I don't have pictures for the story, but I'll tell it anyway. A girl I have a thing for is in my group at school and quickly learned I'm into cars. She says she's looking to buy a car for pretty cheap because she doesn't have one and was wondering if I could help. She tells me she's going to look at a car and mentioned there were some things wrong with it and wanted my opinion before she went. I look at the ad and it turns out to be a 97 Neon. I know every nut and bolt on one of those and it just so happens I have enough parts to basically build another car. So I offer to take her to check it out. She thinks my car is really cool. I believe that is a first for any girl to ever say to me, and she's an ME like me.
They said there is an exhaust leak that causes the engine to make noise. It needs a new coolant hose because it leaks a bit, and there is no CEL. There are other little problems, but nothing important to the story. They also said they had a mechanic look at it and that's how they knew what was wrong. I get there and start the car up. It has an engine knock. I told the girl no big deal it takes about a half hour to pull the pan, swap out the rod bearings, and have it all back together. Then I plug into the car and for some reason it had a few problems even though the CEL wasn't lighting up. Bad O2, bad TPS, stuff like that. Then the thing starts to steam once warmed up and I pop the hood. The radiator is cracked all the way across the top! I also say, don't worry I have an extra radiator and it's not a big job. Then the car starts to shutter a bit and starts spitting blue smoke. The people said it will do that randomly then run fine. Then it started to spew a lot of coolant and I shut it off. I told them they shouldn't be driving the car in that condition and we'll get back to them. I told the girl even though I have everything to fix it, I'm really not feeling motivated enough to swap the engine because it it needs a rebuild and she should probably never talk to those people again. I hate it when people blatantly lie like that. That car was in horrible condition and the girl was very grateful I went along. Ended up taking er out for dinner later that night. The people drove off leaving a plume of blue smoke a boiled coolant behind. Wish I had snapped a picture.'93 H22A 5SPD SE - MRT - DIY-Turbo Sizing

It appears some people never read the first post of this thread.

You know the things that make you go , , , , , or .
Let there be some ground rules:
1. Please don't post pictures of other known cb7tuner/cd5tuner members vehicles in this thread, as this thread is meant for flaming/making fun of cars outside of cb7tuner.com/cd5tuner.com family.
2. The pictures you post should be your own; that you took with whatever means you had available, most likely cell phone.
3. No accident photo's please.
