Your worst car experience???!!!!

Whats your worst car experience?


Ok heres mine......i added some bolt-ons to my maxima and the day after when i was driving around doing some errands, the car started to over heat like crazy and the SES light went on. So i had to drive my car all the way home which was 10+ miles when it was over heating. i called up the dealership and asked them for some assistance the all the dude was saying "your warranty is voided!!!" "your warranty is voided" i was extremely ****ed off, the dude wasnt helping me at all. i spent the next day putting the oem parts back on and got the damn car towed to another dealership that was more willing to help.

The final result was the air temp sensor failed causing the fans on the radiator to work expremely hard. the radiator ended up splitting in half because the one of the fan went off center .......I got it covered all under warranty!!!!..but still the car hasnt been the same since the horrible day.


Cliff notes....**** happens

Not quite sure what mine is as it is currently unfolding...
Tech says differential whine=improperly meshed Diff Gears
i say could be tranny whine or thrust bearing or slipping clutch making noise

this isn't related to mechanics of the car, but...i was sober cab, driving on the way home from a party. my friend apparently had too much to drink, and threw up all over the car, covering himself, the seat, and the right side of my body in vomit luckily, this all happened in the G20, a couple months b4 i got the Max. but the smell never quite went away. anyways, i learned my lesson, anyone who has been deemed drunk by me is from my car now, including him. he never gets to ride in my vehicle again.
