    • Argh.  That's too bad.  An Aveo would have had an interference engine.  When I lost a timing chain in my '84 Cutlass Brougham coupe 3.8 V6 with 160,000 miles, I was at the end of a ramp in Vancouver WA, there was an almost imperceptible shudder, and silence.  A tow truck came.  At the shop, they pulled off all the pulleys, also threw in a new water pump, put on the new timing chain, and buttoned it up.  I later sold the car to a really cool Catholic high school senior from a very nice African-American family in Seattle.  When the father met me at the AAA to do the paperwork and drove off, the exhaust note was like that of a car with less than 50,000 miles.  But my beloved car went to nice folks and I hope it served them well.  Forget those high-tech ergonomic seats!  Those plush Brougham seats made it the most comfortable car I've ever owned.
    • 2004, only 89K. My wife works from home, my retired mother kept it for years as a back up car, she drove my dads car most of the time until my father passed. I got eight plus good years out of it. Timing belt snapped.     
    • Yes! I do see some old Maverick, which we'd refer to as a "toad." I didn't know you had a Chevy Aveo.  What year and how many miles on it? Which part of it gave up the ghost? Yes, I remember your stories about your '78 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 260 V8 that you beat to hell and back.  My dad would have gone off on me if I didn't baby the cars I was handed down to make them last a long time, the first of which was also a Cutlass Supreme. In a way, I sort of liked one thing about that magenta colored AI Cutlass Supreme. The front modification from 1981 was referred to as the shovel nose grille.  The AI version keeps it slightly canted back, eliminates the shovel nose, and references the car to the full size Oldsmobile line-up.

    • My issue is the complexity over having an EV motor on the axel. I honestly do not get the need for this type of transmission. Software can usually handle adjustments to optimize efficiency.  This story nails it why the dual stage EV9 Motors are better than using an eCVT. The Kia EV9 Has Motors Unlike Any Other EV
