I drive a 91 Cutlass Supreme SL, 3.1 V6, with 180 000 km's on it

 

in a little over a year of drivign I have:

 

gone threw 3 alternaters

ate 2 fuel pumps, 1 fuel filter

new brake pads

new back calipers

new coolant system

new HVAC system

new horn

new battery

new sparks

new tires

new sterrign wheel column

 

 

I still need to get a new fuel gauge, and new interior light switch

 

 

Are these normal thigns for a car of this age to be doing, or have Istumbled across a lemon?

Oh, and I wanted a little input from you guys here to. I have a white, with black back, and grey rear bumper + lower trim.

 

I am painting my grey trim and bumper jet black, and the spoiler / luggage rack black to match (I also have limo tinted windows). I and gettign my rims spray gloss black to matc has well. Should I spray my front grill black (from chrome) or leave it? and should I add a racing stripe?

 

Thanks.

too bad you live half-way across the country from winnipeg cause there's a kickass body-shop here called Ivan's that has won many awards including the DuPont Top Gun award and they don't charge any more than any of the other shops. I had all my body-work/paint done there when i got into an accident with my tercel and you can't even tell the difference at all in the color or finish!

The one I have has a lifetime warranty.

wow!!!! i'm curious, what kind? this should be a necessity for a w-body owner... specially with the 3.4!

doesn't matter do you want to pull the front end apart to do it?! the first time i did it by myself in a cold garage and it too me a lil voer 8 hours! damn piece of shit tie rod! the fucking tie rod can u believe it? it was so heated up it was glowing then i said fuck it and got the 10 pound sledge! and the damn half shaft wouldn't come out for about 35 min, and i didn't stop to take a brake but for about 15 min. I'm glad i ahve a 3.1 for once! :D lots of alts can be purschased with a opt life time warranty
