General comments?
Overall this car has performed well past its time I give it credit for lasting this long even with regular maintaince its just beyond its time engine still runs good and trans never once sliped so I give props to gm yea things have gone wrong, but its just a grocery getter not a cruiser like it was back when I baught it it was good looking and peppy back then, but its time to lay it to rest at the local junk yard even though its been in my life since 12 miles on the odometer car has never stranded me most of all failures occured in my own driveway lucky me! 3.1 got longlife to run and still has life left in it too...
