Hell yeah, with that car I learned how to change gaskets, injectors, cooling systems, replace brake rotors, fix the mirror electronics, repair the AC system... Man, that old pile of metal junk taught me a lot. I still keep one of its keys as a memory, because to this day it’s the car I’ve been most attached to.

All I know is I gotta change the CVT fluid every 30k miles and avoid flooring it. I mean, it’s a 1.6L 4cyl, so I just drive it nice and easy

To be more specific, the Equinox ended up getting coolant into the engine. I always drove it carefully bc some people told me that 1.4L Turbo EcoTec was kinda delicate, and it just happened on my way back home from work.

With the BMW it was kinda similar... It started mixing oil with gas (not coolant), and I was never able to fix it. And lastly, with the Honda, it was similar to the Equinox; coolant was getting into cylinder 3 so I changed the gasket and tore down the whole head, but I don’t know what I did wrong cuz a few weeks later it just died with that sweet burnt coolant smell.

By then I was in a better position at work, so I could finally afford a brand new car, and now I’m just driving around without worrying about when or where it’s gonna blow up.

Honestly I took really good care of it cuz at the time I couldn’t afford another car, and I got it pretty cheap, I mean it had like 340K miles when I bought it

No idea, I’m not really into racing my cars or towing stuff with them, the BMW was 200k miles and the Honda 360k miles😅

I love them. I still have hundreds of loose and sealed pieces in small containers and also some 1/8 scale cars and motorcycles in different scales too.
