youll have that ....just add in that little extra when ur doin a upgrade that way ur not supprised...i got that supprise when i put new gears in my car and ended up having to buy new axles too cuz they were startin to wear at the bearings so ya sh*t happens and it just makes u love the car that much more when ur done.

I love my car and the only thing I hate about it is all the surface rust on the bottom from sittin in a field for a few years and that I don't have the money I need to do what I want. But I have a 7 month old baby girl and I am gettin ready to buy a house and 2 other cars I have payments on so yea.

I have a love hate relationship with my wife alot more!But hey I get over it lol.

TRUE love is unconditional lol. Cant say i've ever gotten to the point where i've hated it but just like a woman, sometimes i'd love to beat it's *** but dont. I do get aggravated at time's. I know what your saying though. Sometimes something simple can turn into a disaster and give you a big f*cking headache. It's actually the little **** that gives me more problems than the major stuff.

dont worry about it it happens to every one thats cars for you crap breaks you go to fix it and more crap is broken or it says bolt on but you need like major tools and or have to bend and move stuff to make it work. only simple thing on cars is putting gas in and driving em

Yup, my 83 has been a headache but thats because of lack of funds. Slowly but surly though. The only real headache I am having with mine is on the timing. If runs decent for being as rich as it is but as soon as I hook up the vac advance it starts popping and surging. Right now I just left it unhooked lol its not like its going anywhere except by my 2 feet in and out of my garage . I am supposed to pick up another tranny tomorrow so hopefully I can resolve that issue as well[8D].

yeah i've definitely been there before. I bought my mustang complete and was just going to change the power steering pump, and now my car is sitting on jack stands, completely gutted, with a roll cage getting finished up!
