There's been times when I let my fiance drive my car and he would do the same for me with his car. I don't feel comfortable having someone else drive my car...even sometimes when it's my fiance lol. He can be a crazy driver sometimes.  |

I know what you mean StarChik...I now refuse to let my own brother drive my car. Which probably has a great deal to do with one of my cars coming back with a blown gearbox after he went to change down from 5th into 4th...and instead hit 2nd :S  |

Rarely does anyone ever drive MY car. I can truely share your angst at even the thoughts of such. On the rare occasions that it has/does happen, they never seem to return the car the way it was when they got behind the wheel. When I get back in my car, the drivers seat is shoved up against the steering wheel, or practically on top of the back seat. The radio, stereo, CD player, etc., is all jacked up, changed, reset, turned off, and or just generally all messed up. NO, I don't like others driving my car.  |

Well I just got my new car in November so it's pretty precious to me. A few weeks after I got the car, I made the mistake of letting my sister drive it. I told her to keep the car OUT of the driveway because I knew there was at least a foot of snow in it and she would get stuck. So I got a call later that day from her saying "I got your car stuck in the driveway... if you want it that's where it is." So of course, my boyfriend and I had to push it out ourselves which was NOT fun... it took hours. So now only my boyfriend drives it and I'm fine with that. I make him drive usually anywhere we go, I prefer to ride. But no one else drives my car!  |

Egan, If the occasion arises where I must drive someone else's car, I'm very very careful to return it exactly as it was when I got in it. I don't go changing NOTHIN'! I'm serious now; I guess it is because of the way I feel about someone driving MY car. I'm that way with staying over at someone's home too. I usually try to leave things BETTER (cleaner/neater) than when I arrived. Oh, and did I tell ya, I love my car? LOL |

|
Date: 4/24/2004 11:38:00 PM
From Authorid: 38849
Sweet. If I keep the manual, then I am going to have to do alot of work on it... Right now, and ever since I bought the car, it never properly disengaged... Right now I am to the point thinking that: 1. it isn't air in the system... bled it for nearly 8 hours one day with no air coming out. 2. that the clutch assembly isn't issue in the tranny itself so that leaves me that either the master cylinder is bad or the slave cylinder is... my inclination is the slave cylinder since it appears to be aftermarket(and i've read HUGE horror stories about the aftermarket slaves on the fieros). -- |
|
Date: 4/24/2004 11:42:00 PM ( From Author )
From Authorid: 21867
Could well be the slave cylinder. Though I also had something similar happening on one of my old cars and traced it down to a badly seated clutch-fork...so who knows. |

From Authorid: 38849
When we changed the clutch on the car, (flywheel included, and well everything in the darn thing was changed)... we made sure it was to spec and then checked again to be sure... still didn't disengage properly... So we bled and bled, and bled some more... still no change... finally we replaced the clutch pedal(fieros have an issue with those) still... no luck. so i am now thinking it is one of the two cylinders... reason for engine swap? the original engine had a head leaking water into the oil making it look like chocolate milk which cost a bit of cash to replace: crank and cam shafts, bore cylinders, replace head, machine head and replaces valves and guides, rockers, springs, pushrods, pistons... and timing gear since it was all apart this fix lasted for two weeks when the stupid freaking timing gear broke(THE NEW ONE)... UGH... so decided right then and there... not fixing that engine ever again and putting a new one into it... thought about a v8.. but gas prices now makes me say v6 -- |

Hahaha...oh, sorry Zayden...believe me I'm laughing WITH you, not at you Yup...spent many a frustrated day or week or month fully stripping down and rebuilding motors...then having to do it all again when something else let go. Just the nature of the beast sometimes...and chances of rebuilds are greatly increased when you take your car on the track and cane it like a naughty doggie. The SC V6 that come in most GM cars here make 190kws...and the GenIII V8 versions of the same car have approx 200kws...so the difference is not that much. Raise the boost a lil and the SC V6 is even more potent...plus...power-to-wieght ratio alone will make the performance blistering enough with a stock SC V6. |

I don't like ANYONE driving my car. After being without my own wheels for a couple of years and having to *gasp* SHARE one vehicle, I'm even more touchy about it. I hate having to readjust my seat and mirrors and can't stand hearing what he calls "music" come blaring from my speakers when I turn the key. I have a habit of turning everything off (heater or a/c, radio, wipers....)before I turn the car off. He doesn't... it startles me everytime! And I can't stand driving his dog, which is what I'm stuck with when he takes mine.

I love my car but i have no probs with my bf driving it, he knows lots about cars and has driven pretty much everything under the sun (from cars to 4x4s to boats to trucks) and he drives her (my car) fine. My MUM on the other hand is a whole different kettle of fish. She drives an auto 4x4 - it is the latest model so is VERY easy to drive. My car is manual and very low. Its is only 4 years old so still easy to drive but she hasnt owned a manaul in years, and never a car as low as mine. Once i was parked behind her and she need to go get something from the shop and said she'd borrow my car. before i could give detailed instructions as to how you need to be VERY careful driving in and out of drive ways she was in my car and out of there. I almost bursed into tears when i hear my exhaust firstly scrap on the road when she pulled out of the drive way (we have a steep drive) and then she scraped the bottom front on the drive lip. i had to walk away as visions of gear crunching filled my mind. needless to say, she hasnt driven it again!!  |

I share my parents car so I don't really care. Altho I do kinda cringe when my dad takes the explorer down to Atlanta by himself. Our other car is totalled because he got into an accident and I am sooo scared that the next time he goes down there he'll get into an accident.  |
