2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Yeah... it gets about 18 mpg or so. Lucky I don't pay for the fuel.

That's not that bad for that size engine. :) I suppose they need that kind of economy to sell them as Vauxhalls and Opels in Europe. :)

My family has three cars:


A piece of crap 2004 Dodge Neon, but hey, 30MPG isn't too bad.

2001 Chevy Camaro 3.8L V6 (yes, a family car.) :D

1998 GMC Suburban 5.7L V8 - It's a bit of a gas guzzler, but very reliable. It just passed the big 250,000 mile mark a few months ago (252,988 total). :o

I suspect you mean the Suburban is a 5.7L, the good ole 350 cubic inch that is no longer made.  Just a hint, if you haven't had to replace the transmission in it yet, you will.

When we bought it back in 2000, the previous owner was nice enough to pay for a replacement transmission.

We were halfway between Texas and North Carolina when the thing started to act up...My Dad wanted to get home so badly he drove 650 miles in fourth gear, and the last 100 miles in third gear. :o ;D Aside from a that & couple of deer that it hit hit it >:(, it has barely been in the shop at all.
