Yeah, but Impys can take the abuse...I know a few co-workers who picked up an Impy like that, and neither one has had an issue yet... Usually Cavaliers take the heat too...unless it flips over..

I noticed usually with those cavs (95-05) the motors will last longer than the car itself does... A friend of mine drives an 03 Cavalier, which now has 215,000 miles on it.... THough I wouldn't rag too hard on Kia though, a neighbor down the street from me has 02 Rio with almost 140k on it, and he beats it pretty hard...and has had almost no problems with it...

Ah, Caprices are fun...but I would have to be in one in good shape. Every time I ride in one, the darn thing is on its last leg.. Have to wait until I'm in a one in good shape...

surprises you? I got to ride in a 96 Park Ave....and loved it! I'm not usually into "boats"...but there is something about it I just love... It was loaded, even with a moonroof.... If I could find a 93-98 with lower miles in could shape, I think the wagon would be gone in a second.... Has there been a car just surprised you? (good or bad)

Very true.... Lori shouldn't have to say that she is sorry....because I know quite a few at GM feel the same way... I don't think GM will realize that you can't please everyone...so make sure you take care of those that you can....

I'm not on welfare, I'm simply receiving financial assistance from the government.

Hmmm...not to sound like a suck-up, but I would have to say about everyone. I think it's good to learn and have an open mind about stuff...and I have learned quite a bit here.. I also tend to have quite the opinion on stuff....sometimes pro-GM, sometimes not. I just assume people think I'm crazy or something....

I would...but somehow I can't see a cavalier being a t!6ght wh1p$....

If the gas prices go sky high, I'm sure Iran will be to blame... I''m expecting gas prices to hit 3 bucks by the middle of april... The last 2 weeks here, gas prices now jump twice a week..

Amen to that...most of the cars that I know (like my wife's cav), the brakes just don't last...

Best wishes to you, and please take care of yourself. I've learned a lot from you, my friend.... Just don't forget to take it easy... :AH-HA_wink:

Hmmm..I gotta take a better look at the engine...noticed it was a bit shiney up front.... Hmmm...the Cav is rusting...so far most of it is at the bottom of the doors, hatch, though it is starting to eat away at the bottom panel... THough you do make a great point about fixing the cav.... The rust doesn't worry me as much as the fuel system, as it seems I'm replacing most of that...

Ok, I'm debating if it is time for a new 3rd car...... Have now: 93 Cavalier wagon, 3.1, 135k, needs new-gas tank(maybe line also) EGR. Rusty, but for the most part, very trusty... Considering: 98 Mailbu,3.1, 72k good shape for age..newer alt, runs pretty good.. dealership wants $4900...should be ablr to talk them into the low 4s.... Could get 600-700 for the wagon....and put a little cash down too... I was planning to fix the wagon, but this had me thinking: Fix the wagon, or just get the Bu'? What do you think?

It's no worse than than my neighbor telling how great his Ford Focus was regardless the fact it somehow likes to eat batteries... You are going to have people on both sides living in their own little world. It happens... Makes you wonder what happened to the old fashion just taking them for a test drive...YOU test em'..and YOU see what you think it best....Mags just don't do it for me... I've actually driven many new cars from both sides...and they pretty much drive the same..though we could go back and forth and the differences.... They are not as different as people lke to think...

Something tells me you know very little about marketing. Marketing sells cars-not much else. If you know how to sell something-heck, you could sell a steaming pile of poo. Marketing and image sells everything here..

I know how you feel...my first was a 87 Cav w/ a 2.0.... you could push it faster than you could drive it...

Sweet! I just saw one of those a few days ago... they look like a blast to drive....

That's what I thought too.. Makes me glad I have a winter beater...hopefully it will make it though the winter.... Stupid Michigan salt and roads..

Ouch! And they could still sell that Tahoe for full price if they wanted too... Or even make it a test driver...

I could happen...

Attention? Yes.... It's about due for a overhaul... And to really have a chance, they have to do a lot better than the 9-3 and 9-5.... They really don't compete all that well..... Put nicely, if GM can't do Saab right, they are better off getting rid of it....

Hmmm...

THere is still a very good chance that both Hummer And Saab WILL be gone. Postitive news= a better selling price. Don't let the smoke and mirrors fool you. GM does have plans to cut back- better it be selling Saab then dumping buick...

If you're already down to a Cobalt, what about an Aveo? After driving I do have to say it does have balls for a little car. You could get a yellow one of those.... Hell, get in in teal. Why not? Unless the Cobalt will be your fun car( like in my plan), it not sure it would be worth the money.... Just sell the STS for cash...and think about it... Oh, and yellow? Why not laser blue? Man, I love that color....
