Default Wtf!

I have had my car for 2yrs and it had 75k when i got it. I swear as soon as my 94 LS got close to 100k miles all hell broke loose. At first I replaced all the belts and water pump at about 95k. Then one of my AC lines went out. Then the AC compressor went out. Then I had 3 flat tires over the course of 2 months. My shocks are starting to sqweek so I was about to get knew ones installed and now my clutch is almost completely gone. All of this has happened over the last 5 months or so.

Wear and tear man. The 75k it had when you got it may have been a hard 75k who knows...

Well, it's not just mileage, guys.
Time is always a factor in durability.

I can say this.. find me a GM-built car from 1994 that has had fewer repairs and less money spent on maintenance.

Yes, it's a pain when all the components that can wear out do so all at once... but on the whole, operating costs are still pretty low for our cars.

Call me cold, but repairs are a fact of life when owning a car. h:

My experience with integras has taught me that when things run smooth, everything is great. But when things don't run smooth, everything seems to fall part or break one thing after another. And yes, it can all add up pretty quick when things aren't 'so smooth'.

I know all of these things were going to have to be replaced but the problem is that they are happening faster then i can keep up with cash wise. i fix something and the i get a little bit of cash. Something else happens and end up just dealing with it for a few weeks until I get enough money to fix it all. The clutch still grabs but there's not a whole lot of it there so I'm driving as easily as i can on the cluch. I want to slap a GSR tranny on there.
