This sucks.... Well I got my 94 Firebird as a daily driver so I wouldn't have to drive my teg very much. Anyway, the exhaust had a leak in it and blew out on the way home. I have a friend that does welding so he did that for $30 which should last me a good few months and then I'm going to replace the whole exhaust system down there. But, on the way home smoke started coming out of the right side down low. So I parked to the side of the road, all said and done, my rear freeze plug either rotted(we're not sure) or just popped out because its a safety feature. So I'm paying about $250(which isn't that bad considering my mechanic has to take out the transmission and its heavy lifting) and I'm getting all the plugs and hoses replaced down there, along with all the fluids changed(because they had un-God-Like colors to them) Transmission fluid was a dark brown almost black..

Only good thing that came out of this, its a 1200 dollar car, so I'm not too worried if I have to spend a little money to get it up and running. But now the cars in the shop for a week which sucks. Mechanic says everything else is perfect for her age and he's going to replace anything he see's that could be a problem in the future. Thoughts?

Yup, nothing but headaches. But I got it for 1200, and the body is in near perfect condition with the exception of the paint being faded. And its just a DD. So I figure if I can get it in good, reliable, working order and only need to spend in all(including price of car) around 2,000. Thats still a reasonable deal. But it sounded awesome without an exhaust, got alot of looks from people that probably thought I had something really big under the hood. Haha.
If you're anywhere near me and your motor does give up on you, I've got a complete drop out 3.8 with computer and 4l60e, with all accessories, etc. etc.. local pick up only though, which is a long shot I know, but figured I'd throw it out there..
