Why on earth anybody would be pissed to be going faster than the speed limit is beyond me.

I'm glad you got a GM car! It makes a big difference that you get a car that you are familiar with in general. Enjoy your trip to the US!

Hear Heer! To WHITE ROADS!

maybe you want too much for it. Not original engine is - money

Great color and my favorite wheels of that era.

I like bling bling wheels.

Wow, he has already stooped to the reverse the heat method! DAMN!

Hertz is only expensive if you don't plan smart and use their discounts. I got a Hertz rental for a week for under 150 bucks for a malibu.

After Enterprise screwed me hardcore and did nothing about it. I have switched to Hertz and am able to request a preference (GM only)

Reg, let me tell you this to counter your mainstream argument. My mom, who by no means is a car fan at all, said tonight about a dodge charger ad: "wow, that car looks really nice" I rest my case.

I guess this type of A/C goes right into the duct work rather then having to use an airbox split system like homes with A/Cs on the ground.

Just as long as you don't steal Chrysler's lame tagline "I am GM" LOL!

Synthetic oil tends to find places to "drip" out of the engine easier than conventional oil. If your car doesn't drip after you change over then you are cool.

Malibu, Impala, Fusion, Camary, Accord, Altima, Hyundai. You name it Enterprise has it.

what is a ROPO?

True. I used to work with these people. I know what their job is all about.

Just remember that the reps on the floor at auto shows are usually trained by GM people but come from companies like Gail & Rice etc.
