You? Kind of Sarcasm? Sure... what the hell. As long as I can still have King of Sarcasm. :P But, no... I soooo fit that title. The only time I don't is when I'm supero dupero agry-ero. Not supero angry-ero or dupero angry-ero... Supero dupero angry-ero. Very rare to find me in that state... especially when I'm happy. Like happy in that way... haha.. :D Speaking of which, I'm wired tonight. I took some sleep pills and it had the opposite effect on me. I was supposed to fall asleep faster but instead it's almost 4:30 in the morning... Heh, they did have a positive effect though. Talk about best orgasm ever... :lol: B)

Hmm... Um... come again? Also, unless you've seen them... you can't make claims for the Tundra and Supra. You just can't. You don't know what they'll look like regardless of what anyone tells you. Case in point, the new Escalade. Oh how it was supposed to so great and so original. GM and all the insiders spewed it out like gospel. Well... look at what it turned out to be. Aw hell... these still fit with what you're saying regardless of whether you like the... :lol: :D [img]http://www.edmunds.com/media/news/column/letterstotheediors/02.jul/02.pontiac.aztek.f34.500.jpg [img]http://www.edmunds.com/media/roadtests/firstdrive/2002/chevrolet/avalanche/chevrolet.avalanche.r34.500.jpg[/img] [img] [img]http://www.innerauto.com/includes/images/Inner_Auto/Saturn_Parts/saturn_ion.01.jpg[/img] I do see your point though. I love the new Nissans. I'd probably pick them over many of GM's designs. I wish GM would stick with it once it does find a great design. Ya know... transport it throughout the brand. Almost did it with Cadillac until Lutz f**ked it up. In fact... as long as Lutz is at GM, it'll never happen, IMO. He's a fan of bland...

Yeah... well, I implied nothing and me, myself, and BV are planning a revolt against C&G if you deny us custom titles and scoff at us. Then scoff at us some more. Then finally ban us. We will. I dare you. I know where you live, what you drive, and where you work. That's more than you can ever know being we don't have jobs. Muahahaha... yeah, take that, bitch! :lol: :D

If you could have a custom member title... what would yours be? Lately, this has been on my mind. Don't know why, but it has. Since I've been doing more personal things than Pontiac things... evidenced by my avatar. Well, I kind of think something along the lines of "The Sarcasm King" or "The King of Sarcasm" would fit me perfectly. I mean, I rarely leave it out of any of my posts. Don't know why, but I do. I guess it's just me. :P If I wanted to get funky... I could go with "Sarcasm is my Orgasm" :lol: :D *Disclaimer* I imply nothing.

Speaking of this shop class... My school doesn't have it. :unsure:

Maybe no one likes the Commander... :P Seriously, though, what's the point of posting a link to an article? Which requires registration? When it really doesn't? :blink: Really annoying, ya know... Anyways, the interior looks cheaper than my GA. Okay, I'm exaggerating but it sucks more than vehicle at it's price point should. I could care less that it feels cheap, though. But looking cheap? No way Jose... you aren't getting away with that. Not a chance. I think an Aveo's interior looks more expensive than it... Okay, another exaggeration. Shoot me. :D

Damn you... you're making me feel bad. :P

After thinking... my final thoughts about it: I think I can pretty much say that it is suffering from 3 things. The first of which is a rod bearing. The second is a leaking coolant system. The third is the headgasket leak worsening. Those make the most sense after reading comments and doing my own analysis... Anyways, I'm having mixed feelings... still. More or less, I just can't believe this happened. I mean, there is no deciding to replace it or not. It's done. I can't keep it without giving something else up. That it's worth is gone... I came into it thinking I can get more than what I paid. Now I'm most likely going to get less. Damn... Well... expect some farewell pics after I wash it for the last time... ya know... make it look as good as I possibly can to give a good first impression. That and remove my Clarion reciever and install the old Jensen one that came out of it. I'm sure someone would want a relatively good looking Grand Am; with a bad engine for $500. Right? Hopefully... since it does run. *sigh*

That is awesome sketch... :lol:

Yeah... it has the details, but (sorry to bring this up again) not the design. Details usually make the design, but it has to have an original design in the first place. It's a Cadillac for christ's sake. GM usually lacks the details, so it's nice to see them, I'll admit.

What about a GTO GXP/GTP/GT? :lol: Seriously now... I've always thought this was a great idea and I thought it was in GM's plans. Guess not. I think an LS7 + GTO Ram Air concept + awesome colors = great return of the Judge. :D

Oh... I think its in June or July. I think the end of June, actually, because I remember it interfering with school since we ran late last year. I think, anyways. I can't quite remember.

Well, Capriceman, how do you expect me to get a job if I can't get to it? I said that my GA is pretty much done for. It's barely running and I can't risk driving it anymore. I'm selling it for sure, now. As for who would win... I have a freakin' 150hp Quad4... who do you think is going to win, stupid?!?!? :lol: :D Same with your Caprice. The only advantage my GA has on it is handling. Jeesh... :rolleyes: :P Anywho... glad to see my thread revived again! Especially since I've decided to sell my vehicles...

So... does anyone know why I started this thread? :P

Yeah... it looked like metallic paint.

Yeah... I know $2000 was pretty optimistic. :D Anyways, that's about what I was thinking, I think. It'll save me and my dad time for sure. Atleast now it'll be pretty easy telling him I want to sell since it now has problems. Before he probably would have thought I was crazy. Ofcourse, he still thinks it was a great deal for me even though he doesn't have to drive it everyday and deal with all problems. Most are minor, but they are super annoying. That and I'm a showoff... it's just in my blood. I like to impress and please people (usually). It also is probably the root of my self esteem. Ya know... why I start alot threads dealing all that crap. :P BTW, I haven't drained the oil yet, but I took a look at the oil on my dipstick last night. I had a flashlight up close to it... and it looked metallicky to me. So... Otherwise, it wasn't milky.

Didn't I hear that Laguna Beach's Talon was there...?

IDK... what would give me more money? Selling the GA in its current condition along with the ATV -or- Selling the ATV, using that to fix the GA, then selling it? I'm too f**ked up at the moment to seriously think about it, but the first seems like a greater payoff to me. I mean... how much money would need to be put into the GA and how much would it be worth afterwards? I'd say it's actual worth would probably be $1500. If I'm lucky and able to fool someone by hiding a bunch of its problems, I might be able to get $2000 out it. I don't really see a payoff. I think selling it for what I can get, which is probably somewhere around $500 as you mentioned, would either have the same or better payoff. Wouldn't it? IDK.. :unsure: Hmm... wonder about a loan? Perhaps I could see if my parents could get a loan for me to get a car now. Then I could get a job and after everything is sold and I would have a source of cash flow to pay my parents to pay off the loan. Or I am misinterpretting the whole idea of loans? :huh: If not, what do you think about that? Ehh... my parent's probably wouldn't go for that anyways... As for the Hyundai... I'm sadly too picky to do something like you did. I can never treat a car as an appliance and don't want to. That's probably going to bite me in the ass later on... :P

Wow... this has turned into such a controversial vehicle. I can't remember one being moreso. This just says the it's not the winner half of you make it out to be while it isn't the failure the other half makes it out to be. No question about that... Anyways, the design itself looks rather nice. Yes, I think so. However, when you have to say "the design itself...", that usually means something is wrong. Like it not being original enough. It shouldn't share any body panels with the Tahoe/Yukon. It shouldn't look like "just another" SUV as it does. I don't care what you say. It does and GM only made it "good enough". And we all know how the saying goes... So don't argue agaisnt it. It's clear as daylight. As for the interior (which I haven't commented on yet). It looks good... but the column mounted shifter and the GM-parts-bin steering wheel are total disgraces. They shouldn't be in a vehicle like this. At all. Kind of like the shared exterior body panels... :rolleyes: I'm sorry guys, but again I must stress that GM didn't go far enough. It's sad since Cadillac was one of GM's very few bright spots. Now they're growing overly confident and dropping the ball... BTW, it's a freakin' war in here! :blink:

IDK... I'll be sure to try some of those things. I just don't know whether it's worth keeping. I mean, the engine was never an issue with it. Yeah, it ticked, but it ran excellently. When I considered selling it, it wasn't because of the engine. It was one of it's few bright spots, actually. Now that there is an issue with, I'm not sure I see a reason to keep it. Even if I get it fixed, I'm still going to be dealing with the same problems. That and I don't have the money to fix it. The money for a newer car would have came out of it and my ATV ...and if I got a job, which relies on a vehicle to transport me to it. That's gone and to fix it is extra. I don't have extra... My dad's wondering if he could find another one in a junkyard, as Z mentioned, but that's still money that neither of us really have. He knows it too and is disgusted about the whole ordeal. I guess all of this is the result of finding a "steal" at $1000, which, has so far turned out to be the opposite. Anyways, I know about looking for milky oil. I've kind of had to watch out for that since the headgasket was supposedly leaking. But I'll have to check for metal when I draining the oil... I guess it sort of works out since it was time to change it. :P

Nah... I'm not a big fan of the Sixteen. I'm just disappointed to see that A&S, which helped turn around Caddy's image, is being thrown in the trash. This Escalade... is just another stupid SUV to me... it could have been more. Period.

Uhh... What? :blink: I have no idea what the hell you're implying, first of all. As for the rest of what you said... it reeks highly of "it's good enough". Well guess what, "good enough never is". Remember that saying? Yeah... Just the fact that Cadillac is only making it good enough for that crowd (of all crowds :rolleyes: ) is retarded. Cadillac should be competing with the best of Japan and Europe. Not this. No way, no how. It's as stupid a move as they could make. As if bastardizing A&S by watering it down wasn't bad enough... BTW, I'm not arguing against its success. Those retards will snatch these things up... That doesn't make this a good move on GM's part. It's ruining Cadillac and if you guys can't see it now... you will after its probably too late. I'm sick of this BS. End of story.

Wow... I'm still unimpressed. In fact, I'm quite aggrivated by this. What the hell happened to A&S? :blink: I hate it, I honestly hate it and the idiots who approved it.

I've decide to just start another thread about this. Anyways, I posted a much clearer story about what has happened over the GAOC. I'm just going to link to that the thread over there. http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthre...&threadid=50583 So guys... what should I do? Is this a calling for me to replace it or is it worth fixing? I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm out of a car as it stands, now, and with out one I don't have transportation to get a job so I can afford a nice car. I... just don't know. :(

Well... if you decide to come to Brookville I think we'll definitely have to avoid my parents. They get caught up in that "don't give out info; don't meet up with people" thing. They think you're all serial killers... :P Although this kind a makes it tough for me... still. The GA is in the process of blowing up and it could probably go anytime. That and there's not really many places in Brookville to meet up. There's always the Boulevard where all the fast food joints, hotels, and gas stations are... and then we may be able to meet somewhere downtown or even at the GM dealership. Haha... IDK. It all depends on how crappy the weather is Friday. If my GA was running right, I probably wouldn't let you test it out... but that won't be any fun now that its wounded. I dunno... :D
