The labor was 236$... 175$ was for the pump... and various costs for the peripheral parts.

Well... What an Ordeal... 500$ Later my car is back on the road. The car was losing coolant at the water pump... the whole thing was faulty and had to be replaced... Now the car runs better than I ever remember it running so I'm happy.

Problem is... With those features you get a car that pulls to the left under heavy braking, has a fuel gauge that goes backwards, and shakes real bad @ stoplights... two friends with Kias have these issue... you get what you pay for.

*Speculation Cap On* Any Zetas and Alphas that may end up being built for the NA market and not imported from OZ will be made in Canada... The FWD Impala replacement (read Bel Air; Biscayne, cause it can't be called Impala outside Oshawa) will move from Oshawa to where the two Zetas were promised in the UAW contract to make up for the lost product there and preserve the employment... Oshawa works on a whole shwack of low volume Alpha and Zeta till bubble bursts... Oshawa closes.

^*cough* Kia *cough*

Sounds like my dad's approach to dealing with people in general

The first thing I thought when I saw the video was PCS driving his GXP and Camino in the passenger seat trying to get it in the ditch. :AH-HA_wink:

Did someone say Pontiac Grand Prix?

3500 with Simulated Dual Exhaust methinks.

Especially the ratty Windows OEM one... *Cringes*

Beverly Hills? Wanna front me 18K$? :AH-HA_wink:

My list of 'want to have' is long... Maybe if I play my cards right I'll get to cross some off the list 1959 Oldsmobile 98/88 Hardtop 1958 Buick 1956 Cadillac Sedan Deville 1965 Impala SS283 Convertible Boattail Riviera 1965 Toronado 1962 Sport Fury 1962-3 Imperial 1961-3 Continental 4-Door Hartop Convertible 1966 Cutlass

Go For It!

The Sport Fury was one of the few early 60s Plymouth and Dodge models that weren't butchered ala Valiant.

Certainly is... it's only second to this one on the Mopars I would restore list: The Imperial's unique ovoid steering wheel is really nice too....

Yeah Reg, go for the Taurus

My favourites are the 62 and 63 Imperial LeBaron

If they are going to OZ, it shouldn't surprise anyone... Lutz said himself that Chevrolet is GM's GLOBAL brand from now on...

Good that GM is actively showing an Oldsmobile at its display as if they actually existed.

Pretty Sure it's not.

Not on me right now... I'm waiting it to hit clearance at Chapters before I shell for it.

They made one for Chevy too... I'm considering lobbying the publisher to make one for Oldsmobile.

+1 Most people I went to High School with are forgettable- and will be forgotten. My friends are another matter however.

Great to hear! I know these negotiations can be real scummy so I really hope for the best! My grandparents went to court over an accident a while back, My grandpa was driving his vehicle up Edmonton Trail and the lights at Memorial Drive were on Red Flash, so he stops, checks for oncoming traffic, and having the right of way, moves on, and then a Pontiac Montana going 30KPH over the speed limit comes flying around a blind corner and clipped his bumper... Granddad thankfully walked away, and is lucky he wasn't T-Boned. Trouble is, not only was his pristine 1996 Windstar written off, but he became deaf in one ear from the sound the airbag deployment. He had to take the ditz who hit him to court and got, well, enough money. The lawyers did a physical who found out that the accident also cracked his spine. He has never been quite the same because the accident and the legal proceedings were extremely taxing- but it's at least some consolation that they took the other driver to the cleaners.
