The drivers seat doubles as a rocking chair...

Ah! And the dealer who sold it to you tells you there's nothing wrong with it/nothing they can do.

Re: You know you own a 7thgen when...

the compliance bushings are gone again. and the sway bar endlinks goes the next week. After you do that, it's the top mounts bearings just after you re-align the car
Then the guy next to you in the traffic sign asks if you have a turbo and starts revving.

And it clunks.

I have a MT, but i am freaking worried that my A-transmission will go out and die cold

Every time to take your car to a shop for something the mechanic tells you, "sorry to say, but you have transmission problems".

Re: You know you own a 7thgen when...

I'll bring it back to a realistic level though.

You start the car and for the first 10 minutes your RPMS bounce from 1000-3000. After that gets straightened out the car stumbles at every stoplight unless you hold your foot on the gas pedal, slightly

Another:

For the first 10 seconds of running the car it blows white smoke out of the exhaust, and it blows coolant out of the overflow. But it ISNT a headgasket damnit... it's been checked!
