1988 Pontiac 6000 review from North America
"For sale, $50, blind chicks included!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything is wrong with this car!
The hood was bent, so I took it off.
The heater no longer turns on when the motor gets up to temperature and it almost overheated.
My tool box will not fit in the trunk without the lid wide open. Also my driver side mirror no longer works.
The tires on the car are not all the same size, so it handles like a bent shopping cart from hell.
The seat no longer moves back.
My block is covered in oil sludge from my valve cover leak.
The gas gauge is off by about 1/4 tank.
Intake system is inadequate and the exhaust system has broken off where the catalytic converter is joined to the down-pipe, and the down-pipe now drags along the ground.
The headlights are missing in action.
The horn to warn people of the presence of such a hot-rod no longer functions.
The car is rusting as fast as 80's music is going out of style.
This car gets started with a screwdriver. Also the car is no longer matching with red Oldsmobile steering wheel and Buick pimping granny hub caps.
General comments?
I work at a junkyard in Saskatchewan near Saskatoon. And this is one of the better yard cars we have! The car runs half decent except for a loud rod knock that you cannot hear at 5% throttle due to the open flow exhaust. This car will never be street legal again and will never see an oil change! This car will never get stolen. But I have to admit, blind chicks think it's cool!
