I guess I got lucky with my first two cars.
I drove the crap out of my poor Mitsubishi Expo and never had a problem ( It got a reputation around my school for being deceptively quick) I had blown all of the head gaskets when we sold it.
My current '92 Integra has 115000 miles and looks and runs like the day it came out of the factory. I'm also a lot more careful with it than I was with the Expo.
Dude, you should see my friend's '98 Grand Am GT. The passenger door used to meake a horrible popping noise when you opened it, but now that stopped and it simply doesn't stay open. Also, the radio display just shows a bunch of garbled gibberish. You also have to double clutch into 3rd or it crunches horribly. Also, the engine has developed a very peculiar stalling problem when you accelerate low RPMs. I won't even get started on the clutch travel or driving position, or the bright red rear drums.
