My car has completely dead shock absorbers. Feels like a moving trampoline. Wheee!
I've even considered finding stiffer springs to make a car less of a boat and more of a pogo stick.
Long trips doesn't cause any problems to these cars. My Toyota has travelled to Saaremaa in single day without troubles, despite having a broken thermostat valve and keeping constant speed of 120km/h. It was hot, but kept on moving. And it didn't blow any steam!
Yes. This weekend I'm going to paint it solid red with a paint roller in order for it to pass technical inspection. After that I'll either sand it down a bit, for the car to look as shitty as the bonnet looks like now, or drive it until the paint come off by itself.
I just wonder if it will pass on first try, as the whole front end was zip-tied together after my cousin borrowed it and hit a truck. A shitty car, but its reliability and low fuel consumption is what prevents me from throwing it out.
