My Toyota had 140K miles, got it with 130K and the only thing I broke was a air vent. I guess I have to be stupid for the trunck lock to break from pressing the beepers trunk opening button, or for the rear defroster do stop working :rolleyes:Quote:

GM fixes all the issues on my dad's tahoe, they replaced the entire suspension because there was a little squeak lol.Quote:

never had a GM, only american cars we've had are Fords... Toyotas have been the best for us.
all warranty work requires a bit of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing to the dealership, it will get done, but it gets done sooner when you know how to talk to people.
I've been as patient as possible, hell, when they returned my car 5 days later with nothing fixed, they told me the rear defroster worked... Instatly I asked how it was tested, and said 2 of the lines work... 2 seconds later, the lady calls the tech and ask how he conducted the test... she got a you :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing dumbass face on when she listened to the tech... lol... they took pics of my rear windshield and tried to get me a replacement window, but they coulnd't get it aporve for a reason... they say there gonna use a repair kit, but so far "we've tried to get it, but we can't find any". BS I say...
threaten with law dude, im sure you know someone who is a lawyer and would happily assist you for no cost(friend, friends parent, relatives, etc.), they will find one really damn quick. they arent holding up to their part of the warranty.Quote:

ford hq is nice lol, they took care of my friends air bag system, although they denied any compensation for the original failure
I have a dead 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. What we know at the moment, is that the cylinder head is definitely damaged and a possibility of a warped or cracked engine block. So we get to tear it apart sometime soon.
Ha, if we have to replace the entire engine, I'm gonna try to get a small block Chevy V8 (if it'll fit). If not, a Subaru boxer 4.
lol LS1 or LS7 that thing hahaha
LS7 is way too expensive.Quote:

LS1 would be nice though :D Pull up to a stop light and start revving it :D
put a cam and 3.5inch exhaust on it, and just let it idle lol, the ppl 3 cars behind you would feel the vibrations.Quote:

lol, that would be sweet.Quote:

I wanna see leather dash, two tone inserts other than just the seats, fully electronic seats.... And an 8 Speed... but I'd settle for 7. :p Maybe some light tinting, and a few bells and whistles.. :p
Right, that would probably shoot down the idea of it being a lower cost competitor to a Bimmer. It'd be the same price then... LOL
Although the word on the streets is that GM is developing a 7 and/or 8 speed transmission for mass production. ^_^
.... 500rpm 80mph..... gasmilage ahoy!Quote:

It is likely that the Corvette, and like cars will get it, along with other high-po oriented cars.
It is irrelevant as to who already uses it.
im confused what are these pics showing?Quote:
