I can't get a break...

My frikkin car is pissing me off. First problem was a couple months ago, bearing went out in the motor, so i had to replace it: $3,000. Then i got in my car the other day and i wouldn't go into 5th gear, the synchronizer went bad, another $700+. I know it probably doesn't sound like alot to some of you guys, but when you are 17 and have to go to school thats alot of d@mn money...

And i was wondering, does this stuff happen often or do i just have the worst of luck?

welcome to the joys & responsibilities of owning a car. My advice: learn how to repair & maintain it yourself.

There is very little reason that a main bearing would just spinout. You have to have failed component somewhere. Usually, there is a reason that components fail.

And what did you drop 3 grand on? Just having the old motor rebuilt? Man....for less $$ than that you could've gotten a ready-to-go crate motor from GM Motorsports (out of Jeg's or another similiar source) that would be considerably stronger than the stock 5.7L in that Z28. (This is assuming that your motor was stock or somewhere near it...)

No, the motor wasn't exactly stock...And i did buy a new motor, but most of the money came from having someone else put it in...

What would make it spinout then? And i can maintain it for the most part.., but taking a transmission apart when u have football practice and have to work everyday isn't happening
