she's 20, has a newborn, and a lumina/cavalier/teg isn't exactly the most safest thing in the world for a family, may as well pony up for a senior citizen OEM car and get it over with

Yeah I daily a pos 2door cavalier and sold her 2door cavalier when the baby was born cause she refused to ride the baby in it it was such a piece. My old man's been nice enough to let her use his lumina pos until I could find a ride.

She wanted a trailblazer but this thing just floated so nice like Corey said. ---- it I love it more every time I drive it, my pos cavalier that needs brakes wheel bearings and everything else really seemed 10x worse after driving this for the last day and a half.

And like complex said she's young as ---- and i'm one white mother ****** (and not one of the wigger ***** that try harder to be black than a black man) I wanted something nice that she could pimp around in with my little guy with room to spare.

have fun pulling the tranny to re seal the case halves when it starts pissing oil, you'll think its just the oil pan gasket, but it won't be, its the ---- *** two piece block leaking where its sealed together above the oil pan, at 57k i would say you'll be lucky to get another 20k out of it before it needs done. and you can't do it without pulling the tranny. also when it needs new struts they will set you back about $800 a piece

Hmm it was a little low on oil when I picked it up. I better check that ****** out before the warranty is up, I forgot about the two piece block I do remember reading aobut it when I was researching a 96 no start.

If it ends up going later and I need to do it I'm not afraid of it or the timeserts though. My friend is retired on a 300acre farm where all he does is play with his cars. He put a pimp *** lift in the steel pole building he used to use to store his farm equipment that I can use anytime. I'm sure I can drop that ****** out the bottom and have it back together over a weekend. I plan on throwing it on the lift anyway and check it out top to bottom.
