Well, I got to drive it again the other night. I fixed more brake lines so it actually stopped when i hit the pedal. I got to the gas station and put in $10, which got me half a tank from 1/8. Then when I tried leaving I noticed the clutch pedal was rock solid and it was stuck disengaged. DAMMIT! So I had to walk all the way to my house at 2AM to grab my dad's van so I could tow it. I hooked it up and tied the steering wheel and pulled it into a parking lot 1/2 mile from my house. On the way there it decided to veer to the right. I just said fuck it and let the fucker slam right into a pole. The diagnosis was a broken clutch plate. I later learned it was a $40 part held on with 3 bolts, I thought I would have to drop the trans to replace it. I junked it the next day and made $130, almost half of whan I spent on it. I took all the parts that I put on it and I'm selling them on ebay and returning them to the store. Hopefully I can break even or maybe make a profit from this. I only got to drive it three times, I was constantly fixing it. I still like GM's though, but not as much as my Mopar.
