The End of my Corolla....

The End of my Corolla....

Well, my '97 Corolla did it's last run. I blew my engine for the second time with in less than two years. The mechanic that fixed my Corolla went out of business, what a shitty work they did to my Corolla. I blew my engine about a month and a half ago and been riding w/ my brother, Honda Accord 2000. Well, I was thinking of I should get it fixed one more time. I've decided, after lots of talks w/ close friends, to buy another car. I've thought about turning to the dark side, Honda, since my brother's car is really good. Well, my Corolla is in the shop, being fixed by my parents since I gave them my car. I bought a new car. I'm now driving a Scion TC 2006, gun metal color. My Corolla will ride again a few more times when it's fixed, from my house to my work, till it moves to it's new home in Orlando. Bye Corolla, thanks for the happy times........

hey man... good choice on your new car. broke thing goes away and new thing comes in... that's how life is. congrats on your new car and sorry about your old car.

how in the hell do people keep blowing their motors??? the motor in that car is freakin BULLETPROOF for chrissakes!

Driving it at redline all day long thinking that it's an F1 car? Like the retard that lives down the street from me with his new Honda, drives it at 6k rpm past my house (not even WOT, just coasting at 6k rpm) all the time....

i suppose that would do it...idjits...

Well, just for a little info, I don't drive my car like an F1 car. I know the power of my Corolla and I know it ain't no F1 car so therefore I won't even redline it. I was actually thinking of changing my engine a while back before my engine blew up the first time. The first time my engine blew up was after I switched from regular motor oil to synthetic, thinking that I might be able to make the life of my car longer. See, my Corolla has more than 175,000 miles on it. For three years stright, I would drive it to South Carolina at least 4 times a year, that's where my ex lived. Well, I guess the flushing wasn't that good in my Corolla and the pistons blew. The second time it blew, after it was worked on by this shop which is now close, the guy claimed that he changed the pistons to make it a turbo ready engine. He claimed that he did all the necessary cut and stuff but somehow in me, I feel that something is still wrong w/ my car. About a year and a half after, my car would smoke up like if it didn't have any water in the radiator and I knew then that I was leaking oil fluid. It came to as bad as me putting oil at least once a week. On my way home from the movies, I heard my engine w/ the same problem I had when my pistons blew. I know it was the pistons that's giving me trouble. I tried driving slow, hoping that I could make it home, about 5 miles away for my house, my engine pistons blew and that's the end of that story. My dad told me that he had a feeling that the mechanic did a crappy job. Thanks for telling me a little earlier, lol. Well, I know my TC ain't going to South Carolina or anywhere out of Florida. That's why they have car rentals for, lol.

Thnx for the congrats. I've had my eye on the TC since it first came out. It was either that or Tacoma, lol, but I didn't have the money for the truck. But if I had the money, lol, I would have gotten an Infinity G35, that damn Skyline, lol. But I love my TC and I will working on it as soon as I save up enough. It's tough cuz I just came back from CaLi for a vacation and then four days after, I bought the car. Then by the end of this month, I have to renew my annual pass for Disney World, damn right!!! LoL.
