1997 Pontiac Sunfire GT

About This Vehicle:

Admittedly, this is my 3rd white one(4th Jtotal). The first, and nicest one was hit(and consequently run over) by an out of control offroad Jeep. Thankfully I wasn't in that one lol. But I got nearly nothing off of it before the insurance company got it. I probably took around a 3000$ hit in parts/'mods' on my claim :( The second one however... My oil pressure switch went bad while driving it, and was pumping oil right out of the socket. Even after adding oil as soon as the dash light came on, later in my journey home... Twin Cam go boom... :/ I came across this guy parked in a field by the road with a poorly Sharpied for sale sign on it for 800$. It was covered in pollen so much I actually thought it was a dirty silver one lol. The guy who owned it thought there was a major electrical problem, but it was just a case of a rotten battery pan messing up the ground and shorting out the alternators. 200$(and 1 wire, 1pan, and 3 free lifetime replacement alternators later lol) I have 0 complaints.
