No excuse. This is retarded, plain and simple. It's like not having the foresight to bring a first aid kit to a knife fight. Every car ever made will at some point leak/burn oil. It's inevidable.

I like the enlarged grilles. Passanger assit handle? Easily added by a professional for like $20.

True, this is very much a Honda/Toyota/Mitsubishi trait. Still high-milage FWD cars, domestic or not have serious weak spots in the front suspension where big BOF boats have to have a half million miles to be even near as bad.

For what it's worth an auto HURTS a BMW's resale. It's an oxymoron to have a 3-series slushbox.

It's true though, the US media does love to hate anything domestic, unless the manufacturer is based in the "land of the rising sun."

Awsome. You only live once.

You know me... I'd go with something from the 1970s or 1980s... 1. it only APPRECIATES in the semi-long run, not depreciates 2. RWD > FWD 3. cheaper parts 4. esier to work on 5. No emissions B.S. to deal with 6. More durrable (ever seen a A/G/B-body break off a wheel due to a CV joint like a FWD car?) 7. RWD, BOF cars are more fun to own/drive 8. RWD >>>> FWD

Awsome.... maybe I will buy a used CTS-V once they start hitting showrooms.

Reg: They are still thicker and more substantial than any Japanese sedan from that era. Plus if you plan on rolling this car over than either way you are going to die somehow, it takes a LOT to roll a car like this... the legth & width as proportionate ot the center of gravity makes it damn near imposible at legal speeds... all those wacky episodes of CHiPS aside.

Talk about redundant product though... why the f*** do BOTH these models exist? Is there even a differance besides styling and 2" of wheelbase length?

Yeah... I know where you're coming from. Last night Julie was making fun of me because I am the type of person who LOVES to drive anywhere and everywhere & at any time of day/night. However I sold & delivered the rims off my STS to a guy in the South Shore yesterday afternoon (3.5hrs. of traffic riddled highway) and earlier that morning I drove to Salisbury beach... (way NORTH shore) so I had already driven 250 miles, most of it through pounding rain... I was tired. So it took some motivation to go to the store to get a bottle of NyQuill but I needed it bad.

Sarcasm aside, those rims are wild. Ugly as they are I'd leave them if it was my car... those are pretty unique.

Makes the "Flock of Seagulls" haircut look masculine.

Damn Camino. I guess I have to step it up, I'm nowhere near that.

Skelaton

Good deal IF all the issues are fixed permanently.

Since I am bilingual there are a few words in the english language that remind me of random words in Slovakian & in some cases vice-versa. In Slovakian the word for skyscraper is downright scarry sounding.

Escape

Cool. I like it, good luck either way.

Now that is a story w/ a happy ending.

Fly is doing 85mph down some road in Florida on his way to a 24hr Toys-R-Us. :wink:

Why an 85 Camaro...? Why THAT year?
