Move to Arizona, it's pretty much just fucking hot all the time. No seasons, hardly ever rains.

If you want to keep it clean, don't drive it.

Good point Jim, and with black or dark cars makes it even harder to keep clean.

Get a daily driver, find a garage and put your car inside a bubble inside the garage, problem solved.

I have replaced half the engine bay, I have it running pretty damn good now

**JoshieDoom** · 03-26-2008, 10:45 PM

hahah i read that you replaced like all of the AC and everything.. lol. but you knew you were buying a lemon. I want to drive my truck buttttt it gets about 12mpg average.. i need to rivet in the floorpants, get a new steering column and buy 25 gallons of seafoam for it.. one of the last times i drove it i busted out the damn wing window..Im thinking of throwing a 50 buck paint job on it and driving it when the weather calls for storms..

but.. there goes about 200 bucks more i cant spend on my car

....

**Y2KPewterSS** · 03-26-2008, 10:47 PM

I have replaced all the belt driven accessories and all the timing components and other odds and ends. I didn't know I was getting a lemon, I got hosed on the deal. Paid 2k for the car, have put another 1k in parts into it. Car itself is in really good shape, and seems to be healthy now, finally!

Last 2 tanks of gas have gotten me over 300 miles, most of it city driving. I changed the worn out plugs today too, so hopefully it will get a little better

**JoshieDoom** · 03-26-2008, 10:53 PM

I overpaid on my car hardcore.. but i had proof on the labor and oil changes.. and i knew the guy personally...

Ditto, know the guy and he gave me receipts for all the basic upkeep. I thought it was a safe deal, but turned out to eat me alive

What sucks is the first owner(im the third.. I think) painted just the bumper and drivers fender/door.

I still dont know what causes this tho................
