I’m surprised no one has mentioned a good old fashioned insurance scam. Abandon the car at the airport, report it stolen and collect the insurance money.

Only thing I can think of is:

I can confirm. I have a 2000 SL1 with 220,000 miles as a commuter. The paint is sun baked, and it’ll need tires soon, but the damn thing starts every time and does it’s job.

Right on.

I’m going to disagree with you there. The 3.8 may not be a hot mill today, but 20 years ago it was good enough to give a V-8 Mustang a run for it’s money. My 18 year old daughter has a 2000 V-6 Firebird with 90,000 miles. It’s smooth, has reasonably decent get-go and gets really good mileage. It may not be cool in…

I’ve been using STP filters lately... How good or bad are they?

So, i imagine some of the newfangled high tech shit in cars will be more affordable in the years to come. New cars still suck compared to older, simpler, less…

Aren’t people on probation already under travel restrictions while on probation?

Inflight fires became common occurrences when smoking was allowed on flights. Time to ban the booze, now that drunk idiots are becoming more and more common.

ALl that rust around the coolant lines just screams garden hose water with no antifreeze. 

This thing is a tragedy waiting to happen.

This is my 2000 Saturn SL1. This is how It was when I bought it. This is a pic from the CL add I saved to my phone from when I was car shopping. It has 215,000 miles, no power steering, or power anything else. The A/C works well Though. I might decide to give the paint a freshening this fall, then again I might not.…

If a butterfly in China can start a storm in Kansas, then dag burnitt, roundabouts in PA can start tornadoes!
