Title: Car Problemas
Post by: SirMystiq on August 20, 2003, 04:02:51 PM

Ok, so there is this guy selling me a 1988 Pontiac firebird formula, It looks alright. So is there any comments? Also he said that the "headlight transmission is stripped" and that "it has to be blocked up" what does that mean?!

Why are you buying a 1988 domestic car?  Problemas is right.  Get ready for many many problemas.  I would stay away from any domestic car manufactured in the 1980s like it was upholstered with smallpox blankets.

BTW I have no idea what that guy meant by those two statements.  Probably he didn\'t know either.

Make sure you check the fluid in the headlights.

Back in 88 it was a big deal when people tried to drive low on fluid.

That car would look great with some dubz.

if he said it needs to be blocked up, I would guess that it has no tires and has to be put up on blocks.  Or maybe he meant that it needed head work....  I have no idea, is he right in the head?  I\'m not going to even try to figure out what he meant by headlight transmission, except maybe he meant headlight relay.

Headlight transmission is what is needed to go from Low to High beams.

DUH!!!

Geeze.  Thank God you have someone on the board who does car shows for a living.

Looks smooth, hopefully babied by the original owner.  Why is it parked on the curb like that?

Ah, so you can\'t drive the car at night because the gears are stripped.  Sweet.

As noted in a previous thread you will save money on gas.


BTW, you do realize you have to wear at least three gold chains to drive a car like that, don\'t you?

I just don\'t want you to buy the car and then have to get a ride to go buy some sweet jewelry at one of the kiosks in the middle of the mall.

Call a junkyard for the assembly.  They may tell you just to leave the car there though.
