im tired of my car, i wish i bought an EVO IX MR or STI.

Told ya

things dont go worng with my cars... as long as i dont touch them :roll:

Mine is just a typical 10 year car with 143K miles. Shit goes wrong. It's alright though, I will pay cash money for a new daily driver at the end of the year

i want something faster... if anything ill buy a bike to curb the need for the time being. the SI will probably become a DD after i pay it off then ill get something else.

at the moment, something is wrong with my starter signal wire so i have to hotwire it all the time; need new brakes and rotors, new tires, upper ball joints, needs a tranny flush, my headlights are fogging up, IT STILL LEAKS FUCKING WATER NO MATTER WHAT I DO, clutch master cylinder is leaking, brake master cylinder is leaking, exhaust leak, carbon hood somehow cracked, tps quit working yesterday (third omni one 2 years), and my battery is on its way out. i dont want to fix any of these issues. repairs suck dick and im tired of all my money going into this thing.

get a gas powered r/c car...just awesome and less expensive to maintain than a car...*hides*

 

[jdmjim]

it's just part of owning a old car for me. i go all out then get burned out on it letting problems pile up and then have no interest in working on it. i tend to switch back and forth on my cars depending which one is easier to fix.lol but yeah paying on a motor and not being able to use it is tough man.

I've had to replace a few things on my GST to say the least. I get fucking tired of doing maintanence. Simple bullshit maintenance I've had to do that just plain sucks:

- Alternator replaced (7 fucking times!)
- Battery
- Starter
- Clutch Master Cylinder
- Clutch Slave Cylinder (twice!)
- Primary o2 Sensor
- MPD Sensor
- Engine mounts
- Turbo oil feed line (3 times!)
- Oil pan & gasket
- V/C gasket, spark plug and cam seals
- Radiator
- Radiator fans
- Thermostat

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I've left somethings out. It's practically a brand new car now lol

i know how you feel. i had a completely stock '91 GS that started having problems about 3 months after i bought it. i replaced the battery, tie rods, shocks, struts, muffler, brakes, tires, transmission, water pump, timing belt, power steering belt, thermostat, radiator, it drank about 1 quart of oil a week and smoked like no other on cold starts, and last but not least the engine needed rebuilt twice but i sold it before the second rebuild. that was all within a year. i wasnt going to dump any more money into it and for the amount of money i put into that thing, it was almost a new car minus the engine. haha. i miss it oddly enough (had immaculate interior and body) even though im still paying on a loan for the first rebuild. it never left me sit EVER...even when she decided to run on 3 cylinders, we still got home. slowly.

i think everyone has one of those cars sometime in our lives. it makes you appreciate your next car even more.

Yea man I was thinken the same thing last week like damn the Honda scene is Fun for a while but now I'm gettting tired of it. I've spent like 3 grand this year on my car and now I do construction and I'm older i've had hondaz and acuraz for the past 5 years. Tired of flooring out and breaking something and its not like it endz there AlwaYZ SOMETHING you want or need to fix. Im actually trading my car for a Truck i think its better if you have a DD on the side. I'm sure ill regret it but i'll be saving money lol and spending it on gas for a v6

 

[teggygrl08]

im tired of doing all the maintainence the previous owner never did. it's making me spend money on crap that should have been done already instead of buying stuff i really want

I can totally understand where you're coming from. For me, I just take it as part of the hobby/passion. I try to take every "problem" as a learning opportunity. Or just an excuse to make it better

Of course when you "learn" something three times over, it does get a little redundant. Part of owning and tuning an aging car.

Just always keep in mind, it is only a car, there are more important things in life. If it's no longer worth it...

 

[AcurInteg96]

so far ive replaced hub bearings, but have needed to fix cat, O2 sensors. breaks. taillight wiring, driver seat, tie rods, balljoints, tires, paint. front fender. antenna, clutch, cam seals, and i think thats it. pisses me off thinking about it.

 

[House Special]

that's what happens when you're dealing with these things. Something always goes wrong. You gotta pay to play.

 

[AcurInteg96]

well i havent even gotten to playing yet. im paying to move. haha. and money isnt growing on trees in my backyard.

 

[House Special]

mine either. but I'm saying, these things happen. Your car is 13 years old.
