Man, I am tired of the Stang. I mean it used to be fun to drive, now it seems like everything is going wrong. I never was able to get the turbo engine running right. My hood latch on the fiberglass hood broke, then i temporarily fixed it and before I had a chance, it broke again, but this time the secondary latch didnt catch it and the hood destroyed my windshield and the smashed whole cowl area where the wipers go, and cracked the hood. Now I can only have 1 wiper on the car cuz the other one wont move right. My idle is sometimes all the way up at 3k and other times the car wont idle at all. I am 99% sure its the IAC when the turbo's blew and put some oil through my throttle body. When I shift, there is some type of hollow metallic sound under the car. I'm kinda scared to diagnose this one. I dunno what I'll find. The n/a manifold wont fit on the turbo engine properly b/c of the oil return line so it has this lawnmower sound. When I work about 52 hours a week, its hard to have time for the girl, friends, family, pets, video games, and the car. I just want something else so I dont have to deal with this stuff. Give me normal maintenance any day.


my thoughts exactly. shift work and military teaches one to not sleep much. Especially if one wants to get car stuff done. however their do end up days that I dont feel like doing ANYTHING. I got 4 cars here with me that keep me busy enough. not to mention all the freinds and freinds of freinds that need help with their cars or computers.
