I don't think it was the head gasket that was weak, but rather the head studs. That's what my instructor was saying, anyways. He also said the only way to do anything about it is to take the whole cab off, which seems a little excessive.

The problem with the 6L Power Stroke was that half of the engine was designed by one group, and the other half was designed by another group, and they didn't do a whole lot of talking to eachother. Also, the oil cooler is cast and tends to get plugged up with detritus, which is the main point of failure for these…

Woo. Go EUG.

ITT: No sense of humour.

I have a 14. One of the shiny new ones.

The only difference is, I get constant compliments on my 6. Seriously. Anyone who knows anything about cars wants to check it out. Is it perfect? Nope. But it drives better than anything else in its segment, has more toys for the money and looks great too. Helped that I got it in the awesome red, but still. The only…

Well, they fold up and go into the trunk. It's not like that's a permanent installation. Whether or not the owner does such is a different story, but that's how it's supposed to work.

Give them a mustache ride.

Because I bet that won't be nearly as reliable as a new car with factory parts?

It wouldn't have been arbitrary though, if that was the price it started out at.

I think my only issue with the aesthetics of the SLS is possibly the rear end. It just looks a little fiddly to me. But other than that, having spent some time around one, I feel it is quite lovely from all other angles.

Modern Corvettes aren't really paying homage to the original, and it would be very hard to do so, pay homage, without somewhat recreating the profile of the vehicle.

Missed a word in that, and that word was 'probably' nicer to drive, however, I would imagine that it is. Not everything is about raw performance anyways, and it is most certainly a nicer car than those.

Because I bet it looks way better and is a much nicer car to drive, plus 77.

Why did they make it $1,700,000? Why not $1,770,000?

You mean like this awkward, upright profile?

The same way you paint over any kind of steel, I would imagine.

Well, I'm from Oregon, and the bill found its way to me, so I imagine so.

It was. Automatic toll booths, too. Be expecting a bill in the mail in a few months.
