thats so depressingly true on multiple occasions.

with my pre98 I had so many issues with misfiring, I took it to two different mechanics because I was stumped. I had replaced the ignition coil, wires, and plugs. I told them the only thing I think might be an issue would be the coil because it was an el-cheap-o one. I just didn't know how to test it, they said it wasnt possible, both shops did.

I ended up buying an upgraded Accel ignition coil and installing it, never had another misfire.

Jackasses.

1. You can't fill up with gas without opening your trunk.
2. When thirsty, you drive around trying to find a place that still sells 12 oz. cans that actually fit in you're cupholder.
3. You take the offramps at excessive speeds hoping that some idiot in a Pontiac will follow you trying to do the same.
4. After blowing up an engine or two, you learn to take only the left hand offramps at excessive speeds.
5. You can't help but snicker whenever someone mentions that his/her SUV is "fun to drive".
6. You would consider paying 30K for a new Jag BECAUSE of its Mondeo/Contour heritage.

Holy ****!

Those were all my contributions! From five years ago? Seems like it was yesterday.

-Your car's alignment is good... until you hit a bump.

-You've received an "official" document (ticket, work order, etc) that's called your car an Escort, Taurus, or Neon.

-You've bought one or more sideskirts to pillage them for jack point covers.
