"A good pizza delivery machine!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator went out at about 70K.

I've gone through 2 sets of drive axles.

I feel like I have to change wheel bearings almost as frequently as I change the oil...

An idler pulley that the timing belt rides on disintegrated at about 90K.

General comments?

I've been delivering pizzas in this car for 3 years off an on. While I have had some problems with the front end, I suppose this is understandable due to the amount of abuse it gets.

The starter is holding up well!!

Overall I am pleased with this car. For a four cylinder, it was quit spunky in it's younger days. It's feeling a bit weak now, and is in bad need of a tune up.

It has the stock audio system with a 6 CD changer, which I am very pleased with.

This car is almost perfect for pizza delivery. It's small, quick

highly maneuverable, and easy to see out of from any angle.

Delivering pizzas will kill ANY car. I'd say, its held up remarkably well, given the circumstances.
