thanks for the welcoming. somehow im still hoping to contribute some ideas to the site or anything (like what i ask myself..)

does anyone know if getting my back passenger door to open is a good DIY that isn't so risky (don't want to mess up too bad..) ? it wont open!

I wouldn't do a DIY on that... that isn't too common of a problem to need a DIY write up. BUT remember how you do it... that way if you see someone post up with that question, how to open their door, You'll be able to help them out. :thumb:

but thats just MY opinion. 8)

man ive been slacking on it as of the past week or so. what i really want is to fix my muffler since its cut from the pipe.. the car is sounding too loud right now. and my auto trans doesn't shift correctly in the morning (even after warmup for 5mins or so). i have to full stop for a bit then it will either grind or start doing its thing. that trans oil under the hood looks like the previous owner put water in it or something.. :cry:

ill probably post different angles of the car later if anyone cares to see haha. thanks a lot for all the welcoming so far its fun here

Ofcourse we care man,you might find that if you are having a problem with the car and you post it here someone else also had a similar problem and they have the solution.just like me I've also been lazy and haven't washed my car in days lol
