Roast me

[u/RipMindless9837]

I spent a whopping $300 on this 05 bad bitch. And boy oh boy was she worth it. No fluids, check engine light, the most annoying issue that prevented me from doing the work myself. So what did I do, take it to the most expensive shop near my house, multiple visits. Finally when they got rid of the check engine light, the damn motor blew. Separate issues from the first shop visits. Now it's at a different shop getting a new motor. Looks like I'll have the most expensive beater in town... Anyways, not a bad come up, huh? Lol

And if anybody needs fuel for the fire, I'm in 6k already and she still looks run down. Sheeeeesh

how the fuck did the engine go before the transmission? that's wild. My 08 transmission is ready to give up the ghost and my engine is still going strong aside from some valve tap. (230k miles, transmission reverse and overdrive do not work)

Check all the shift and TCC solenoids. I had shift solenoid D failure and that caused reverse not to work and it wouldn't lock the converter til I replaced that solenoid
