its dieing, physically. too much rust at the rear wheel wells, the cv boots ripped recently, rear wheel bearing started to turn crap, motor mounts screwed up the ass, etc . . .. . . . its turing to shit. i love my car, but its been giving me shit too. 210000 miles, & im going to need something more reliable soon. i just dont want to put more money into it anymore, to keep it "normal."
