Well, guess you just can't kick the feeling you get from a vehicle that treated you right.
My wife is getting pretty worked up about the gas prices. She's been eyeing a lot of four cyl cars, and SUV's lately. Tomorrow she wants to go look at a 97 grand am that she saw in the paper, for a commuter car.

Her previous, '93 Grand Am treated her quite well, and I think she's definitely regretting ever getting rid of it.

Wish us luck, we might be coming home tomorrow with her new little toy.
Which naturally will be mine to fix/modify. Could be fun..who knows?

I never got to modify the last one. But with this one, since she's unfamiliar with it, I can tell her it needs...a CAI, and I can probably get away with that. She's not brain dead, so I can't tell her it needs a turbo...although that could be a fun mod.:biggrin:

Good luck with your search

Well we were unable to view the car today. The seller was busy, and it's been raining all day. Looks like we'll check it out tomorrow. I think the wife is ready to buy. (That scares me) I better pick this thing apart when I see it.

Does that mean you'll be up to 3 vehicles?

My folks have owned several Pontiacs over the years, including a Grand Prixs and a Grand Am for mid 90's vehicles. I always felt like they were pretty sporty things. They had an engine go out in (I think) a '94 Grand Prix at 30,000 miles caused by a faulty harmonic balancer that shook the engine apart. They got a new crate engine installed at 30k and drove that thing all over the place for the next 5 years w/o a problem and were able to sell it with an engine with 30k less than the odometer.
