What did you hate about your old cars?
What did you hate about your old cars?
Well my past two cars have had things go wrong or just little frustrating things that led me to hate them. i was wondering if the same has happened to others. Im 18 and have slowly worked my way up to affording a 03 G with no issue yet!

95 oldsmobile- fuel line leak, nearly made my car blow up..
04 rsx-s comptech s/c'd -nothing really, handled great (loved the stock seats), just grew tired of the persistant 4banger sound after a while :P
03 350z track - Had a few issues with suspension components and seemed to have very premature brake pad wear for some odd reason.
02 IS300 single turbo - Was a great car and couldn't get tired of the 2JZ sound but it had a few interior issues and minor electrical problems time to time.
04 Evo VIII - Was a fun mini pocket rocket for me but at the time I really had a hard time keeping up with the insurance so it was sold a few months after I purchased it.
99 Solara TRD s/c'd - Was a very reliable car but after 185k and a blown head gasket it was time for a change.
Current 06 g35 coupe - been through 2 motors and now on my third. Interior rattles time to time and sometimes I get tired of the car but whenever I start up my car and take a look at it sitting in a parking lot, I just realize out of all the car's I have owned, it's one that is timeless to me.
I'll try and post up some pictures of them all once I dig through my multiple photobucket accounts.

91 Ducati- $500-600 tune ups every 6K

'93 Altima w/5MT. The stop and go traffic on I84 killed my left knee/leg after several years. The speed sensor in the tranny went out- no cruise control.
'97 Maxima GLE 4AT- speed sensor comes and goes. If I hit some good bumps it will come back for a while. Still alternate with the G as a DD.

There's really nothing wrong with old cars IF you don't mind laying on your cold garage floor frequently and trying to find parts that no one makes any more and finally finding them somewhere in the mid west at someone's wrecking yard....there's nothing at all wrong with old cars!

1. My dad's old car
2. Paint on spoiler and roof bubbled and peeled "due to sun exposure" It was garage kept except for the 3 years I had it.
3. Trunklid leaked water into trunk when I opened it after it rained.
4. Left headlight and right taillight filled with water when it rained.
5. Stereo display went out 3 weeks after I bought the car from my dad.
6. FWD...Nuff said
7. BODY ROLL.
15 year old girl pulled out in front of my brother when he was driving it and it was totaled. Engine was bulletproof though. And the interior plastics and fit and finish were nicer (no rattles) than my current 04 Coupe. I would never go back though!!

'98 Explorer Sport- All my power locks stopped working and I had to climb in through the rear gate. Intake manifold cracked twice in 3 years.
'04 GMC Envoy- Too many chicks and middle-aged women driving them.

The ones I've owned in the last 5 years.
93 3000GT VR-4 - electrical nightmare, had 6 months, ran about 3 of those, maybe.
01 Ford Lightning - bad gas milage but I loved it, 422 RWHP, 508 torque, never had a problem. Very reliable and strong running. Regretted selling it.
06 Subaru STi - bad gas milage, boy racer image, everyone wanted to race, loud, rough ride, expensive to insure.
04 G35 Coupe - not mod friendly, slowest car I'd owned in a long time, lots of problems but covered by warranty.
08 Jeep SRT8 - love it, gas milage is rotten (12.5) but I knew that ahead of time.
