I owned a '91 grand-am, 2001 alero, and now the 2005 vibe... (the vibe doesn't really count, it's a toyota more or less).

On my '85 Civic 4wd wagon, the thermostat, spark plugs, oil filter, and alternator were a bitch to get at.

Sub 2000 Lbs, AWD, and 200+ HP... Sounds like a fun little thing to beat around in.
Never did put too much more thought into the logistics of it though. Got rid of the wagon.

Yep. They also made All-Trac Camries... (Camrys? Camry's? GAH! lsdadjfljsljlsj) The 87+ Camry is a bit porky for my tastes though.

I dig the editing where it doesn't show the "Last edited by Joe Momma Date/Time."
EDIT: Like this.
EDIT AGAIN: Of course 2nd time around, it'll probably show it... And if you do it too fast, nobody has time to reply, so it's kinda pointless...

Luckily, I set my work hours to Noon and 7-8ish PM... That way, I avoid the rush hour... Less chance of me running into morons...

He just replaced the clutch too, and the car has less than 50K miles on it... That man does not know how to use a car. Spends too much of his time baked...
This man truly sucks at life.
I should probably finish my oatmeal and get the **** off the forum now.

My Vibe says every 5000 miles, which I do, but only b/c I use Mobil 1 in it...
My girlfriend's father's camry says 7500 miles on REGULAR OIL... non-synthetic... I wouldn't drive a car around that long without changing the oil even WITH synthetic...

So anyways, I did a job out in southeast DCyesterday(liquor store), I was scared shitless, I got to park behind a razor wire gate that is about 15feet tall, and work behind the 3inch think bullet proof glass, this was completely bullet proof, the cashiers had to go around and get what the people wanted! SOOO ghetto!
then I heard some gunshots, and a lady ran in and said "4 *neeegaz* just got shot down the street, one of them got shot in teh head!
At that point I decided it was time to leave!
Note to self: Next time you get a call to go do a job in southeast DC, dont go><

Okay 7500, but that's only if I feel like avoiding my parents. And I only did that ONCE. The valves in my truck are ticking loudly enough as it is... Stupid lash adjusters. I hate automatic or "maintenance free" anything... Gimmie a set screw and a lock nut. I don't mind adjusting valve clearance every 15-20 K miles.
