Here you take driver's ed once you're 15, it's a 6 week class. You have to hold your permit for a year, and do a driving log of 50 hours, 10 of that at night. You take a drive test at 16 and get your license, then it is restricted for 6 months after too.

Ill get a pic of my whip tomorrow...Just got the bastard running good, replaced a bad fuel pressure regulator, what a PITA. Then the coolant line connection started leaking where it goes into the block. That took all day to redneck/ghetto rig it. JB weld FTW

Nope. I plugged the spot off where it broke (common problem, made of cheap metal) And drilled a new hole in the side of the case that holds the thermostat. I tapped the hole, put a spark plug insert in it, then put in a hollowed out sparkplug(acts as a nipple for the coolant line) Seems to work well, and gets better flow than the original. Pics soon.

My 2.2 liter Toyota will outrun the piece of GM(Goofy Motors) **** any day of the week! (no, not really) Does you car have a selective shifter lock that lets you pretend its a stick? Didn't think so!

No...but i did have to manually shift it for a while....**** TCC solenoid went goofy for a while....if you stopped at stoplights it would stall, then youd have to neutral drop the bastard to get going, and if you slowed down it would downshift funny so it would shake the whole car...

And yeah, this engine is the biggest POS you could possibly imagine..Its does have about 190,000 miles though, no major failures.

Perhaps not, but it will outlast it. I will never buy another GM product.

Most of their stuff will go for a while, dad has a 94 Chevy 1500 W/T with a quarter million miles on it, everything works and it doesnt burn oil, never had any work past the maintenance schedule done besides a rear end seal. And we HAUL WOOD with this truck (fill it above the cab roof) and drive it down the highway, that rack aint for show.

Then again his last truck was a 84 chevy and it had electrical problems form hell, after going through the wiring twice he admitted defeat and crawled underneath with a bolt every rainy day to short the starter noid.
