Gonna miss that supercharger and ability to pass with ease on the highway but mileage was getting close to 100K and winter is around the corner.......sold the car last night and purchased a Trailblazer this afternoon........It has a little more room and some nice creature comforts.....not as much as the car but oh well....... ...................Bowtie....... lol

Something smells like poopoo and it's coming from Will's boots.

Now seriously Will (we know you didnt sell O.F.) , if you picked up a TB let me know. I need to source a vehicle for a family member and had them on my list. I'd like to hear whatcha think.

You and Grady always peg me....... ....will take a lot more for me to part with OF.....got rid of the GTP.......wasn't anything wrong with it....just wanted a change..........and no guys......Not the SS.... ......Jess does not need that......just a LS...with a inline 6........all the gas mileage and torque I need.....now I can get a trailer and have a way to pull OF from the track

JT......What do you want to know....I test drove it for a day...got the AWD/4WD...just in case Ohio winter hits hard... ....runs smooth.....cloth interior sits well....almost fell asleep while Jess was driving.......and that's not a easy task .......obviously no SOTP feeling but it rides just as well as the GTP.....Jess and I both like it.....I switched it into AWD and 4wd at 45mph and it went very smooth.....anything else you want to know just let me know......

Thanks for the info Will. It sounds like a smooth ride.

I'll be lookin at something Just (add Bob Uecker inflection, as in 'Just a bit outside') a bit older than what yo got.
If I come across something that looks promising, I'll give it a run past ya. It's always nice to hear the wise opinion of a guy who runs a car lot out of his house.

Scared me for a minute there Will!



Since we are talking TB's. I wonder if GM has had any problems yet with the front axle's? As you may know ... the axle runs THROUGH the engine oil pan. I'm gonna ask my dad if he's seen any come in with axle / pan problems.
