I managed to get it halfway around before they let go. Then I just sat there laughing.

I’ll stick without them, thank you.

Thank you for not ruining it with an LS swap.

Get Built Spirit back together, decide a massive burnout in the driveway is a great idea. Rev up, dump clutch, disintegrate diff, leave pieces of trans case and diff in the driveway, back on jackstands she goes.

Did that in my spirit when it was still an auto.

Great idea in theory, except the S&G seats are like a rock, I wouldn’t even force my kids to sit in those uncomfortable things. Between the S&G and the garbage 6-sp trans, they are the reason I won’t look at a new van.

I’m happy with a New Mini, although given they’re current trend, it will just be a heavier, more dull version of the outgoing van.

Back to the old days.

Don’t state real world, don’t ya know, we all live in the EPA’s fantasy world?

Now if it’s a Turbo/Manual mini, that’s exciting.

Not sure what fantasy land you’re living in that a motor that cracks off 30+mpg in 4000lb cars and can make well over 200k without issue is a boat anchor.

Sorry, I know how to control a vehicle if it shuts off, if you don’t maybe you shouldn’t be driving to begin with.

Maybe they hit junk after 05, but anything we’ve had pre-05 was bullet-proof.

A word please....

Sounds like you bought all the wrong GMs. We’ve never had anything but good luck. They’re bullet-proof to 200k or more.

If the Audi would have actually launched at the drop, instead of giving the Porsche a head-start, it would have been a much closer race.

I’ll take one.

It looked right on the Square-bodied cars, it just looks off on this.

WOW. My friends WRX averages 28mpg, was there something wrong with yours, because that seems exceptionally pitiful.

Can confirm. 96 caravan, rip at 78k.
