FWIW I have had the plastic cover off the bottom of the front of my car for...well, almost as long as I had the car. Took it off to replace the radiator and we decided to keep it off until we know the leak is fixed. Well, here we are 10 months later, and the leak is still not fixed lol.
And that brings up another vent. I want out of this car. Like, NOW. I just get the feeling it's running on borrowed time. The AC has started to flicker (it takes some wiggling to get it to say on AC), the anti-lock brake light has decided to come on for no apparent reason twice now, it still leaks coolant and I have a feeling it's the intake manifold if not something worse, the windows are all slowly dying (except the back ones are dead already, and the sun roof works perfectly). And it has a **** 3rd cylinder misfire that I'm starting to think is related to the coolant leak. Oh, and a vacuum line that's crap, and I can't find the fitting I need for it ANYWHERE. So it's held together with many layers of purple duct tape, just like the windows. And it gets crap for gas mileage. AND the passenger side windshield wiper doesn't work. Just decided to die over the winter. Speaking of winter, the heater only works shortly after I fill it with coolant, because after a while enough leaks out that there's not enough to heat in the heater coil. Which means it takes forever to de-ice that car, and I can't even just spray it with windshield washer fluid and turn on the wipers and hope for the best (my preferred method of de-icing) because of the nonworking windshield wiper. And the speakers are all starting to go out, it devoured my tape adapter, and it decided to shed ALL THE KNOBS. And I lose the button on my shifter at least a couple times a week and have to search for it because it's not attached and my finger isn't long enough to go without the button. And I need a new O2 sensor. But I think that's it.
Oh, no, wait, I also keep forgetting to get my stupid flat tire fixed, so I've had a donut on it for a couple months now. And two of the good tires are going to need to be replaced soon.
BUT HEY. AT LEAST I HAVE NEW OIL AND NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID. And i guess I ALWAYS have new coolant. Screw 50,000 miles, mine gets changed every 200 miles!
