    This thing, I liked it but it was a POS. I bought it for $700 covered inside and out in filth, trans ground 3rd, ac inop, power seats inop, broken sunroof, worn out suspension, permanent check engine light and leaked oil. I fixed most of the issues and cleaned it up but it ate batteries and left me stranded at the airport at midnight with the wife and 1 year old. I sold it before I moved back to TX.

Now my 98z28 is the love of my life, but fuck this green car. Blown trans, blown headgasket, bad fuel pump assembly, bad 02's, cracked intake manifold, chattering rear end, seized ac compressor, paint bubbling, taillights have lost reflectivity inside, currently waiting to see if its going to spin a bearing



    Also I fucking hate Dsm's and I have owned 5 of them. Will never ever ever own one again. The white one was cammed with a built trans and a 16g and nearly caught fire on the drive home from buying it. It was a basket case, literally the only thing good about it was that it made 260whp every other piece of the car was garbage. Couldn't idle right, which means the trans could t get into gear correctly, leaked oil everywhere including onto the down pipe causing it to smoke horrendously. The silver one snapped a timing belt after a month of owning it, had extremely low miles and it was cheap, had everything replaced by mitsu and the new timing belt tensioner failed so they replaced everything for free again. The other 3 Dsm's all had similar stories
    Ben? Sounds like my Firehawk....I pretty much had it after the glue that held the fiberglass together started to fail....and the oil pump failed (at 90k)

They take like 262 ft-lbs to tighten properly if memory serves so they are a bitch to remove.
    I did the testing procedure from the Nissan FSM and narrowed it down to the BCM. I went to the junkyard and got 3 different units and I get the same issue, no power from the BCM to the mode door motor. The actuator works fine because I have seen it move before and the wiring is fine.

    I have seen some axle nuts that were tight before, but nothing like this. My husky 750ftlbs 1/2" drive couldn't do it. Had to go buy a 3/4" drive 1500ftlbs impact and it still took heating it with a torch to break it loose. The transmission was easy, but the climate control has been handing me my ass.

I have changed the transmission on it, which required the purchase of a $300 impact gun because someone cranked the living dog shit out of the CV shaft nut. I broke two 1/2" breaker bars trying to get it off. The radio doesn't work right and now I am having to fix the A/C system....

    Of the cars I have paid for I look forward to the day I don't own my 79 Trans Am anymore.

    Mine was a 85 tercel. Fuel pump leaked no matter what I did. New. Off brand. Facory. It finally caught fire while in traffic one day.

    Is was ecstatic. The cop and firemen couldn't understand why I was so happy. Didn't bother me at all.

    Yeah she got a lil banged up but fine for the most part. He had a choice. His truck or his camaro. The truck was his favorite. They put all they had into buying their house plus paying off debt and was broke. She wanted to furnish the house with new stuff.

    He just started working at my company not long before he sold it. I was looking at it. Told me if you didn't get it that weekend he'd sell it to me for 5k even. Buuut you showed up lol. Was ok Cus my wife wasn't too happy I was planning on buying it.

    Good kid. I've had a few beers with the guy. He was excited to get the gto with the money from the accident. Red. 5.7 with 70k on the clock. I looked hard to find something wrong but other than a few paint chips it's perfect.

    My least favorite was my 89 formula firebird with a 305/auto. I'll sound spoiled here, but I was, and my dad worked like 80 hours a week and that was just his way of making up for it. I wanted a mustang gt of the same year with the 5.0. Well, the insurance was too damn high on the gt. This was in 96 and I'll be damned if my dad didn't show up in a formula after I said I'd rather just have a truck if no GT. I totaled in less than two months of driving.

    The only vehicle accidents I've had were both in a red car, both single car collisions, and both totaled the car. The vehicle I had the most problems with was also red. I'll never own another, which sucks because I kind of like red.

    If that's the same car. Looks like his. From Saginaw?

    He's in a gto now.

    93 pontiac grand am with a quad. Biggest pyle of shit I have had the misfortune to drive. I even put a head gasket on it, and after that wonderful experience I will never own one again even if it was given to me.
