when a single little problem arises, shortly after your suddenly struck with more problems?





hahah I guess I just let everything catch up to me... But damn... It's going to be an expensive summer with all these repairs... laugh.gif

I'm going to be replacing the whole damn top - Its about time anyways, there rips and tears... oh and on top of that it leaks... A LOT. Like literally, if I take a corner too sharply and the car has been sitting out in the rain for awhile, my passenger's will have a waterfall flung right into they're laps... (though I find that pretty amusing, but I'd rather not have that happen obviously...) There's also a nice little lake behind my seat...rolleyes.gif

The back passenger's side window went off its track last summer basically right after I got the other back window behind the driver's fixed... that really sucked...

Then... just recently... The driver's seat busted... The recliner got messed up somehow, so now it wont stay where I want it, and it leans WAY back... T_T Thats getting old VERY fast.

Then there's other things... Like timing belt, a bent rim, the front piece of my kit badly needs to be repainted because of rock chips and it wouldn't hurt to get the sealing repaired... Oh and it needs an oil change too laugh.gif Not that that's a big deal worth crying about, but its still annoying cuz it adds to the list... But yeah it seems all this crap just suddenly happened all at once... But its a 13-year-old car, there's bound to be problems anyways... but sheesh.

Okay rant over.

what's wrong with your cars? lol

I need to swap my wheels, I already have the replacements, I'm just waiting for winter to be over to do it, and I need to replace / upgrade my front brakes ( bent disc on the driver side ) and get better ground wires, and I need a paint job BADLY !, but that's gonna wait 'till I get another car first.

-need new tires for all 4 gts wheels before i can put them on
-some leaking from the top (comes with having a vert)
-need new struts
-need to reapair qarter panel
-front bumper needs repainting
-don't know if it's just my car, but defroster takes a LONG time (i'm talking about the front, cause I know my rear defroster's pretty much shot)

you have to expect some things to happen though on cars as old as ours. Even being Toyota brand...but still love the car to death!
