I am utterly astounded by this car sometimes.
I'm not complaining, I knew that when I bought this car, it was going to be a basket case by virtue of its age (And previous owner), and I bought it knowing full well I am not a good mechanic. (I bought intending to learn, I hate having to rely on other people to fix my car)
So today, I am replacing the intake manifold... go to close the hood when I am done...
and the HOOD LATCH HANDLE, the piece behind the grill in front of the Radiator, somehow broke.
So, I am shaking my head, just wondering how in the hell that happened. This car never stops amazing me. Does that happen to anyone else? They go to fix one thing, and some random other unrelated part just breaks?
