I hate my car....seriously. this is long.

im so pissed off right now. first i was putting in my friends amp in my car with his solo baric 12 cuz im pretty tired of no bass. so i hook the amp up and well.....instead of the GREEN POWER light coming on the RED PROTECTION light comes on. so im like FAWK! so i take out all the wiring, strip off the ends, recrimp on new connectors, check all the fuses, hook EVERYTHING back up and turn on the radio....then BAM! red light comes on again. so im like alright must be something wrong with the amp, then my car starts to idle weird....due to my positive battery cable not seating right on the battery. so i hit it with a mallet to seat it better (had to do this several times before), that solved that problem. so still no amp working right? right. so ok. my clutch is fawked up and makes the most *** damn annoying sound. at 4k rpm the clutch gets louder than it should be, even at idle its chattering somewhat i guess you can call it. so i have a clutchmasters clutch on order. hoping to have it soon this way i can also replace the damn tranny fluid @ the same time. so ok, thats super hella annoying.....then i notice white smoke from my exhaust. weird. its done that once before and my CEL came on, but it wasnt throwing a code, probably due to the extreme temp drop we had a few nights ago. then the CEL went off and stayed off. so alright. no white smoke for a few days, just noticed it today again. weird. i also notice a hell of a lot of water/condensation coming out of the muffler. i rub my finger along the inside tip of the muffler and bam, a hell of a lot of water. did this several times and it seemed as if more and mroe water built up.....so then i notice a puddle under my car. what do i see? the condensation leaking out of the b-pipe....hmm so whats this mean? exhaust leak? you bet. i noticed this happened the same night my CEL came on as well. i think since it was cold this morning, condensation built up inside the exhaust and was now all coming out. and i was working on my car outside and it was sitting for quite a while to gather all this garbage. SO ANYWAYS......now im pissed...i hate my car...i was totally rethinking the move to sell my car for a 5g 4dr but now im wanting to go back on that.
on the other hand i just feel like buying a thermal exhaust (turbo unit), doing away with the muffler and getting a JUN titanium muffler instead. this way no more worries with this damn half ass aluminized piping and no welds all over the place.
then put that on when the turbo arrives and be a happy happy tom. or i could just sell the car as is for about $7k.....either way it doesnt matter, one of the cars is going to be turbo on stock internals (B-series motor) and then all my time and effort goes towards the Supra when i finally FIND ONE.
and either car (hatch or 4dr) will be repainted w/ 5lug conversion and gunmetal ITR wheels OR black 16" te37's OR gunmetal 17" gtn's. or all 3. sounds like a better idea right? yes it does. and the 4dr gets a special front end with 6g sides and some sort of rear lip. *sighs* what a pain in the ass. please vote.
