Is your car dying? :poll;

[Goosemaster]

My damn driver's-side Door handle (inside) fell of the other day:|

I was stuck in there for a few seconds...until i figured out that i could just pull down the window....it was just such an unexpected occurence.

The rear wheel weels are also rotting out too...very bad...the exteral part of the wheel wheels is rusting too..

It's a 1990 120hp Honda accord..this things is INSANE on the road though. Sweet as hell.



If it weren't for the door handle and the rust...and the fuses

..it would be in perfect condition for a 13yr old car



Forgot to add the poll

Sorry, still have you beat. I replaced the pipe once and entire exhaust from the pipe to the muffler once as well. Replaced the front axles on both sides at least twice on each side. Water pump was replaced, power steering pump replaced, compresser for AC does not work, (I live in TX), front left brake line burst on me while driving, (that was scary as FVCK) bent the alloy rim on the right passenger side, (my fault) gotten 2 whole new set of tires for all 4 wheels, a loose electrical wire somewhere that prevents the car from starting every once in a while, every once in a while the engine makes a horrible grinding sound like metal on metal, (goes away when you accelerate past 35) think that's it.

Oh and on my dad's 88 Accord: replaced front axles twice on each side, 3 times on the right iirc, had to get new motor mounts in because the axle was installed improperly once, I'm too tired to think of everything else that's gone wrong. But I think overal his car has been less problematic than mine

Purrrfect condition > 30yrs old

I've sunk a lot of money into my car since I got it, but nothing I've replaced has broken again. I can't judge the car based on the way it was since I got it, due to the fact that the previous owner beat her up quite a bit. She's definitely in pretty good condition for a car that's nearly 20 years old.

I drive an 88 volvo with 80,400 miles on it (was my grandmothers) and I swear something goes wrong with it every month.

I just hope it lasts 2.25 years. The I'll be 25 and can buy a new car and not get raped on insurance as much (NJ). Maybe a mini or the new Saab 9-2 that comes out next year.

my car is in perfect condition, less then 3 month old

96 civic, has a few things like the passenger window needs adjusted because it doesn't work quite right and the seal around the window needs replaced. Few rock chips and couple places where it's been hit by doors in parking lots. Front bumper on the bottom is cracked decently from someone pulling into a parking spot too fast and hitting the guard. Mainly cosmetic problems.

my 91 accord wagon is in perfect running condition and in great shape, but i do have to get things fixed from time to time, so it's not like it's brand new or anything. (142,000 miles)

 

[vi edit]

I've got a '94 camry with 130k on the clock that is in wonderful condition.

2001 Dodge Neon R/T.. perfect condition that I know of.. never had a single repair done after 81,000 kms. (only brakes and other normal things)
