    It will be interesting to see what they do.
  2. A Horse With No Name
    Among the people I work with, many are saying they will not buy another GM vehicle. Kind of sad, current lineup is pretty good.
  3. A Horse With No Name
    Another thought for a decent cheap car could be a diesel Benz of older vintage. I have an acquaintance that runs a garage that repairs them.. Once you get them sorted, they run forever. However, i do not think this is at all what Balthazar is looking for. I still say Town and Country FTW....
  4. A Horse With No Name
    The number of recalls is not leaving a good impression in the buying public. But I would not say they are struggling to survive.

    Check out a VW TDI wagon (Golf wagon) pre 06 with a manual-6-7 thou, but will hold value forever and run forever with proper maintenance. Throw timing belts and basic maintenance at them and they will literally run 400 or 500 K. Diesel means 48-50 MPG. Would depend on your son being able to drive a manual though as the automatics are not good in that era. The used car market is stupid. One either needs pretty much a sub 2K beater or to spend real money.

    How hard would it he to rebuild the GP with parts from the pick and pull? Used airbags can be tested. Market for anything under 5k seems really iffy, IMHO Again, good luck! 03 Passat was from a bad era of VW for that car. Run, do not walk.

    ...and in reply to both Z06 and Dfelt, this just backs up what I said about GM chassis engineering.
  8. A Horse With No Name
    Interesting how that works at both ends of the market, in both the range Rover and the 500 Abarth.

    Alas, the rotary is zero cylinders but is probably dead forever. However, I think GM will bring out a full electric that will be much better than the Tesla at some point. They have too many good engineers on staff not to,

    Sorry, i meant C1 58 to 62, long day, and nice catch. One more thing to think about, to finish first, first one must finish. Given how much more reliable the Corvette is than a Ferrari, Cmicasa might have been alone on that starting line against the F430... Absolutely. I want a C3 really badly for some reason.

    Dogs are fantastic, I sued to not like them at all but I am liking them more and more all of the time now.

    www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/08/14/0814-Ohio-teen-arrested-for-kicking-cat-in-viral-video.html I hate it when people do this kind of crap....

    Keep us posted, looking forward to more of your review.
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Sweet!
  15. A Horse With No Name
    Very awesome read. I actually like the C2 from 58-62 the best of all corvette Generations, but that does not have near the power of the later cars. Thanks for posting this, excellent read.
  16. A Horse With No Name
    I think given the drop in real wages in our country and the increasing urbanization, this is the wave of the future.
  17. A Horse With No Name
    Absolutely!
  18. A Horse With No Name
    On the contrary, more like coming with raher than going on four and a half. In all seriousness, given the nature of things, I am sure that he will be a future senator.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Sounds like the GP would have a fantastic future as a 24 hours of Lemons car if you were so inclined. I no longer am able to race, mostly because of children in college. Good luck to you in your car search...
  20. A Horse With No Name
    In your price range, methinks that 85k GP sounds fantastic. You might also look into Chryco minivans...insurance is ungodly cheap, parts available everywhere, and wide selection on the used market.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Methinks cmicasa has it right when he talks about the handling of GM vehicles. Far better than Ford, Chryco, and often better than BMW.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    Nothing so long as you install a stroker kit for optimal results.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Very true on the Passat driver thing.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    And this is just stunning....well done GM!
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Actually, this, the Durango, and the RDX are the class of the SUV set IMHO. Although I would have a Grand Cherokee before any of those, I think.
