Mine only responds because I've spent $1300 in the last two months appeasing the auto faeries that live under the hood. The timing chain is stretched, and if the distributer is set in the mandated position, she has no guts and stalls out a lot. She passed smog on Friday, and today my mechanic turned her distributer 180 degrees out of where the book says it should be, and now she's purring again. I'll need to get the timing chain replaced eventually, but this should get her through to next spring.Animal_gal said:

I had names for most of my cars...
The '72 Bug, was called The BBQ, after the day it caught fire...
The '72 Cutlass was Hoopty
The '86 Cutlass was Beater with a Heater
The '82 Ford 4 wheel drive was Scraper, as in skyscraper since it was so high
Currently,
'79 MG Midget is Death Trap, DT for short, even more so when I ever get the chance to drop a 350 small block in it... or Dog House, as it's in the back yard, and Katie's Dog sleeps on it...
'94 Honda Del Sol is The Vert as in convertible...
The few that didn't get named as they didn't last long, was the Escort GT, Malibu, and Dodge Dakota...

I could never drive anything that ordinary! :nope: I drive a 1993 Isuzu Amigo SUV, factory PURPLE - 1993 was the ONLY year it was offered in that color. It took me three years to track one down. The only other car I put that much effort into finding was my 1969 (also purple) MG Midget...and then I only had it 31 days before someone T-boned me and totaled it!Hawkin' said:
