That's a good spirit there Rudy. With that Government issue plain jane sedan you are going to need it.

Put your hand hard up against your forhead cause like,,,,,

I mean ,,,,,man,,,,,you could have had a V/8

On the plus side, your SC Crossie is going to really seem fast every time you drive it.

Franc, remember that this car was made pre-Government Motors so I didn't feel too bad buying it. As far as a V8, I'd have been hard pressed to find something worth having for my net net into this vehicle plus the whole reason for this car was better gas mileage and getting something with 2 more cylinders would probably mean the same if not worse mileage than I got in the Jeep. You are right though that this will make the Crossfire feel that much faster though.

When the Feds show up at my place they are driving those. That's what I meant by Gov't issues.

Just razing you pal. Where you are the winter roads demand a FWD and you want one that isn't going to eat your fun money. Or bother you too much if it gets dirty.

Rock on till the spring comes.

Rudy, just a word of warning. If any of your friends ride in the back seat,(and decide to use the rear seat adjuster) tell them to be very careful.
I tried one out at a New Car Show when they first came out, and it laid my finger wide open, and I started bleeding like a stuck pig (no pun intended). Needless to say the model standing next to the display wasn't very happy with me bleeding all over the place, and I actually had to go to the shows 1st aid station to get it taken care of.

Wouldn't that make it a Malibu MaXXX?

They want to know what the blue flag with the white star flying in my front yard means. It shouldn't matter because it is properly flying under the Stars and Stripes.

But, it bugs 'em.

tickles me to death.

(mabe I shouldn't use the "D" word.)

Well, it kinda makes sense... it's for collectors of German cars masquerading under other brands.
