I didnt have too much of a problem with torque steer in the 2004 Impala SS I drove but I also couldnt help thinking that they probably shouldnt try to put more power through this platform. I may have to try a new SS to see if I was right. Yes FWD is better in snow and I wouldnt want to go backwards to a RWD for that reason, but I must also say the GTO I drove a little after the Impala SS handled its V8 a lot better.

I dont really care too much about whats going on right this second. I will be intersted in the 2009 models since that is when my lease expires on the Equinox. Hopefully they have done some things to the Equinox by then because I really like the vehicle. The HHR may be another contender when that time comes.

Regular unleaded is up to $2.94 here in northeast Wisconsin. About the only thing I may do less of is drive the 1984 Buick Park Avenue that gets 11-12 miles to the gallon in town. Even the 15-16 miles to the gallon in the 1981 Bonneville is better. Or the 16-17 in the Equinox. It would be nice to fix the Buick but I am hesitant to spend much more money on it if we are going to sell it next fall.

Does leasing count? If so then I got the Equinox brand new.
-
The 1984 Buick Park Avenue I have my hands into has 260,000 miles. Far as I know it has the origional engine and maybe the origional transmission.

1981 Caprice 2-door. This one had the 229 V6. 1979 Chevrolet Impala 4-door.

I would definatly get ABS. I can see the benefits in the last 2 cars I had especially in winter. I dont know about LSD but my dad said you have to be really careful with it in the winter. Once you start spinning its harder to stop. I would never get a madern car witout A/C. It helps defog the winshield and if its really humid and hot you can be comfortable driving it.

These sound like good upgrades. I dont think the current engine is as terrible as people make it out to be. Only thing I notice is that it starts to lose it above about 50-55. What I am saying is it could use a little better higher end performance. Maybe the 3.5 liter could fix this little issue. The low end performance however is very good. My fuel mileage is about 16-17 in town and 20-24 on the highway.

I would buy a Chevrolet Uplander any day over the Chrysler products. Want to know why? Lets see, the transmission will last longer than 50,000 miles,the A/C has a better chance of making it past 50,000 miles, should I keep going?
-
Around here it is doing so-so. The salesman I got the Equinox from told me that for them the new Impala and the Equinox and the Torrent are their best sellers by far. The Malibu and Cobalt sell quite a bit less.
-
I had them at about 8 years old. The itch was the worst part of the whole ordeal.

I have heard too that regular butter is actually BETTER for you than the margerine or other fake butters. I am also leery of some of the diabetic sugar substitutes because of the chemicals in them.
-
I used to like to drink quite a lot at a time. Like a whole bottle of something at one sitting but I dont do that too much anymore. I dont like the feeling after you start coming down from the high. plus the nausua. I have liquer from my grandmas house when we sold it and I havent even opened it.
-
I will take a GM product any day over a Chrysler problem,I mean product. At least the Uplander shouldnt fall apart at 40-50,000 miles like the Chrysler products will.
-
I will stick with cable if this is what satallite does. Roadrunner works well.
-
Saw both the Maxx SS and the regular SS at the Chicago Auto show. They look pretty good to me.
-
I liked what Chevrolet had to display. I liked the fact they also had the base models and the top models to show the differences.
-
There is nothing wrong with FWD for normal everyday driving. If driven sanely they are easier to deal with in snow. I know, I have driven RWD.FWD, and now AWD in snow. And have good expeiriences in all formats. I sat in a few Cobalts and was quite impressed by what I saw. And felt.

A really good cheeseburger is also a winner for me. Culvers is great. Cinderz is about the best you can get here. Or my own with a pack of onion soup with good hamburger from the local meat market.
-
Same thing mine is doing. I was told by Time Warner to get a new one from their store so I shall do that tommorrow. They did run a new heavier line to it and put in an amplifier for all the cable. The guy said those are becoming outdate for whats coming up in the future.
-
I think the cable modem here is starting to go. It couldnt connect for a long while. This has happened more frequently as of late. Called cable but of course they arent open at 12:30 in the morning. It is currently working now but for how long? Its a 3Com. Looks like a shark fin. Its 5 years old. Problem is we have Vonage so when it doesnt work neither does the phone.
-
Has it been 12 years since I got mine? And I started with a 1981 Caprice 2-door. Doors were rusted out but the rest of it was pretty good.
-
It doesnt matter if its brand new like the Equinox or old like the Bonneville was when I got it from Grandma it was exciting either way. Same way with all my cars. When I got my 1979 Impala I couldnt hardly contain myself. Especially since it had such low mileage when I got it.
