Well went to get tires and guess what??? Inside one rim was out of wack from hitting something as well as 2 bolts and something else had been bent back. Luckley for me they had a used rim they took off a wrecked car and sold it to me $50 cash and we both were happy it had some scrapes but a LOT. Better than retail. Well after all this wife drove it home last night and said WoW what a difference so I said Happy Birthday and for all you married guys know when the wife is happy we are all happy. So I am now convinced it hit something and the guy didn't turn it in to the Inc. Company that's why it wasn't on Carfax. Does that seem right thinking that way ?

That car has DEFINETELY been been abused. Maybe by someone like the young girl I followed yesterday. She couldn't seem to keep her car on the road. I watched her go off the road and thru some NASTY chuck holes. I bet I seen close to a foot of air under the tires from the bouncing. Never phased her, I don't believe. I watched her do it twice. I know it was a young girl, even tho I couldn't see her head over the headrest (no driver?), she was twirling her hair with her right hand. A teenager thing. Probably talking on the cell phone with her left hand. She didn't care about the car. Daddy bought it for her!
Sounds like you got a car like that.
