Originally Posted By: dailydriver I think it looks VERY good, although I would have kept the tail lights round/ovoid just to differenciate it from the 'corporate Chebbie look'. I'm not so sure the much anticipated (and expected) retro split rear window would have looked right on this style...

Glad you got 'er figured out. Looks like an enjoyable car. Ever peek at that TB/Confirm if it has ever been changed?

GHT forget the oil and everything else right now and focus on your problem that you are still having. Apparently you took it to Sam's and he replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor (CTS). Yet this did not and he did not fix the problem. This would make me suspect of his shop and personally would make...

I've bee looking at how to do struts on a car, and ran across some of the "procedures". One or more in particular is downright dangerous and several of them do not even list a spring compressor in the tools list even when the steps say "remove springs". It is like someone who has never done it...

Just saw this. Like what the heck!? Darn o darn. This is very troubling news, I cannot wrap my head around it. The world just got to be less enjoyable by another notch again.

Dallas cops won't even look twice at you and won't be bothered to look for stuff like missing cats, that's what the inspection places are for, and with out of state plates nothing you have to worry about. Outside of Dallas proper, about every other teenager has a an obnoxiously loud, souped up...

Heck, I would settle for some of the GPS's just getting the restaurant in the correct location and not 1/2 a mile away and on the wrong side of the freeway.
