WOW , you trust some guy that will check you codes for free ? Is he an ASE certified auto technician or some guy riding the parts counter . Older TBI engines have a great way to tell if the coil is bad , pull up the coil wire from the coil tower and if there is rust or white chalky residue on the tower , you got a bad coil , also look for oil or yuckies under the dist cap . You can ground A-B on the aldl connector , but this doesn't usually set codes . Let the guy at autozone make you a sandwich or something - leave diagnosis to REAL MECHANICS

No Nissans or Toyotas , they must cheaped out on the AD revenue at CD , GM buys lottsa pages .

Well , the GTO outperforms the Mustang in every performance category so it costs more , big deal

Friend of a friend just bought a TrailBlazer SS , but I am sure the RDX is way better . I keep hearing that GM just builds BIG trucks , ABC news expert analysis , Big trucks like the Equinox , Torrent , Vue , Rendezvous . Mainstream media does the Japanese advertising for free

In NBC's defense , the NASCAR of 2005 is not exactly the Nascar of 2000 . Lame is the word . Maybe they can make the races longer again , since ESPN has far superior coverage , and didn't seem to mind the old endurance contests

The EVO does not run the same numbers as the base Corvettes , when did an NSX beat any Corvette in any racing series or run superior numbers on a test track ? Your Jap-o-Centric views are leading to delusion , Amigo, the NSX does not sell well , because like Acura itself not selling well either , souless and underpowered does not make a luxury car maker . I live in the Greenwich connecticut area , you see way more Lexus and Infinti's around here than Acura . Good thing Honda moves out out all of those overpriced (overated) Civics and accords , something has to make up for Loss Leader Acura . Where is the V8 ? I will look up the NSX performance numbers , but the Corvette of the Eighties went undefeated in SSGT , banned by SCCA , I do not recall the same punishment due to the NSX , other than ferrying some old bag to hair apointments in Mamaroneck in the Ferrari Look Alike some automotive know nothing thought looked zippy , GM , even on it's perceived deathbed , does COOL better than Honda and their really bad Harley imitater motorbikes too .

another BS recall , most trucks don't have a problem and people who do are oblivious to it

the Alero that was a MUCH better car than the craptacular Grand Am (even though the Olds still had its own issues), [QUOTE] Still trying to figure why an Alero is all that different from a Grand Am - other then the Grand Am sold more , that is the only difference

What makes you think DCX is so healthy ?

Seems like a MORBID thread , I would like to think that big entreprenuers like Trump or Bill Gates could inspire to make GM on top again . There has been no other company in history as SET UP for failure by the combination of Enviromentalist Wackos , anti big business coms , Japanese enemies of the US , corrupt politicians and some of it's own nincompoops that GM had in its employ

yes but the Corolla is truly worth 3000 less than the cobalt . crappy little cheesebox. If Toyota can sell cars without incentives , isn't not raising your prices on your cars in 5 years an incentive ? The Toyota Fraud , everybody buys into it

Thats Right . Instead of GM cutting the good old divisions get rid of lame foreign cars . Mitsu is a dead man walking , VW quality did them in the last time . Half of Toyota hardly sells , Infinity is low delivery , Mazda can go , I don't see many Kias , Subaru does not move many vehicles beyond Connecticut and Vermont . That is a great idea , lose the imports

But those Hydroformed frames would work great on a full size car

until the silly catera , cadillac was all V8

much easier on Grand Am than a Grand Prix - 7 mm socket for the hush panel and a 5.5 mm flex socket for the resistor - 3 screws . There are tricks to the Grand Prix , I usually charge a half an hour , there bigger things to make money on

Corvette ?

Thats why we get the big bucks - screw ups may be a fact of life , but when they may cost you your life , all my brake pipe fixes get flogged on the highway then rechecked for leaks

Joe Isuzu is available

Exactly - The American People Love Tahoes Suburbans and Yukons , BY FAR THE BEST IN CLASS

Monte Carlo 1970- Died 1972

Toyota makes NOTHING class leading , unless you count boring and lame . Honestly what makes a Camry better than a Malibu or G6 - certainly not styling ? Transmission , oh the same Auto Trans I can get on a Mitsu Galant , Nissan Altima , Honda accord Aisyn . Is the Camry 4 cylinder better than the world beating 2.4 Ecotec ? Sorry . There is not a whole lot unique or world beating about toyota , just a psycho mantra RELIABILTY RELIABILITY , even when Toyotas are on the back of the tow truck just as much as everybody elses cars

OK , #3 forever , GO GM

[quote name='Cremazie' date='Oct 18 2005, 02:13 PM'] We have high taxes that pay for the programs. The government is not billing my grandchildren for Missiles and Star wars ABMs. The US Txpayer keeps you Pacifists safe from invasion . How Dare you spit on the people that keep you safe up there in that suburb of the United States

Only because you have your big brother down here looking after you . Who is Canadas biggest trading partner ?

Canada Has No Military - with the teeney amount of money they send on defense , it is basically the Boy Scouts - armed and a few planes . The massive taxation blasted on the Canadian system makes the US an attractive place to emigrate to . This is the United States , home of the rugged individual , we have proof that 40 years of a welfare state has basically destroyed us . We are supposed to be a constitutional state - where in the heck does it say in the constitution that my FIFTY PERCENT of my labor be spent on college tuition for suburbanites and needles for junkies , farm subsidies , horrible schools , unionized floor sweepers with better bennies than GM employees ever could hope for . And hey Canada , thank you for the EZ entry asylum system that allows terrorists to live really close to NY , Whiney losers .
