'00 Monte Carlo SS 3.8L N/A

171k currently

Problems: (All of which have been fixed recently)
Sun roof (Idiot right before I traded my truck for it decides to push it open to get it open.)
Rust (Apparently the cars has had a small hit where the rust is occurring, Doesn't surprise me since the car was owned by someone in college and you have to park near lots of retards.)
Rack and Pinion (Don't know why it was bad.)
Struts (They've just worn out.)
The high pressure going through the hoses after the new rack and pinion caused a hose to burst.

Personal Problem:
The exhaust sound of the Monte Carlo SUCKS. Both of my brothers grand prix GT's with 3800's 6th and 7th gens sound great. Chevy you screwed the exhaust up or something,
-_-
