My 2005 Chevrolet Equinox is still running fine, but then I've yet to put over 80,000 miles on her. Whitefang Don't fret. They weren't American cars.

Nope its Covid, Vaxing, Religon and Politics, cars are fully within the law to make fun of at will.

I recall hearing both of those back YEARS before I was old enough to even care about cars! Which means that when my age was still in the single digits! So how 'bout trying to figure a new one? like; "Fabricated Of Real Dung"? Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Off topic but my 14 Chrysler 300 is a great car. AWD, 8-speed trans with a sport mode, 3.6L V6… approaching 100k miles and haven’t had an issue where something leaked or broke down… still runs nice and smooth. I’m a Chrysler guy and my truck is always a Ram with a Hemi. I don’t do anything else when it comes to autos. Personal preference of course; literally YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 @fortyearspickn those SHOs are nice looking cars. Probably AWD too I’ll bet. Never got a chance to see one really up close and personal, but I like the larger sedans. Impala, 300, Taurus… can’t go wrong IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWD, dual turbos, AC/heated seats with massagers , 365hp. Geniuses in marketing have been cutting back on large sedans in favor of SUVs. Ford discontinued Taurus last year. I can fit 4 bodies in my trunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus : Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious FIAT: Fix It Again Tony I had a 56 ford in high school with solid lifters that seemed to need adjusting daily, so fix or repair daily was the rule of the day. And much later I had a few fix it again Tony's in the form X1/9's that I got quite good at working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Cars were a passion of mine up until maybe 8-9 years ago.... my wife got tired of being a 'garage-widow'. I had 7 cars at one time. Cadillac Seville, GMC Van, Mercedes 450 SL, Jaguar XJ-S (V-12), Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. ALL are gone now.... I drive a Ford Ranger (Mazda), wife drives a Honda CR-V that we can tow behind the Winnebago.....I NEVER have to wrench on my cars now!

Whitefang Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What year was that Seville Dan? If it was '92 or newer and had the Northstar engine, well.... I worked at the Livonia, MI GM powertrain plant that built that engine( I was one of the first 10 on the project) so I'll apologize for any problems it might have given you.

Whitefang Lessee.... the Seville was a '76. Mercedes was a '74. Jag was an '82. Dawn was a '54. Wraith was a '52 and the Cloud was a '58. I don't recall what year the Van was.
