  1. They are both falling off their hinges, and rusty along the bottom, so yes they're pretty similar.
  2. One of the few things I like about apartment living, no shoveling. but an apartment is still fail.
  3. It started slipping bad about a week before it quit, and has been acting up for a few months now.
  4. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0083.jpg It got some cheap spray paint over the summer to cover some of the ugliness. edit: don't bother trying to link pics from your album on CR.
  5. more like the locker I installed a few years back is coming apart, I own an f-body I know what pinion whine sounds like.
  6. an 88 with more rust then clean metal, and I know the manuals took atf too.
  7. Anyone interested in buying fixable stuff? Is this stuff worth much? 2002 Honda 400ex bent rim, handlebars, and flat tire. otherwise in pretty good shape for an older ATV, runs great, I just can't ride worth a shit anymore. What is this worth? 2001 Impala LS fully loaded, trany has no 3rd or 4th gear, replaced brakes, heater core, blower motor and resistor, radiator and tires within the last year. Body isn't great but no rust or big dents. What is this worth? and just in case you're wondering the S10 is worth more as scrap metal, that much I know.
  8. Yeah well I'm tired of these cars, but I do think it'd be a dumb move. I'll check that out, thanks.
  9. I thought about checking it, but its a 5 speed and the noise sounds more rear-end related.
  10. At least that's how I feel. The camaro is broken for a couple more months, the Impala decided it had enough, and now my S10 isn't working well at all. I'm not really worried about fixing the Camaro since I've gotten a job and i can't drive it right now anyway. The Impala needs a trany so if anyone knows a good place or deal I can get on a 3800 4T65e I need it. The S10 I never thought would make it this long, and its still trying. However it is having a really hard time and making some really bothersome drivetrain noises, grinding and growling. Those of you who have seen my truck know that it really isn't worth putting money in. The Impala has over 160k miles now and was used everyday on our paper routes a few years ago so I'm not really surprised there either. This is why we bought our Cobalt, but I feel like I'm about to be walking to my new job. Should I just cut my losses and go buy something else getting rid of the Impala and S10? Try to fix the Impala? Make my wife drop me off at work (don't really think that would work well)? Fuck this sucks, and I know its my own damn fault.
  11. There are more places that specialize in foreign cars then just the dealer. Just look in the phone book.
  12. Needs to be looked at with a scan tool to see what is causing the malfunction, and diagnosed from there. Not much you'll be able to do. I am kind of surprised that the car shuts off, is that just because you panic and leave the clutch out?
  13. So I finally landed at Dave Gill Chevrolet after 7 months of shit. So far the place is great, so much easier then the aftermarket bullshit I've put up with for the last few years. Anyway we need a full time lube tech. It's 40 hours a week 7-4 M-F, and every other saturday 8-1. Pay isn't great, I think its about $8.50 an hour, but the job is much easier and laid back then anywhere else I've ever been. I doubt I'll respond to this thread much so just go fill out an app and give it to Glenn Heiss the service manager if you're interested.
  14. $6.99 a qt? Advanced has 5 quarts with a filter for $28 Mobil 1 synthetic. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/content_february-2010-oilspecials___
  15. The LT1 uses a different length input shaft, but it could be changed.
  16. QFT not to mention it isn't very far from smelly ass 104 and 71, and the property value in that area can't get much lower. WTF ROAR?
  17. Cars are not like investments, at least not when they are new, they are for driving and enjoying. So I can apreciate your opinion, but I'll enjoy having something no one else has fucked up. If I was worried about getting my investment back I'd go buy some savings bonds.
  18. Yup, they think the filter sock at the bottom of the sending unit is enough.
  19. Peal it off and enjoy getting all the glue off. There are only a handful of cops around town who will bother with things like tint and other stupid shit, just pay the fine and move on.
  20. You can get cans of race fuel at Iron pony, or you can get 100 or 110 at the gas stations at Groves Rd and Hamilton Rd (both are owned by Bob Marshall of Eastland Crane/Towing). I would just avoid storing for any length of time.
  21. This. I'd bet the pump and or sludge it to blame.
  22. Shouldn't you be in school?
  23. If the reservoir got drained out before starting the car then there isn't much more to do. I wouldn't worry too much about it, it is what it is now.
  24. 1 of 16 Camaros with exact options, but obviously still a really common car. 1 of 7 Impalas with exact options, but now fits right in with the Camaro as being a broken POS.
