Default Plastic in car falling apart.

So my car is nearing about 15 years old. Its a 94 bonnevillle ssei with only 70k miles on it. But various plastic parts are breaking in it. Like vents and hinge parts. I was wondering if there was any hardcore superglue or epoxy that I could use to glue them back together or if there was another solution to my problems.

Car is built of shitty plastic, get rid of it.

A good quality two-part epoxy should be all you need.

They may be built of shitty plastic, but I've ridden in one, and damn that's a quick car.

It's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

At least the Cadillac V8 is. 275hp/300ft-lbs

One of my buddies dad's has one. That thing sounds like a fucking beast, stock.

But apart from the amazing noise and power, transversal V8. Blah.

Still a pretty cool car.

a vent on the interior should be made of steel. Steel from a supercharged v8.

Hell yeah! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Eh?

A dashboard cracking if its made of rubbish plastic, fine, you can accept that.

Vents breaking? Thats just ridiculous.

That's a fair point. I actually misread it as him saying plastic in general was shitty. My hilarious outburst was therefore uncalled for.

Hahaha, that's the idea!

I agree that they are deceptively fast cars, I had the opportunity to drive one a while back.

The 308 had a transversely mounted engine too.

Look what a piece of shit that ended up as.
