130, with clothes. Oh yeah.

It never stopped running besides for the dead battery, technically. Anyways, here's the good news... Started on the first try this morning after sitting for nearly a year. It's the opposite of the Cutlass. It runs great when you first start it. Replacing the distributor brought forth an improvement. However, the bad news is that its still not fixed. Either this distributor is ironically affected in the same way, or its something that the distributor would affect and throw a mechanic off. I'd like to get it back to another mechanic and have it gone over better. Oh well, it was nice to drive it again. Reminds me what it's like to drive a car that doesn't suck ass. Even not being fixed, it was 10 times faster than the Cutlass.

As of tonight, the aforementioned distributor has been installed. Now to get to battery charged to see if it actually works... I have a feeling I wasted $80.

My spell checker says yes.

I agree. I ought to not respond to such asininity.

Nothing you guys would get off on... a cute little 97 Tiburon and a cute little purple Neon coupe. What? I'm becoming desperate.

Eh... Though I will admit, if it weren't for $h!ty build quality, reliability issues(I'm many of you will disagree, but my family's track record speaks for itself), and overall being just $h!ty... They weren't bad cars. Driving the Sunfire back to back with the Cutlass and and its like stepping into an Aston Martin by comparison.

Every time you've posted about gas prices, it turned out to be false speculation. Gas never did hit $4 per gallon, or even $3.50 per gallon like the speculation you posted a while ago said would happen. Gas has still yet to hit the level it was at 2 years ago around here. I'm not too worried. However, gas would need to be $.50 a gallon to justify the fuel economy of the Cutlass.

Now those, I completely like and are far more useful than what the regulations call for.

17 seconds on a 2 mile track? Yeah, quite a bit. 17 seconds on a 14 mile track? Hardly much. And Again, the MS3 competes more directly with the HHR SS, not the lighter, lower slung Cobalt SS. Same basic drivetrain as the Cobalt, but a similar bodystyle as the MS3. What happens? The MS3 beats it, with a 4 second advantage. That amounts to them being pretty equal. You guys seem to be forgetting that this is the Nurburgring... a 14 mile long track. That's only about a second for each mile. Doesn't exactly equate to blowing the doors off of someone, regardless of what the two cars are.

13 second difference on a track that's 14 miles long is not that substantial in all honesty. The MS3's actual time was 17 seconds off the Cobalt SS (but 4 seconds faster than the HHR SS) and still not that much. Being faster on the Nurburgring is one thing. How many of us are going to be making full blown runs on a famously difficult German track on your daily drive? None of us. In the real world, it's not all that much faster. Using MT's figures, the SS is .1 second faster to 60 and .2 seconds faster in the quarter mile. Top speed wise, it has a 5 mph advantage. It's also what... one or two hundred pounds lighter? Fuel economy figures not far off for the MS3 at 20 city, 28 highway. If I were in the market for these two cars, I'd probably choose the SS because it is naturally more appealing, but I'm not going to sit here and try to say it "blows the doors off" of whatever's on my mind, especially a vehicle who competes more directly with the HHR (and beats it). Are you (and others) on something? Absolutely. It's called GM Kool-Aid and I believe it's specially spiked with Vodka for C&Gers.

A good drive, yes. It doesn't "blow the doors off" of MS3's, though. There's a difference between being slightly faster and blowing one's doors off.

If you ask me, these regulations need updated. Side marker lamps are eyesores and aren't as useful as they use to be.

Again... Infiniti is Nissan, too. Just because the product is more desireable, per se... Doesn't make it any more "distinct". Most Infinitis are foreign market Nissans and most Acuras are foreign market Hondas. There is virtually no difference. I do believe you lack some reading comprehension skills.

For real. Give us more vehicles like the G8, CTS, and Malibu across the board and suddenly, there's no need to fight some silly stigma.

Uh... Infiniti is Nissan, too. Just because the product is more desireable, per se... Doesn't make it any more "distinct". Most Infinitis are foreign market Nissans and most Acuras are foreign market Hondas. There is virtually no difference.

I have no idea what you guys are seeing in this interior. The Matrix I sat in was a huge downgrade in every way possible. Materials, fit, finish, ergonomics, even the design while highly similar wasn't as attractive.

You must be on something.

What if... We don't have a heart? Does he have a spot in our bladders? Maybe a kidney? Tonsils? Intestines?

My friend made me watch it.. Not knowing what it was, I think I died, in more ways than one.

I'm not too close to the coast... but hopefully one dealership within a 50 mile radius gets one in the next 6 months. I think it took about a year for the GTO.
