stuff happens man. they arent 80s/90s toyotas that run on hopes and dreams for the rest of your life, but i think alot of the problems are people who dont know what they are buying, buy one and they just make complaint after complaint. the issue is probably something simple. clutch line o-ring could be split, who knows. the cars arent complicated at all, you just have to have enough sense to figure it out. ill tell ya, i get in and drive it 600 or so miles a week and never worry about it(except the oilpans location to the ground) once the vette wheels come off and i raise the car back up, ill worry even less. ---
