Last night, on a major north-south boulevard, a Pontiac G8 in an orange color. It looked fine at night. I don't know if I'd like that orange in the daytime. Nice exhaust note.

Crazy question: Do you listen to your engine with the window down?
trinacriabob replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
Theoretically, isn't an in-line 6 supposed to be sturdier and quieter than a V-6 (at least, in the past)? The 4.0 Jeep L-6 is another one of those bullet-proof legacy engines, right? -

I think this might be my first "yes/no" poll. I like to put the window down, when going over a narrow bridge or driving in a narrow drive between 2 buildings, so I can hear the echo of my engine's sound. I got into this by listening to the awesome sound of a small-block Olds Rocket V8. As for my current car(s), I have to admit that the Regal sounds really hushed for its high mileage. Do you make it a point to listen to your engine's sounds echoing back at you?

Did you do it, or take it in? How much was it...(for a "drop&drain" or a flush)? Regal: October: fuel filter change November: spark plug change - about 263K December: trans fluid change (drop and drain) - about 265K Also, wax job in November LaCrosse: this weekend: LOF Also, wash only this weekend

Thanks for the link, moltie, and the info on co-existence of various versions, von. Good Gawd, '75-'76 LeSabre, that's when they were still huge, before the '77 slight "downsize." The little 231 looked funny enough in '76 and '77 Regals. It looked even funnier when the car was a loss leader (ad special) with NO air conditioning and you could see the pavement beneath all around the engine compartment!
