Hahaha, not in this stock, worn out b20b... It's not even when I'm flooring it or at high rpm.

There's just so many things that are wrong with this car that bug me. I've been contemplating getting a motorcycle or a different car(keeping this one of course) for a few months now. It's not going to happen though because it costs way more than I have available at my disposal.

Heater valve is partially open even when I have the control all the way closed, so that's fun in the 75 degree and up weather, especially when it's 90 degrees out. Not to mention that my driver's side window is off of it's support track so I can't use it(the track is rusty and broke). The car smells of gas after a fill up(well, always, but a LOT right after a fill up), and I can't find any source of leakage underneath the hood or in the trunk. Other stuff.

This car is a project that I'm stuck using as a daily driver. I'm considering getting some brake pads for the wagon and thinking of using it. In the meantime hopefully I'll get to use my parents 1991 240 while I get some work done on the 142.
