Not to try and out shine Chris but I also purchased a new Toy. So I purchased a new car about almost a month ago. I’m going to run down some of it’s features:
3.8L V6 (largest engine for that year)
4-door
Power Everything (windows, locks, seats)
Full Package (Leather seats, ABS, Traction Control, Dual Climate)
Alloy Wheels rapped up in 225/60R16s
Custom Paint Job
Should be really nice for the winter months when I can’t drive my Zx2
I guess it wasn’t as big of a build up as I had hoped for.
There are so many things to fix on the car. All little things, mainly. A fuel door is one of them. But more importantly, there is an exposed gear that I saw when doing my oil change. It was very large, much 1.5x the size of a dinner plate. Not sure what it is yet but there were 2 screw holes on the one side. I’m guessin there was guard/shield to it. But it doesn’t look like it ever leaked or anything.
Just my winter beater. It’s my “Bumble,” because bumbles bounce.
Yeah those 3800 series motors are pretty stout, though I had transmission issues with my Bonneville.
Funny that you mentioned that. This vehicle is on it’s second transmission. Engine is running fine, but I do worry about the tranny from time to time. Do you happen to know about this?

I can only assume so… Only thing I do with cars are changing oil, filters, tune ups, driving and breaking, and paying an @$$ load of money to get them fixed, sorry.
