I had a racetruck which, and I swear to this- the piece of crap would run for two weeks, and then I had it on blocks for two weeks.

There was no end to the work. Head gaskets would burn up, tranny trashed, starter goes, then the solenoid while I think it's the starter, the driveshaft snapped in half, the alternator and belt even broke at one point. Tires popping. Windows unable to be rolled up or down. Headers burst. Rusty gas tank. Clogged fuel pump. Oy.

I rebuilt that stupid motor probably 4 full times. Chevy POS.

By the end of it's expensive, miserable life, I was actually starting it every day by jamming a screwdriver into the solenoid to jiggle the alternator.
