Because oil use and timing component issues on that vehicle are akin to the choice of wall art in Groverhaus.

My whole thought about that was "why that engine there?" It's not a terrible engine by any means but definitely a...unique swap.

When I still had my 2007 Civic Si I constantly thought about how, if it ever got totaled I wanted to transplant the drivetrain into the rear of a 2nd gen CRX. Festiva SHOgun style, that makes me feel much better about that idea.

My buddy's lease on his car is up this year and he decided he wants to replace it with a used Tacoma. It's a good idea, but timing wise this is not a great year for that. I'd be tempted to just go for a new one, assuming they're available.

I put a down payment on one at the beginning of April, found out a week and a half or so ago that my order was "picked up" and can expect it to arrive mid July. Don't know where you are, but there are very few on dealer lots where I am (Toronto area). If your friend doesn't care what model or trim etc specifically then they might get one sooner than I'm going to get mine. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 01:38 on May 13, 2021 |

This doesn't do what a overpriced pickup would do, priced about the same:      1980 RollsRoyce Silver Spur extended. This catches everybody’s eye. Vehicle is in great shape for the year and is licensed. Well maintained. $25,000 ono or trade for quad (s) or Side by Side. Not interested in motorcycles.

Its cool that this exists I guess, but  at that price. https://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/d/batavia-2003-olds-aurora-40-final-500/7320379158.html Thought this was neat though:  I'm sure any new car does this with all the touchscreens out there but seems like a rare thing to give you the day and date.

I'm always curious when people insert "technically" needlessly. Like, what do you mean, it's "technically Deep Cherry Metallic"?

Because it's "technically Deep Cherry Metallic" but as one can clearly see its Shallow Cherry Metallic.

When I was a kid we borrowed one of those from my dad’s boss once. He was so excited to drive it because it was “the last great American luxury car” or something. I just remember how wrinkly the leather seats were, how the vanity mirror had the lamest little tiny light in the world with a slider for either dim or dimmer, and how everything inside felt just as flimsy as any other GM shitbox from the era.

I worked at a GM dealership around 2005 or so and some dude brought in an Aurora with the 4.0L for some service. I don't know if he had like 40-series Flowmasters or just straight pipes or what but it sounded incredible and it took me a minute to figure out that the sound I heard was coming from a loving Oldsmobile and not one of the service tech's Trans Am.
