      Well, im pretty lucky I guess *knocks on wood*

      on my 1996 bird:

      When I bought it two summers ago, the A/C was going out and one of the headlight motors was blown...the dealership fixed these. Apparently the A/C unit was a lemon cause before we bought it from the dealership, my dad called the previous owner and she said the A/C had never worked right. Well, the dealership completely replaced it and it works perfectly...better than any A/C ive ever seen.

      Since I bought it (not counting the 2 things above) I have had to replace alot of stuff!

      Like oil, gasoline, and a battery! THOSE BASTARDS! :D

      I also replaced my tires... the car came with those defective ones known as Eagle GA's

      Of course, my car only has 56K miles on it...not bad for a 6 year old car!

      :cool:

        My idler pulley went bad on my 96 that sucked I was going 50mph and belt gets thrown off and I lose power steering and stuff pretty scary for me, I had no CLUE what was goin on. So I had them replace all the pulleys to better ones.

          1 new radio
          2 new windshield wiper motors
          lord knows how many "warped because of the way the car is driven" rotors
          3. Had to replace a fender because the bottom ripped
          4. New wiring for the abs control
          5. 2 new alternators
          6. 2 new ac compressors
          7. new steering wheel
          8. Almost a new tranny but the ended up tuning it six times until it worked
          9. hmmm...there is so much more i just need to think about it.
          And i do take care of my car, very good care. I just wish it would give me some love back!

            oh ya thought of some more,
            new water pump
            new ignition

            I have come to the conclusion that my car was the "bad part" box. The car they make that all the screwed up parts go into so they have one big problem rather than a bunch of little problems. Either that or it was the last car of the line on friday.
