1990 Pontiac 6000 LE from North America - Comments

I paid $500 for it, and it needed a bit of work, not much though for its age:

- Ball joints

- Battery

- Stabilizer bar

- Brake lines, pads and rotors.

There is a small oil leak right now, but I really don't care about it. It's a seal (I forget what exactly) and it's about $300 to fix (labor intensive). It only drops a quart about once a month and it doesn't burn oil.

I really like this car, and I'm in the process of restoring it to be like new.

It looks like crap because it needs a paint job (some surface rust and peeling), the previous owner didn't maintain it well, but it's the most reliable car I have ever owned!

It handles exceptionally, and has a lot of get up and go. It's funny blowing away those silly sticker/spoiler/crap covered Civics at stop lights. They spend $5000 on souping (is that how you spell it?) up their cars and my 11 year old family sedan blows it away! Hahahahah!

This car is a tank, it doesn't let anything get in its way. I think the only way to destroy it would be to drive it off a cliff (and then it would probably still drive away! Well, maybe not, but you get the point...)

I love my car and I treat it very well, and I hope that it hits at least 400 000 kms before I have to part with it.

Hi.

I know. I bought an '88 four months ago, & I don't bother getting road rage. I just love watching the faces of people who figure they're going to out jump my grandpa car with their late-model sports cars/SUVs. Especially ones who lane jump without signaling. "Aww, go ahead," I think.

My P6000 catches up. This weekend I beat every single car out of stops from downtown Vancouver BC to the ferry terminal. Without flooring it or burning rubber. Honestly, I was amazed & a bit smug :-D.
