Ever considered one of these 1959 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Hardtop Sedan/Convertible

Yep: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Tuktoyaktuk,+...c=addr&om=1 Another good one: Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia

Well, It'll be a purchase, not a lease, and needn't worry about financing since it's gonna be an over the counter cash purchase... completely paid off when you roll of the lot... Car payments are such a bother, it's better to save and just buy it outright if you can.

Same engine and Tranny as Carbiz' Optra, so it would be similar I guess.

The car that CARBIZ posted (Optra5) is available in the states I believe as a Suzuki The Suzuki Reno to be correct. The Optra Sedan and Wagon are available as the Suzuki Forenza.

@ Ven I hope the dollar doesn't bottom out soon... then again the Liberals might get re-elected .

It might be cool to get one of those for the Cavalier... How much do you think it would cost?

Agreed... Your edits to the front make it look mean. Go for it.

Removed The Pinstriping! Do I get a cookie for spotting that, BV?

Just as well... The Wave of Mazda3 Break ins that hit Japan and Canada is now hitting Europe and the USA... Prepare for her insurance to got through the roof... I saw three Mazda3s today @ Chinook Center that had dented driver's side doors from breakins...

When it comes to ethnic food, I tend to stick to my Ukrainian Side rather than the Scottish side of the family... I guess that says something about the food.

As it turns out, it was the wheel speed sensor, '76 called it. It got cracked somehow, and during the rainstorm in Spokane, water got in and fried it.

That article is just bunk... High school was painful enough without everybody and their dog propagating a rumour that I was gay (FYI I'm Straight) because of my high pitched voice and lack of a g/f, and more female friends than average.

Thanks for the Suggestions, 'BIZ. The Venture payments are 497$ Mo, 36 Month/72K Km... It's got 57K Km on it now. The problem is that we prepaid the lease in Jan. 2005 @ the time assuming we'd just drop it on an early lease incentive on a similar 2008 Montana SV6 or Uplander, of course, things have changed since then and we no longer need a 7 passenger vehicle, or a 95L Gas tank (or want another lease for that matter). Also, I've found that I get a better deal buying a leaseback from the previous year than buying a clearance/leftover model. For example, The MAXX stickered @ ~27000$ but after some haggling, we got the same vehicle, +15K Kms, in January 2007, to 14500$, add 1500$ for the 6/160K GMPP... This being considered, most lease return Impalas have both the Plood and a Light Coloured interior, and even if it didn't have that, it just wouldn't change that the seats are so bad for my back. I'm not big on the 3.6L b/c it doesn't get great mileage... If an 08 Malibu would be considered, it would only be a lease on the hybrid model. That leaves the GP and Allure. The bonus for me in all this is that buying a lease return 07 Allure, we get to dodge that ass ugly new front end.. I much preferred the old one. You're not alone, either. Our Salesman of 16 years was gushing just the other day when the Malibu went in for an oil change, and paid him a visit, about how the new Malibus and CTS are just 'gorgeous'.

The Venture's Lease is up in January... It might be gone by December. I'm thinking no more van, we've already weeded out the Lambdas for poor fuel economy (we know someone who bought one and is averaging 14-15 MPG, The Equinox is a distant possibility but 95% Chance of a W-Body to replace the Van. That means Venture -> Leftover 2007 Allure CX, or GP GT, or Impala LT. Allure- 4/Year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty vs. 3 on the GP and Impala. Like the GP it has the 3800 vs the 3500 VVT which is a major selling point I think. I like the styling better on the Allure than the Impala or even the GP. It also has the best interior of the three IMO... Grand Prix- 3800 V6, 2nd best interior, 2nd best exterior, a little cheaper than Allure, factored in with Alloy wheels, JD Power Award Winner. Impala- Unlikely to say the least... If we go Impala, it has to be the 3500 VVT, an engine I don't at all like, for one, its reliability is not as proven as that of the 3800, for two, it's less fuel efficient than the 3800, Don't like the exterior styling, and with the black steering wheel and plood trim, the interior is ASS UGLY. We rented all 3 W-Bodys recently and the Front seats in the Impala were disgraceful!, bricks have better long term back support, and for someone who has back problems I couldn't sit in the car for longer than 1.5 hours without going berserk! So it looks like 1. Allure 2. Grand Prix 3. Impala 4. Equinox As for the Cavalier, well there's never a dull moment with that cookie. There's some strange things going on in the engine and it's getting progressively harder to start each morning, so if it does die on me, I'd be looking to replace it with: 1. Aurora 2. Intrigue 3. Eighty-Eight/LSS/Ninety-Eight 4. Century/Regal 5. LeSabre/Park Avenue 6. Bonneville 7. Alero V6 8. DeVille

This is not the way you get people to buy 'Bucky the Beaver' AKA the G6 GXP.

Sorry to hear that, 'Biz...

Oh, right... I forgot

Am I correct in assuming that after Rendezvous production is done, that Ramos Azripe will close?

I had a few teachers who were dyslexic, but they had developed the problem in their 20s... Then again, sometimes you just transfer your letters on your keyboard when you're daydreaming or somethings on your mind so don't automatically think it to dyslexia.
