Life Sucks.

[Suislide]

so my car went into the shop today to have the clutch fixed.

and what did i find out?

that the frame is beyond rusty and will take at least $3000 to repair.

i had 5 guys check out this car with me, CREDIBLE guys too, and yet we somehow didn't catch the rust.

the car is not road-worthy, will not certify, and will take alot of money to restore.

so now i'm forced to either sell it or part it out to make ends meet. i doubt i'll make any money from it, and i'm pissed beyond words. the car was sold to me as is, but the jack-ass who sold it to me didn't mention the leaky gas-tank, or the frame rust, and i bet he knew about the clutch before he sold it to me.

i have therefore come to the conclusion that, when it comes to cars, God hates me. i have had no luck with any cars i've owned.

i'll be looking for another one soon.

That sucks, man... better luck with your next car!

[Chuki_breath]

man sorry to hear that but i feel in the future god will bless you with a sweet ass car. It seems to work out that way. Many days/years of suffering then boom everything shifts for the better. i look at it like poker you win some and lose some. But poker is luck of the deal so thats a bad analogy. you make me want to get mine checked out now ......ill probably be in your boat then....sheesh now u got me worried lol.

never blame GOD...

sorry brian, but since 5 credible guys checked out your frame, why does 1 persons opinion change that?

check it out yourself dude, jack the car up or get some ramps.

dude, youll never find a perfect s13, so since GOD gave you lemons, make some lemonade.



leaky gas tank? go to the dealer and get a new one.

rusty frame? at least its not bent-up, go get some tanabe ladder bars

f'ed up clutch? time to get an act upgrade!


c'mon brian, frames dont last forever.

seat time is seat time. practie makes perfect, and your s13 is (imho) way cooler than your m30.


keep your head up bro

the "one person" you refer to is a friend who also happens to be a class-A mechanic. he's the one who looked at the car today. he also happens to have a hydraulic hoist, which is where we lifted the car, got under it, and discovered all the rust.

trust me dude. tanabe ladder bars will not save this one.

i dunno about the US, but there's a thing in Ontario where your car has to be safety certified in order for you to get a license plate for it and in order for it to be legal to drive on roads.. my car WILL NOT pass in it's current state, and doing a cheap job of fixing it (ie bondo, welding etc.) will not help it at all. the class-A mechanic who checked out my car also happens to be licensed to do these safety checks, so he would know. the car is not roadworthy, and would take a complete tear-down and frame-rebuild in order for it to have any semblance of hope for being road-worthy again.

believe me. getting under there today, it was like the first time. i had never seen any of this rust before, and i'm not blaming him. he's right. it is trash and will not pass. but that doesn't mean i'm not still mad.

i've had no luck in finding or buying cars...every one i buy, no matter how thoroughly i check it out or get second opinions, something ALWAYS happens that fucks it up...

and this isn't the only shitty thing that's happened this week. i have no job or money, my classes this semester are shit, the teachers are assholes, my friends have all left, my dad is mad at me, and all week me and my girlfriend have been fighting on and off over the smallest, stupidest things. like today, when i drove her home, i had just found out about my car and was mad as hell (i think i broke my pinky when i punched a cabinet). when i'm as mad as i was today, i like to be alone. if i'm with people, the smallest thing can and will set me off, and i don't want to snap at people. so i told her i'd like to be alone after school and we could hang out later. she got all mad and stormed away, and now her mom just called my house looking for her. so i have no idea whether my girlfriend is mad at me or not, and to top that all off, i'm worried as hell because neither me nor her family knows where she is.

life truly does suck.

i'm not looking for a perfect S13. by no means. every one has it's own personal problems. but this car isn't even CLOSE to perfect. the frame is total shit. besides that, the car is perfect, but that is enough to totally cancel out the rest of the car.

i just want one that will run, pass safety, and do me good. if this car had a good frame, i could've handled all the little quibbles with it, like the gas-tank and window motor, but since the frame is gone, the car is dead.

i'm parting it out or selling it whole to someone who's willing to put alot of work into it.

[Chuki_breath]

damn dude...ill poor some of my 40oz to ya tonite and wish that things go better. If your girlfriend reads that post u just gave im sure she will understand. Just fight it man iv been in worse scenarios than that....it all comes out in the end bro trust me!!!!!

no. i don't like Z-cars, they're too heavy to drift.

if you're going to try to convince me to buy something else, don't bother posting. i'm a 240SX enthusiast through and through and i will buy another one soon.

[TheLogikal1]

girlfriends are a handful i agree, i got my 1st girl when i was in 8th grade and shes been my girlfriend ever since.


canadian laws suck..you mean theres abosolutely no way in hell you can pass?

thats feakin horrible...i feel bad for you bro.

how bout keeping your daily driver and jut using the 13 as a sidecar?

whatever you do, good luck doing what youre gonna do.

[vsiev]

hey if you are going to part it out or sell the car whole, take the rare floor mats and the lip lol. Hope luck follows you. Karma will come around just be patient for it. Oh and gf are confusing...most of the time they're not direct and straight forward which is annoying. Good luck man

[Mediocrity]

Stay with 'er (the car) man... you obviously like the s13 and it'll be easier to wait and re-frame it than to get a new one.

As for life, I know how it goes... stick it out - it all becomes worth it if you just stay with it.

[J SPEC SilEighty]

damn Brian I'm sorry about your car. Hopefully you'll find another one sometime soon. and don't let the little fights between you and your g/f get to you. My g/f and I used to have little fights about everything, but you will always make up. i think making up is the best part

but anyways, i hope everything works out for you man.

Hmm yea I know heavy cars aren't good for drifting, but how do Lexus sc300's drift then?? I see a lot of SC300's in those japanese drifting videos, my bro's SC400 weighs 3700 lbs and it's bone stock.

Anyways sorry to take it off-subject, but you got to respect the good times in life, as well as the bad. Everyone hits a low-point, all you go to do is pull through and think to yourself that down the line this will all be over and that it wasn't that big of a deal. You could be in a much worst situation...

[Amish_kid]

Shitty deal, well that should really make you think about the next time you ever look at a car is to just take it somewhere and get it throughly checked out first.

[mynismo]

pop it on ebay. get an sr-t
