"Great car, but will break your pockets!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first brought the car, I found out the block was cracked. And around the water pump, the block had a leak. I replaced the engine costing me $2000.

After a couple of months, the water pump went and the power steering pump. Cost me close to $300 to fix.

The service engine light won't go off.

The supercharger bearing has worn out and the manifold gasket is leaking.

The tire pressure light won't go off. I changed the brakes and now every-time I hit a bump in the road, I hear a clacking sound from my tires???

Also my biggest problem is that the car runs fine, then it just shuts off while you are driving. Why is that?? If so one knows... please inform me why that occurs. I've checked everything and still don't know what's wrong!!

General comments?

Overall I love the car.. it just costs a lot of money to keep it maintained. I've put a lot of money into the car, and I just want to enjoy my performance style car.

Have the crankshaft sensor checked. I had a Bonneville that would run fine then just die with no warning. After 5-10 minutes it would start again and run fine until the next time.
