OK, let's see. I got my car and within six months I replaced the clutch, flywheel, tranny, shifter, engine, paint, door and t-top seals, and I put a stereo in. My stereo and tools got stolen out of my car, so I lost two grand there and had to replace it all. My brand new tranny is junk, so I got another one. TODAY my exhaust bolts came out and I was running with an open header on the passenger side. (It did sound pretty neat when I got on it though!:D ) I also broke a battery terminal trying to get it off to clean it (today). For some reason my car alarm has quit working within the last week. My brand new engine has blown oil out of the breathers since day one. (I didn't know the oil returns needed opened up with a high volume pump.:rolleyes: ) My rearend howls and my Rottweiler has scratched the paint on my hood.

On some rare occasions, you'll get a trouble-free car that runs forever with little to fix but that's an exception, not the norm at all, no matter the make.
My '89 Bronco has been a dream so far. It has 147k on it, and all I've done to it is replace the u-joints, thermostat, heater core, brakes, and tires. Thats it.

Wasn't being literal there with the pity comment. Just expressing that we all have our bad moments with our cars, as can be seen by reading down the Windsor Power forum.

Things cost money people, parts break, parts cost money too. It happens, it's life.
