@TexanIdiot25 - can't heel-toe downshift with big feet: Also the various gauges being their own unit is hardly new- my CST10 is done the same way. Each gauge is screwed to a back plate.

The image of your friend, bending a BMW wheel, with a mohawk, big arms, and a cigarette is the most perfect fuckin image ever.

@87CapriceEstate picking Butternut Squash: My parents were pretty stand-up people. Bought a '91 Tempo since at the time the stable of cars was a 396 powered '74 Camaro, 80s Grand Prix, An El Camino, and a lifeless '50 Chevy. Not a single family car.+

@stephdumas: This technology has been worked on since well before the Geely ownership.

I'm told by my eurofriends that Fiats are the Chrysler of Yourope. Laughable reliability and build quality. The 500 was a big step for Fiat, but that's all we pay attention to— never mind their other models that may come here.

@PolishPerson309: You'd be surprised at what a good company can do for you.

Shouldn't use the run-of-the-mill companies for these cars. They don't give two fucks for classics. Honestly, once your old enough (they don't insure younger drivers/owners) get Grundy or any of the other enthusiast orientated companies. They will usually cover the car right. Because they deal with such a small number…

My headlight seals are leaking.

@Dirt Pirate: Jonny Lieberman would like to have a word with you.

Charming tale, chap!

Makes sense why Chrysler has been so behind for years.

@suss6052: Read my original comment, never did I say it was the Zeta platform.

@CABEZAGRANDE: If it's not so hard, get a job at GM and tell them how it's done.

@suss6052: The current Sigma is heavily based on the Zeta platform. Even your own source confirms it:

@pauljones: The CTS uses a version of the Camaro's platform. Also, the G8 used it too, and dealerships still must provide parts for them.

@CABEZAGRANDE: They have to do a lot more testing for reliability purposes, and for various regulatory purposes. They've got to make it last over 100,000 miles, a tuner does not.

@Ben Wojdyla:

@athf_bum: Meanwhile, I can still sit on the fender of an Escalade and put my feet on the frame rails.

@Achieve: No, the Duramax outperformed the 454 when it came to raw torque. The 454 was used in medium duty and RV drivetrains for a long time because of it's reliability, power, torque, and relative cheap cost to maintain (compared to diesels which get more and more expensive each year). The big block was a very…

@Ben Wojdyla: I'm very skeptical for the long run. And Ford trucks are already notoriously difficult to work on compared to the Dodge and GM trucks. The extra complexity is not appealing.
