"A fast, miniature Dukes of Hazzards car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car sat for about 2 mos, and has a bad heater core along with a faulter temp gauge. I was driving along the freeway, and for the first time since I've had it, it overheated and died. The next morning, after letting it cool enough to start to bring me home, I noticed the oil had the makeup of a blown gasket with anti-freeze in the fluids. The car still run's, but dies often when stopped and in drive.

General comments?

Fantastic car! It has been raised and has 18" Grand Am Radial G/T tires and 15" Chrome Rims. A flowmast exhaust has been added too, and I have an equally awesome stereo system. I love this car.

Why did you spend all your money on things that really don't have anything to do with the performance? A nice stereo is fine, but why not repair the engine instead of buying "Performance" parts?
