Domestic Grenades itself.

Yeah you read right.


My beloved Nova grenaded its transmission. Stupid car! haha.

Last few weeks, I noticed the tranny more or less slipping durring hard acceleration.

So after tuning the Carb to what i thought was a good setting. A couple of quick romp sessions around near my home I felt the transmission sorta... well hard to explain it just didnt feel right. Ya probably know what i mean when your car isnt running right, you can tell right off the bat?

I tried to tempt fate and get one last test on the Carb settings... and PANG it went. No more power to wheels. Coasted to the side of the road. Tranny fluid all over the road. All I could say was "awww cripes..."

So after an embarissing AAA tow home, The Nova finds itself back in the back yard. Awaiting its new transmission.

Kinda cool to know you have too much torque to blow up a transmission... but its gonna cost me $1500 to fix it. Being 19 and on a fixed income, its gonna be a while.

This gives me a good reason to up grade to a 700R4 from TPI. I get an Overdrive gear... and a Factory warranty that says it'll take up to 500+ horsepower.

So, Im out of the game for a while.

Shit happens. Just think of it as your car's way of saying "Hey man, fuck you. It's time for an upgrade" Hehe, took my older brother months of taking his 86 Silverado offroading and having it break this way and that for him to upgrade to a CRX, hehe.

yeah.. that is pretty bad.


how about a driver with a mullet in a 3rd Gen Camaro with T-Tops and a Giant #2 sticker on the rear window?

Thats got to be worse.

You make fun of imports and domestics. It seems you don't like many cars, so what the hell are you doing here, honestly?
