anyone else have REALLY bad luck with cars?

**Beemsmx6** · 6-8-08, 23:40

so latley i have had the WORST luck ever. on my 240 i did my brakes and had a hell of a time. took 2 days because of problems, rust, and broken parts. then today i was on my way home for the night. driving a little slower than the speed limit because it has just rained. then it starts POURING so bad i couldnt see even with wipers on.

then my windows fogged up and while i was going to turn the fans on i tapped a curb. then its ok i can only see when there were no headlights on me. so im driving REALLY slow now. and out of no where my exhaust decided it wanted to break off and be ricer loud. i tell ya cars hate me.

**D'sMx-6** · 6-8-08, 23:43

wow, that sucks. At least you have an excuse for a new exhaust and new rims now

**Beemsmx6** · 6-8-08, 23:46

hahah if i had money. i just started a new job and have only gotten one paycheck so far. and the payment and insurance for the car is comming up soon.... well ill have to red neck it for now. i think my rims ok tho it wasnt loud seemed to me like it was all tire.

Too bad you dont live over in Chicago. People there would be like "pfft, Mine's louder". I know, becuase when I bought my car in Ohio, my exhaust fell off at the tollway right outside of chicago, on my way home to WI. Not a single person turned their head to see what was making all the racket, lol

**Beemsmx6** · 6-8-08, 23:49

hahah, i just hope a piggy doesnt chase me down because of it. i have yet to get pulled over and i dont want it to be for something dumb

**D'sMx-6** · 6-8-08, 23:51

Can't you weld the exhaust back together for the time being?

**Beemsmx6** · 6-8-08, 23:56

if i could weld or had a welder or knew someone who has/could i would haha. so some pipe and exhaust clamps will have to do. im about to go check it out with a flash light if its still not raining

**D'sMx-6** · 6-9-08, 0:01

Yeah, it's still raining here too. My basement was flooded.

**Beemsmx6** · 6-9-08, 0:08

damn, that just reminded me. i basically live in a bowl and last year it flooded so bad we had a lake outside in our parking lot and some dude was in a god damn boat... haha sorry flash back memory right there

**8user8** · 6-9-08, 0:17

**Beemsmx6** · 6-9-08, 0:19

yeah its still pouring... i want to know now!! i need a garage. well maybe i wont be working tomorrow then since i work at a car wash

**Beemsmx6** · 6-9-08, 13:18

ok well it turned out that the audi pipe that was shoved over the 6 inches of pipe after the cat was GONE. lol the muffler was still hangin on. so i went to the local car-x and they bent me up a pipe and welded it on. he did a really nice job to. my car is quiet and for once, i think its a good thing. i have never owned a car this quiet before. haha well thats one problem down. only like 8 more to go!!!

One thing I've learned about owning an older car is that it's worth it to save a bit more and buy a newer one.

That makes sense if you live where cars rust so bad parts fall off as you drive along.

That doesnt seem that bad.
