Default ****, one thing after another.

First the squeaky belt, now after driving through a HUGE puddle, water got into one of the DRL lights that also happens to be a blinker.

At least the vette gives you a warning with the super annoying fast blinkiing when you try to use that blinker.

So far the shopping list:

1) Goodyear Gator belt
2) New blinker light
3) New passenger door control unit
4) Four new TPM
5) CLB


Looks like I'll be staying in my dorm A LOT next semester.
Gotta love GM quality.

Thanks I hope so.
Next semester it's going to be an uphill battle. Making car payments, get my grades even higher up, and making enough extra money to keep me sane.

Hopefully that's all you'll have to do to the car for a while.

Very viable option. I don't think too many mainstream bands have a 5' 4" asian dude though.
