Agreed. I'll play interpreter for you...

I'm a 20+ year old car that's been maligned my whole life by folks who neglected the maintenance I needed. I've had enough, and I'm not going to take it anymore. Here is my list of demands.

Do yourself and mostly the car a favor. Do not treat it like shit until you KNOW (Not think) it won't kick your wallets ass. Abuse these cars and they WILL burn your wallet to the ground.

Yeah I made that same mistake except no snow, just lack of experience and an old abused car.
Mine will be sitting till I fix everything and make it actually road worthy again.

Heh, this should be a good thread... To the OP, I like your sense of humor. I hate those damned poles that appear out of nowhere! :rofl:

Welcome to Supra ownership though sir, enjoy your stay.

Better advice could not be given.

Oh and also, don't do stupid shit and your luck will improve 10000%. If I would have stopped to think "hey, what if..." every time I got a bad idea in my head, I would be a millionaire and I'd have so much time on my hands I would probably have my own reality TV show.

I crashed my car too. But once it turned out to be good because now it gives me good reason to fix it up and upgrade it to way better condition then it ever was. I think everyone should crash their car too lol.

Brake yes....I would hope so.

Things falling apart is due to the age of the car and the abuse it's been through in the past, just as it was posted earlier. If you went through every nut, bolt, bushing, seal, etc etc...you'd have a reliable dependable car that could take even more abuse for years to come. You gotta pay to play ;)

I feel your pain. I call it proper maintenance degradation. Your car was driven around or sat for so long without being maintained by the previous owner, it becomes a jenga tower of shit that holds itself together. Once you take a piece away by servicing something that needs to be replaced/fixed, the ENTIRE tower collapses and you now have to rebuild it by servicing everything.
