my brother recently got a 91 corolla, and the head gasket just went (he took it to shop today, couldn't get it to start back up to get home). i wonder if cold + his aggressive driving could have anything to do with it. the car has about 100k miles on it. now he has to spend half of what the car costs to get it running again. should have bought american. i think all imports are overpriced, and maybe my contour was underpriced.
