oh man thats IT the mustang has got to go i dont care what i get for it its gonna go this week

i was driving down the road and at the exact time the window regulator broke and the side skirt FLEW OFF THE DAMN CAR

so the window SLAMS down into the door and when i slow down cuz it scared the hell out of me i hear a BAM and look in the rear view

the damn skirt litterally flew off i walk back and get it to see if its salvagable and guess what?

FORD USED PLASTIC TRIM CLIPS TO HOLD IT ON i kid you not you know those push clip things that hyundai used to hold the door sill thingy on? yup that was holdin my sideskirt on


so i snap it in place and hope for the best(no room to put it anyware else) and make it to the hardware store so i can get some bolts and nuts to hold it together

and then

when i turned the car back on i get a check engine light for a camshaft position sensor

oh man i want to burn this b**** down

oh man i hate this car
what imma gonna do is reset it and see if it comes back on ive replaced the camshaft position sensor once about 2 years ago on this car....im starting to wonder if this car has a tooth off in timing which would explain the recent problems ive had with the car...

oh and btw the next stupid thing with this car

the car is a 1994 model which means its OBD1 and yet ONLY a obd 2 scanner can work.... i tried a obd1 scanner and nothin

try a obd2 scanner and voila! i get a code
