Ocnblu
As of tonight, the aforementioned distributor has been installed. Now to get to battery charged to see if it actually works... I have a feeling I wasted $80.

I agree. I ought to not respond to such asininity.

"I said MARCH, young man!"
Nothing you guys would get off on... a cute little 97 Tiburon and a cute little purple Neon coupe. What? I'm becoming desperate.

That Eighties Funk
Eh... Though I will admit, if it weren't for $h!ty build quality, reliability issues(I'm many of you will disagree, but my family's track record speaks for itself), and overall being just $h!ty... They weren't bad cars. Driving the Sunfire back to back with the Cutlass and and its like stepping into an Aston Martin by comparison.

Gas Prices in the USA to rise 30 cents a gallon in the next 30 days
Every time you've posted about gas prices, it turned out to be false speculation. Gas never did hit $4 per gallon, or even $3.50 per gallon like the speculation you posted a while ago said would happen. Gas has still yet to hit the level it was at 2 years ago around here. I'm not too worried. However, gas would need to be $.50 a gallon to justify the fuel economy of the Cutlass.

Industry regulation question
Now those, I completely like and are far more useful than what the regulations call for.

COBALT SS turbo
17 seconds on a 2 mile track? Yeah, quite a bit. 17 seconds on a 14 mile track? Hardly much. And Again, the MS3 competes more directly with the HHR SS, not the lighter, lower slung Cobalt SS. Same basic drivetrain as the Cobalt, but a similar bodystyle as the MS3. What happens? The MS3 beats it, with a 4 second advantage. That amounts to them being pretty equal. You guys seem to be forgetting that this is the Nurburgring... a 14 mile long track. That's only about a second for each mile. Doesn't exactly equate to blowing the doors off of someone, regardless of what the two cars are.

COBALT SS turbo
13 second difference on a track that's 14 miles long is not that substantial in all honesty. The MS3's actual time was 17 seconds off the Cobalt SS (but 4 seconds faster than the HHR SS) and still not that much. Being faster on the Nurburgring is one thing. How many of us are going to be making full blown runs on a famously difficult German track on your daily drive? None of us. In the real world, it's not all that much faster. Using MT's figures, the SS is .1 second faster to 60 and .2 seconds faster in the quarter mile. Top speed wise, it has a 5 mph advantage. It's also what... one or two hundred pounds lighter? Fuel economy figures not far off for the MS3 at 20 city, 28 highway. If I were in the market for these two cars, I'd probably choose the SS because it is naturally more appealing, but I'm not going to sit here and try to say it "blows the doors off" of whatever's on my mind, especially a vehicle who competes more directly with the HHR (and beats it). Are you (and others) on something? Absolutely. It's called GM Kool-Aid and I believe it's specially spiked with Vodka for C&Gers.

COBALT SS turbo
A good drive, yes. It doesn't "blow the doors off" of MS3's, though. There's a difference between being slightly faster and blowing one's doors off.

Industry regulation question
If you ask me, these regulations need updated. Side marker lamps are eyesores and aren't as useful as they use to be.

09 ACURA RL
Again... Infiniti is Nissan, too. Just because the product is more desireable, per se... Doesn't make it any more "distinct". Most Infinitis are foreign market Nissans and most Acuras are foreign market Hondas. There is virtually no difference. I do believe you lack some reading comprehension skills.

Should GM Move It's Global Headquarters?
For real. Give us more vehicles like the G8, CTS, and Malibu across the board and suddenly, there's no need to fight some silly stigma.

I test drove a Toyota...
I have no idea what you guys are seeing in this interior. The Matrix I sat in was a huge downgrade in every way possible. Materials, fit, finish, ergonomics, even the design while highly similar wasn't as attractive.

G8s are finally shipping to dealers
I'm not too close to the coast... but hopefully one dealership within a 50 mile radius gets one in the next 6 months. I think it took about a year for the GTO.

Sounds like my Cutlass, but faster!

Maybe you haven't noticed.. They share interiors. It's not a myth, it's quite true.
