My mom asked me why my chevelle was running rough. It has an 11:1 383 in it with a BIG cam.
I tried to explain to her that this is normal.
"But why is the whole car shaking?"

dude its definately ur magnetic confusticator. those are really a problem lately (they all blew up on Y2K). if u wanna fix it just add about a cup of sugar to ur gas tank and remove all the air from your tires then drive 50 miles away from home in a straight line.
does the trick every time!
oh yeah check your flywheel and bumper fluids too!

cross drilled brake lines, too funny.
I think my clutch belt is going out.
I think I saw the turbo fluid on a real post in an eclipse forum. Guy said he bought it and it wasn't making any boost so he was told by the previous owner that it needed turbo fluid.

you guys are all wrong. there's a detailed process listed somewhere in teh forum (i think in teh 3rd gen section). it involves using a woodwelder to make a shim for your interior, and that makes the cupholders stay in place better. and then you take a left handed screwdriver and put it between your left bank of rotors and your right bank of rotors, and the magnetic interference between the woodwelder that you shouldh ave left in hte car and the screwdirver will maek your car run much smoother.

Oh no dude! It sounds to me like your car is pretty much dead. Its not even worth trying to really fix the actual problem now. Don't worry, though, it'll be aight.
Just spring for one of these babies and all of your worries will go away.
...Well, at least then people will stop asking you why your car runs like ****!
