junk american car rant
 
well so the deal is the wife has a 02 saturn(and i know that it is a disposible car...she has had it since new, before we where married, i never would have let that ---- fly if i had a say in it at the time....well we did all the things we should have oil changes,tune ups all that bullshit....god damn piece of ---- spun a ------- bearing at 110 thousand miles on it.....no warning no nothing just ------- let go.....i know that it was junk and was going to die...but i thought we had another 30 or 40 thousand before that would happen. sadly i was wrong...don't know what we are going to do yet..haven't decided if i'm just going to go to my pick and pull and get another engine for it...or just suck it up and get a new car....which money wise will suck...just switched jobs and money is tight now....----.....




cliff note....wife had shitty saturn before we got married spun a bearing at 110thousand miles.....have rope and will hang myself

yea i know that is how america works......making cars to break at 100,000...and i wish i could let her deal with it, but it is the only "family safe" car we have i drive a work van for the most part and my hatch is sitting in the garage half stripped out.....so it is my problem i have to figure out how she is going to get the kid to the babysitter and her ass to work....it just sucks.....i have been wanting to get a wrx wagon for a while now...this might be my chance.. :6 better odds is we find a cheaper civic to get by on till we have more loot

I could agree with the hyundai thing but not kia. Kias are on the same par with daewoo's imo. I never really liked Hyundai's but my great uncle Dan has one and its treated him very well with absolutely minimal problems; their f22 odyssey has given them much more problems.

BTW saturns are known for this type of ish. I'm surprised the tranny didn't go out first. My saturn had like, 130k miles and had a new tranny in it :S

Yeah that'll work for about 15 minutes before spinning another.
