Default SOB!!!

First, I have problems with my rims being bent months ago. I replace those and have defects in 2 of them. I wait months to get those back and end up having wheel problems. I replace those and then I have radio problems. I replace the whole system and have multiple problems with the head unit. I finally get that fixed and then my horn doesn't work. I get both replaced but find out my right button is broken and need to replace the whole steering wheel to fix it. I'm gonna hold off on that but I got both horns fixed. NOW my right head light goes out. I swear, it NEVER ENDS!!! :banghead: :mad :cuss

Oh, btw, this is all within the past 6 months. :crazy:

At least you were not on a trip.. And sounds like the problem are getting less and less... F the horn and get a P.A. system :)

Headlight? Time to upgrade ;)

Overall it looks very pimp... Take care

I know why they call them C4's.......every time I start to work on one problem, I see four more things that need to be done. :jester

Just leave something broken, then the car will realize that you haven't fixed that part, and it'll wait to break the next thing indefinitely.

Its a car, its breaks. I owned my trans am for almost 4 years and i went through 2 sets of tires, all the power accesories, a motor, a tranny, a driveshaft, exhaust, and tons of other poopie. I counted up the recipts i saved and it came out to be well over $7K. You look at the car and tell me where the money went. http://www.fbody.com/members/1987GTA/gta.html

Its life, poopie happens, deal with it.

I just learned how expensive Vette parts are :eek: :eek:

Later,

Dave

THAT aint ever gonna happen :lol: With mine its a constant stream of quirky lil electrical problems. Nothing that ever keeps it from running...just random things like interior lights going on and off by themselves, the alarm wont set sometimes, the radio stays on even after the drivers door is opened, sometimes the hatch will open using the switch inside the center console etc etc etc. Oh and the radio is on the blink about half the time too. Its just part of the charm of owning a vette :thumbs:
