch which ran me an extra $500!!!!

-summer after that I snapped the tq arm in half matting the gas in 1st blowing the rear seal on the tranny. I had to go fishing in a few hours from then so I just had it towed to a mechanic I had trusted and just told him I F**ked up somin. I got in a few days later find out he went ahead and replaced the tq arm with another stocker. total bill for that was $1200

-the next summer I had to redo my exhaust after pulverizing a stock engine mount which made 2 exhaust hangers let go too. the primaries were leaking so I got new used mids off here. my borla needed welding around the muffler and y section. the cat was also junk so I told the exhaust shop to clamp a cheap one on and give me a piece of pipe I could throw on since they couldn't legally. get in from fishing and find out they threw on a random tech cat

-summer after that the rear of the intake mani started leaking on me worst part was I was told it was the rear main when I had the trans & rear end fluids changed and I took the mechanics word for it instead of confirming the location personally.
it didn't get really bad till last summer which wasn't a very good year for me fishing wise. I was still busy tho and didn't want to spend my occasional day off working on it and not driving it so I brought it to that same mechanic to fix the leak and put the centerforce back in. but after wards he realized it was the intake mani, another waste of $600
I figured I've got to do somin more than just swap gaskets if I the intake is going to come off and didn't want to spend that kind of money at a shop, never mind trying some one actually qualified to work on it around here. so I scraped up enough to cam it and threw the imp HG's on w/ the spare heads I had to get ported that were fully assembled w/ low mile springs and larger valves and so I sacrificed all sorts of driving time wrenchin on it

unfortunately tho I think I've spent more on traffic citations than all the repairs and mods put together

 

^you need to put you car up every summer it sounds like.

i was just out looking at my car and the rad is holding water so now i got to figure out why it decided to puke about a gal of fluid out from just ideling today..i started it earlier after it did it about 20 mins later to try and find the leak and it didnt leak..i didnt just run the car now but least i know i didnt split or get a hole in my rad..hoses aint leaking.

damn fans blew fluid every where so i couldnt track down the leak at first..funny part is my temp gauge said 240 and the water that leaked was cold..so im thinking upper hose or so..

 

My cars drive better the longer they sit.

 

knock on wood my car has been acting good here lately but before that

Bad ICM
Bad Battery
3 Bad Optis
Exploded the Opti Rotor
Blew the radiator fan fuse (Found a little bit of bare wire??)
Burnt 2 plug wires
Blew a hole in the Fuel pressure reg diaphragm
Bad starter
Broke oil pump drive shaft with 1800 miles on the motor had to do a complete rebuild
Bad Knock Sensor
5 bent valves

I know how you feel........

 

I'm not allowed to talk about it, she will hear...

 

lol pretty much! I've gotten 2 maintenance free seasons out of it. I KNOW my rear is going to go on me this season. its been on its way out for 3 seaons now, and this year I'm cammed. and now that I think about it I'm def going to hold off on throwin my LE2's on until next fall or winter. my income has dropped quite a bit since I've got to take some time off from fishin to let my back mend.

But other than for mechanics throwing parts I didn't want on my car I'm not complaining cause like I said I enjoy the **** outta my car its just my previous, well and present DD' history of **** breaking/dieing on me that has me convinced I'm cursed.

 

wow thats bad luck for sure..man i hope you beat her good for a bit once it was all fixed..

 

ahh i got you..luckly i do all my own work but in a way thats bad because i go well **** if i got to do this and remove that part ill just replace that with this parts..

my current car has gone like this..i got ac delete pulley and then said ill get headers since i got to get in there when removing the hvac,a.i.r an egr stuff so along came headers,bullets and plugs..i had to wait for my plugs and in the 2 week down time my opti took a crap on me..so then i put off the header,a/c and all the parts install till i got a opti.well 2 weeks later opti comes sweet..then i picked up gears seeing the car was down,then a stall,th350 core,shifter,, 2 weeks after that came rockers,ls6 springs,guide plates,studs,retainers..now this week is 6al coil and harness,csr pump and now im going to swap to running the car 93 speed density which ill send the cash out monday.. i just keep pushing the installs back because i would rather do all the **** at once..lol

 

yeah I like to do my own work too but when things break on me over the summer I'm usually fishing 6-7days a week. actually the year I re-did my exhaust we had a stretch of 38 days w/ out a day off & only 38hrs on land, usually only get 4-5hrs of sleep a day workin the rest of the day, total robot zombie mode
I'll have plenty of time on my hands this summer tho

 

Got my 95Z in 07, started drivin it in 08, got the car damn near for free. was abandoned and towed by my buddies shop. he says hey you want it? I say....DUH! so file for rebuild title and all that jazz....badabing free z28! OR SO I THOUGHT!!
Drove the hell out of it for 5 4 months...then it starts....
ignition control module
ignition
starter
radiator...3 times

Then i did, headers, exhaust, k&n cold air intake and strut tower brace.
bought subframe connectors...need to be welded in...

THEN.....
clutch
brakes
whole front suspension
ground wire
coolant level sensor

approx. $4800 later....IVE PAID FOR THE CAR!......i can't win

 

lol hahah i paid 1500$ for mine..i was looking for a good 4th or 3rd gen chassis to use and then i found my car that was only a few hundo more then what v6s are going for so i said f it ill play with the lt1 while i build my turbo engine an stuff..now i got over 2k in parts just for the dang lt1 combo but i figure no biggie because once i pull my lt1,the th350 trans im building for the lt1 and swap to the lsx an glide ill have a decent motor i can rebuild and slap 200 shot on her and put it in a mud truck or something..lol
