Was just looking around online to see if it would even be worth it to start thinking about setting a little money aside to mod the Lumina a little bit. Nothing outrageous, was just thinking some decent suspension, nice tires, and curious what I could put on it for a little more oomph, but the LQ1 has zilch for aftermarket parts that I can find. No headers, no exhaust kits, nothing. And I can't even find any special shocks or anything for the damn thing, just what O'Reilly's has off the shelf. Starting to think it's a sign to just leave the car like it is and not worry about putting any more money into it than I have to to keep it running lol. It already has no working AC, so it's not like it's a car I plan to use much anyway. Only saving grace is the stereo I threw in it back in college to make driving it bearable, but right now it's sitting on 3 bald tires, AC barely blows and blows hot air at that, the shocks are pretty old and the thing bounces around like a bucking bull on a bumpy road (kinda fun actually
). EGR valve doesn't work on the highway and throws a code I ignore indefinitely. Burns about a quart of oil or more between every oil change. Pretty sure the coolant system has a good amount of rust floating around in it from the way the radiator fill cap looks. All around pain in the ass design to work on the engine to begin with. Front and rear windshield seals are shot and leak when it rains, paint is horrible, car is 3 different colors on the outside. The carpet is all stained to shit between my grandma spilling coffee and dropping lit cigarettes in it back before they gave it to me in 2006 and the leaking windshields that leave a nice musty smell in the car (starting to think it's molding under there or something). The underside of the dash is falling apart, the dash pad on top is curling up on itself from sitting in the sun, the seats are worn out and uncomfortable for long periods of time. Really the only saving graces on it are the stereo, the fact it's only got 116,500 miles, and people actively make room for me to pass because the car just screams "Pull out in front of me, I dare you, I could use another insurance check." 
Man, when I spell it all out like that, it sounds pretty dumb to put any money into it trying to make it a sleeper... Thinking I'll just focus 100% on getting the TA built and then sell it when I'm done. Maybe some W-body lover on their forum will want it for the LQ1

I think I finally got pissed off at something... Ive been brushing off one thing after another.. but now....govt assistance is paying for smart phones...texts and minutes....thats just bullshit.
15 years ago, (or whatever it was) it was like 5 bucks a minute, and only the rich had cells, and they were full size phones with bags on the end of them. It wasnt a fkn necesity then!
