It was the first car I ever bought with my own earnings.....it drove like a dream from the Used Car dealership........I was out on my own after my first marriage....determined to do things for myself....(couldn't take a friggin mechanic with me to check her out, huh?)........she was a 1982 Creme/black interior, Camaro. She was so perty! I looked so f*****g good in her! I drove her for 3 months.......funny thing...the warranty was a three month one too! All of a sudden.......she wasn't riding so smooth. I had my boyfriend check her out......(he's my hubby now but not because of this incident).....he was a diesal mechanic at the time and didn't know much about gas engines.......but it was all there.......water in the oil, knocking and a pinging.......he thought it was the head gaskets.......investigated......it was a cracked block, rigged to out-live the warranty......needed a new motor....I was still paying on the car.....couldn't afford that.......wala.....junk! But, oh...she was so perty!
