You are catching on! Truth be told, I never thought I'd own an American car. Yup, I'm one of those guys. Reliability of the domestic cars has never matched foreign counterparts, and I never thought I'd buy a performance car so comparing them that way had no bearing. But really, I am no longer stressing over this from any standpoint. I really can't wait to get it. Even trying to take care of that black paint and tan interior. |

I have no idea why wheels are so expensive. If you look at a new car, it has probably 50,000 precisely manufactured parts working in unison. And yet the "optional wheels" are 10 percent of the purchase price. I need to get into that line of business because the big money is apparently in making and selling wheels.

Just because everyone loves my car saga, I had to put more money into the Celica today. No fault of the car itself, however.
Driving down the freeway at 80 MPH and some douche in a truck, a bit up a head in the far left lane drops a ton of mud/rocks from the underside of his truck. NO ****ING MUD FLAPS! It rocket flies towards the front of my car, a car that has no bottom grill below the license plate. Yes, all celicas were made like this. Directly in that area is my AC Condensor. It clearly dents that pretty far back and cracks some of it. I take it to the mechanic in case the radiator is leaking and they tell me my radiator sits behind there and it's likely that has been hit from the AC condensor being dented so hard. However, at this time it's not leaking. So I left the car there over-night so they can diagnose in the morning. Gives me a quote, which sucks for a car I am selling. Anyway, once they disassemble, it turns out there's a shield between my AC condensor and my radiator. Only the shield was hit and the radiator was fine. It's funny but the AC in this car has NEVER been serviced. I am not sure how that's possible but getting the AC condensor fixed obviously had them recharge my whole AC which probably needed to be done anyway. So now whowever gets my car now has new AC as well! Price might go up a bit with more work being added in, however. Thanks for listening CP! |

The AC condensor was cracked and dented. So it was replaced.
Looks like this but had a huge dent/misaligned and cracked horizontal panels. About the size of a tennis ball mark. If you are talking about never servicing my AC, I find it odd that running it here for three summers that it never quit. It gets run from March through October here. And even sporadically in the winter. |

That really sucks because even if you know damn well which vehicle it came off of there's no way to prove it. I had a windshield get ****ed up a few years back from a similar situation.

Heh yes 17 sucks. Then again any of the freeways are just a construction guy who doesn't know how to secure the ladder in his truck away from wrecking our day.

I thought putting "the" in front of highway numbers was just a California thing.

What really gets me is the rock trucks that have the signs on the back that says STAY BACK 500 FEET NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE.
Uhhh...no, you should damn well be responsible for any damage from rocks coming off your truck. Secure your ****ing load or stay off the ****ing road. |

Stingrays are by far my favorite Corvettes and 74 was the last pre-smog control year when you could still get one with a 454 in it. After that they got loaded down with smog pumps and a rats nest of vacuum hoses that made for anemic engines.
