I got it in the fall of '06. It had 119k miles on it when I bought it, now it's around 150k. I store that pig every winter too. :yup:
I dont' have the time to work on it's couple of issues, so it's in the shop currently. There was this weird knocking sound in the front end, been there for a while now, since last spring. I checked a lot of things and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I replaced the balljoints, tie rods, upper strut bearing mounts, control arm bushings, sway bar end links, a bunch of stuff. Still knocked around. Sounds drove me completely insane. Took it in finally a couple weeks ago. Turns out there's two motor mounts and two tranny mounts, and all 4 were broken......!!!
The knocking around in the front end I kept hearing was the engine resting on the exhaust. If the exhaust fell out for any reason the engine would have gone with it! :eek2:
Kinda glad that's being taken care of. Makes sense I couldn't find the issue though, that motor is pretty damn heavy, getting that knocking sound to occur at stand stil while under the car would have been impossible.
