grand prix's and all their freakin problems

[01gpgt01]

ok so i've had the car for about a year and a half and so far i've needed to replave the battery, alternator, starter, and now my water pump is leaking. i also have a weird rattling noise coming from the engine and was told it was the torque converter by a fellow 3800 owner but who knows. and the struts need replacing which is understandable for a car now with 153k miles on it but still, i feel the need to b*tch.

Doesnt sound like to many issues. Esp for a older car with 150K miles

So what have I replaced in mine other then brakes, sparkplugs, plug wires, and normal fluids? humm, well I replaced the LIM gasket a few years back. My cars been supercharged(zzp-m90 kit) for 4 years, seen 70 track pass's and dynoed 280whp. Ive yet to have a issue thats not considered normal maintance. Oh wait I almost forgot! I had a window switch go bad lol

Knock on wood I have only had to replace one thing that I didn't plan on replacing when I bought the car...when you buy used you HAVE to check it out first. Mine needed wheel bearings and headlights so I said fix it or give me that amount of money off so I can fix it myself, and they did....Since then the only thing that I didn't plan on replacing that went bad was my passenger side CV..I've done one set of brake pads and front struts but I knew thats what needed to be done when I bought the car, so it was no surprise...check it over good so you know what will need to be done to make the car run well for a long time

I've had my GTP for a week and already i've changed the BBV, Coupler, 1 Wheel Bearing, 1 Tie rod end and I still have a list of crap to fix ...

[mezzoni]

typo the car has 133k miles. but ive also replaced both front and rear brake pads. idk now that all you guys list what you've had to replace i guess it isnt so bad but it sure seems it when everytime i save up some money it goes into something that breaks on the car. i just feel like my hood is up far more than anyone elses on the street, its that type of thing

Sounds like the previous owner wasn't anal about maintenance. It's part of life and cars that you have to deal with when buying a car it's a hit or miss towards a lemon.

well you are 1/2 right, 15 lines of text, and you make no mention of your cars problems, or lack of, so it seems like u singled me out for no reason, at least i get my point across, unlike a lot of people who babble on and on like they have no clue what they are asking, or talking about.

i've owned at least 20 cars and do all my own work on them, so i've had grease up to my armpits over and over, pulled engines, trans, rears, AND REBUILT IT TOO, what ever needed to do be done I've done MYSELF. so if my rants can help someone, Im happy, i sure have learned a thing or 2 reading others peoples problems.

wow, look at this 3 paragraphs. or 2 paragraphs and a line of text you make the call...

dude you need to chill. and before i even read what it was about, I read this comment, skipping over your last one. Fact of life, when people see many lines of text, no break, they skip it. He said nothing about you personally.

Apparently I didn't, because while I'm pointing out fact, you're still an asshole. Guess there's no hope for people like you

ya know what i looked into his posts before i posted MY last response to him just to see if i thought he actually contributes and his post are useless for the most part, that looks cool, its ugly and so on , plus he don't even own a 3800 anything, hes got more worthless bs posts than benji did, and i didn't start this, another fool did with his sarcastic response, a few other people made the point of not having a block of text, with out being a complete assholes about it, unlike these last too children.

oh and zr1vette09 everyone can read the chat log up top here so if your nerd ass is scared of bio getting on you for being out of line, i bet you think you were out of line then, as i believe you were and still are. and you called yourself a nerd not me, i know why you got bullied, you don't know when to but out.

ARE WE ALL DONE YET???? maybe we can all just agree to dis agree sometimes and get back to helping people.

When I bought my car in '07 , it had 102k on it. Only issue then was rusty coil pack prongs, I knew that was an easy fix. Since then, I've had 75k more miles and new battery, new plugs twice, wires, coil packs, tires, calipers(front), rotors (front twice, rear once), 3 of 4 brake lines blew/replaced, blower motor & module twice, door latch froze up/replaced, oh yea and a new tranny.

I still need to do the LIM, broken sway bar, rear pads/rotor, quick strut for rear, e-brake cable, and that 4th brake line before it blows too. Oh yea and plugs again since last time I used copper. Need mufflers soon theyre rusting out.

But hey still beats being locked into making payments for years and years.

Yeah, because you're really helping people. Quit being such a worthless tool. All anyone did was point out how no one reads paragraphs of crap. If you don't like me, get the hell off the forum, *****. You clearly have no sense of humility when it comes to the Internet. If you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of this thread for good. Don't act like you join this and know who I am. I'm clearly a smarter, better human being than a piece of trash jersey boy like you. Try not to be such a cliche.

the only people who even knew how to say what needed to be said about my original post was matt5112 and machinegunsquid anyone after that you guys are just being complete tools. the case was closed.


now you are calling me names...remember you started with me, i never went after you till you started flaming me in this post, like you do to so many other here, ive read up your posts, worth less.

you got a sticky full of other peoples words that you compiled, and try to take the credit for, worthless i say again.

oh and KC is the biggest sh1t hole in the whole country, ive been to both sides of that crappy river and all i saw was ghetto crack heads and a slum, live large in your book smart world.

and i never said i don't like you, but you make no bones about how you feel about me, why i have no idea so ,f with me and i'm right back at your lame ass.

i came here to learn more about my car, and help others along the way, not post crap back and forth with you. remember you started this with me, not the other way.

last time i looked you don't run this site. so who are you to tell me where i can post again.

another fvcking knob goblen keeping the community strong.

[ZR1Vette09]

By the way: paragraphs rock!

This is the statement you got all butt-hurt over. If that's normal for you, then I doubt anyone really actually likes you. I'm sorry you thought I "flamed you" because I said you typed a lot of words. Get over. It's the internet. Now quit crying in your mommy's shoulder, man up, and get over it. You talk big on here, but what's really funny is that I'm the one with any respect on here. I didn't make this personal you did. Man up, take some responsibility for what you said.

[Scottydoggs]

this whole thing was completely done till "YOU" had to chime in with your 2 cents, like days ago,,,get over YOURSELF.

and yes you talk sh1t to a lot of ppl here and i think you know it by now. now go back to living off your daddy. mines dead so don't even go there. i've paid my way since im 18,,have you even started to pay your own way, college boy.

not to mention it to you (like i need to) to but 70 something posts and you and this other guy are the only people who seem to have a problem with me, clam down.

[ZR1Vette09]

Grow up, no one wants to hear any kind of sob story. And don't you dare try to pretend like you know who I am. You know nothing about me. You have me so wrong, you don't even know, and I don't have to explain myself to you. Fact is, you're so incredibly stupid, you're still going on about your our response to your text. Seriously, just leave. For good. Oh, and name 2 people I talk crap on. It's not my style. I didn't even say anything wrong about you until you made this personal.

[coreygnar]
