When I first glanced the title of this thread, I thought it read "What died in your car this week"......I refuse to let anyone in my car who feels like farting at will and making the whole car smell as if someone had died in it!:yes::mad:

the wtf part has me laughing no offense lol. Lets see. I just found out I own a pathfinder now, the battery died uhm and my power valve on the ol' holley craped out on me. If it wasnt the carb i ll have a list for you :). The ABS light came on in the pathfinder, and uhm the transmission slips in third gear. You dont have it that bad ;)

Nothing. Their sitting under the cover in my garage. The only good thing about winter and not driving them. If your not driving them nothing can break.

My buddy bought a 70 Judge in 83. The second owner died in it.
He started it up in his closed garage, sat there until it was over,
Al did get a good deal on it.

Brakes went to the floor in the 68', wheel cylinder leak and a scary experience.
Parking brake came out of the dash when it was applied.
And my daily driver is about to turn 200k and I think the trans is slipping in od? maybe a bad converter.
BTW, I envy the owner of the white M3, I will never buy American because of that car.
