First off, this isn't a flame, nor am I trying to **** anyone off...

That said, I don't have a water leak, I just drove through a damn hurricane for fourty minutes, inspected the right side panel, dry as a bone.

I don't have bubbling paint under the hood.

My sparkplugs didn't break when I removed them. Came out easily. Replaced with Champion 7989's and it runs GREAT.

My gas guage works perfectly, and I can fill up without the nozzle clicking off a hundred times.

My front end doesn't click or do anything abnormal when turning or any other time.

My trunk doesn't leak.

My Shaker 1000 works great, no problems.


So am I just lucky, or are there other's out there who have had a pretty good experience with their cars? I'm just pretty tickled right now, and although I am not going to go to some of the extreme lengths some of you guys have to improve performance (cough-supercharger-cough-cough), I am going to try and get a little more out of it. But I do enjoy reading about the guys here who have done some pretty amazing things to their cars.

 

Yeah you're lucky.

My car has the driver side door rattle and an annoying ticking rattle that comes out of the rear parcel shelf area.

 

No worrries here..

 

I don't have the water leak
My hoods fine
When I got my headers install, the install took them out and added ant-siege to I don't think I'll have a problem.
gas gauge and pumps work, unless I use a broken one
near heard my click
trunk dry as a bone
my shaker 500, every once in a while will skip but oh well

 

well now you're going to have 3 problems in a row

thats karma for you

but yeah, i havent really had alot of manufacturer problems, just 2 minor ones

 

I'm lucky, too. I have a little front end thunk, but it's not enough to really bother me.

 

go buy a lottery ticket

 

yeah, I was worried about posting my good fortunes, but seems that the negatives get posted a lot more than the positives. Some of the stuff I have read scared the crap out of me, but luckily I haven't found a problem yet.

 

so did your car come with the new strut mounts?
does your shaker load mp3s slow?

i have no leaking/gas problems either and im pretty sure the spark plugs aren't supposed to be replaced until 100k so i dont know why everyone is doing it so early

 

hmmm, new strut mounts? not sure. Didn't know they had changed the design. As far as the shaker loading mp3's slow, this is the first car I have ever had that plays mp3's, so don't have anything to compare it to. But seems acceptable to me.

But you really ought to research the spark plug issue (if you already haven't) unless you are going to trade the car in before it has some miles on it. My car has 6,500 miles and one of them was fairly tight.
