Default Dear CL

so i recently just found the car that i wanted before some crazy man took it away from me.
BUT big but it so happens that i have my sc resulting in that. love the car to death but im just getting fed up with it. idk what to do anymore. love it yet i hate it more then anything. really thinking about getting rid of it for good and just playing in the streets. this site helps with problems but reading and doing is different and like alot of people im hands on learner. making some of the write ups long and confusing, but none the less very very helpful

help a lexus bro out

should i move on or should i just fight it out

Youve barely had the car it seems, you musta got a POS if thats your feelings. Ive had mine and chopped mine up as it were and changed it and i wouldnt change a thing.

Its your car, do what you want.

I hate mine too

and love it.

It's like the ring in Gollums hands.

Either stick with it or buy a BRZ/FT86 in a few months.

Just dont say negative things around your SC, it can hear you...
Told the wife i was getting tired of the nick nack stuff on the SC one day while I was driving it, got home only to find the coolant line to the oil filter cooler started leaking...PITA!
But I still love/drive/beat/shovel money into/hate it.

Real talk...I think you should work with it and make it to "something special". Look at some of the SCs here on CL-not all of them started out "top notch", and to be honest this is the beauty of it! We all have plans, just some of us have more money then others, but in the end we're striving for the same thing! A really clean, and praise worthy creation! Something to think about. Either way, wish you all the best and good luck with your venture!

idk i was driving and it sounds like something is about to fall off the car, so i lifted it and checked nothing. it happened to me before but it was in an integra lol so i thought it was just the brake dust shield but it wasnt cause it doesnt have one, pretty lost on where its coming from just hearing it from the driver front wheel hella loud. then the sound system idk what happened to it it just died. my the bigger problem is my tranny doesnt want to shift in to reverse and some times will not want to go into first
