"This car is a great investment."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My T-Racer has burned a little oil since the day I bought it. I can smell the oil in the exhaust, so I know the rings must have dried out while it sat before I bought it.

The exhaust has a hole in it, which makes it loud inside.

The air-conditioning needs to be recharged.

General comments?

This T-Racer is surprisingly quick for what it is. It's no mustang, but it's weight is light enough that a four cylinder is sufficient power.

This car is very reliable and is great on gas. My last truck got eight miles to the gallon, this gets thirty-five.

This car is just crappy enough to not draw attention, but solid enough to be a nice ride.

This car cost me five-hundred dollars and was worth every penny.

T-Racer.

Cute.

Well, if it makes you feel better about driving it...

Rings don't dry out. They do wear out. Valve stem seals harden after a while and stop sealing.

On your car, one or both of these could be causing your oil burning.
