2 wheel drive not good in winter in ohio and there are a dog when it comes to power...

I'd go with a used Ranger, reliable as hell, good gas mileage (esp 4 cyl, 5 spd.) and you can get low mileage Rangers cheap. Everybody needs a truck every once in a while.

yea now that i think of it it was an old 4x4 engine like the 350

LS-9 will be a new revamped motor. Its similar to the LS-7 crank by design but I think the stroke is less and the spacings may be a bit different.

As for cars.

The Alero is the lowest in the Olds series in its years. But that 3.4 is nothing to sneeze at. Its still built good. They handle well and look nice. Affordable also :)

I think the Alero is essentially a Grand Am, while the Intrigue is closer to the Malibu, IIRC. Glad you decided against the Aurora, my friend bought a 96 and has shelled out over $2000 in the past 4 months in repairs (while still making payments). He finally has it paid off and the transmission is shot!

I would opt for an older Accord/Camry or Corolla, but I know how much foreign cars are hated on here :p

My Accord has just over 80K on it and all I've replaced are the battery and tires.

If I had to go GM I would look into some of the more reliable models: malibu, impala, etc. and avoid the grand ams/caveliers.

by Bwcad1 » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:21 am

Guess I cant get GM supplier discount...

We only make the 8.1 L Diesel crank and the LS-7 Crank (zo6) and soon the new LS-9...

But no supplier discount for us...
