Wow Ed!! My first car was an 85 blue honda accord!!! Bought it for 300 bux.... Lasted a year and a half... I drove it like it was an NSX... Tranny blew 2 weeks later I bought the worst thing ever... A 92 red firebird v6... Oooo man bought it started to drive home and the head gasket blew... The place I bought it from "repaaired" it... A year goes by and motor blows... Bought a cheap junkyard motor to get by... Ima be honest I Had a nasty break up with my girl I became suicidal and drove it straight to a wall..(Since then I became the mac daddy I am today.. Nothing can get me that low anymore... So don't worry no more crashing into walls...) That was 5 1/2 years ago.. Was carless for a while and then bought my 89 formula almost 3 years ago!! I never did anything with it cause $$ was a big problem at the time... So here we are today and I'm making it work now!!! |

How the hell did the clutch go jumping the Tercel? I would expect the car being bent to shit. But not the clutch failing. |
