Help me with my 1990 Lumina Euro

I have a 1990 Lumina Euro, 4 door, and I believe 3.1L 6 cyl. It has only 60,000 miles...I bought it 3 years ago when it had only 22,000 miles. Obviously, it sat a lot. I've replaced a lot, but it's really been a good car. Most recently, I replaced the intake manifold gasket. That cost a pretty penny.

A couple of quick questions --

There is a strange squeaking/thumping noise that seems to come from the passenger side, toward the middle bottom of the car. As far as I've noticed, it happens only after it rains...so perhaps something is getting wet and causing it to squeak/thump? I'm just wondering if I should have something fixed, or if it is simply part of the charm of the car.

Also, I was reading about some seat belt issues with this car. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just moved to Boston (where people drive 80 mph all the time) and am a little freaked out about safety. Am I driving a death machine?

Any suggestions/information would be great!
