Taking bets.........

Post by VBACHAWK » Fri Nov 12, 2010 3:16 pm

OK, in the past 6 months I have replaced the clutch (2nd time in 30 days), the rear end diff, the radiator and last night put a new set of tires on it. She has 91, 302 miles, although I switched out engines last year for one with less than 40,000 miles. So here's the deal...............some of you know my history with this car. What would be your guess as to what I am going to have to replace next ???????????????? Taking bets.........................

(Can't believe what a difference the new set of tires made.............)

You're right ! Forgot to add that the right headlight motor is not functioning, but am able to jerk it up after turning it on and it stays up............so far...............already replaced both window motors. NEXT..............

The opti was when I had the LT-1. Switched out the engine about 1 1/2 years ago. I figure the LS-1 has about 65,000 miles. Good guesses, guys, but couldn't I just drive it a LITTLE until another major repair ????????

Then my bet is nothing is going to break now.......the car is going to be stolen. J/K How difficult was that? I have a 97 Trans Am I am looking into putting an LS motor into.
