[What's_nitro?]

I guess 17 years ago GM was a better brand? There have been no major problems with my Bonnie, and everything that I've needed to do has been something I'd expect to do on a vehicle this old- (brake lines, alternator, sway bar links, etc.). When the time comes that I need a transaxle rebuild I might consider putting a down payment on a new car instead. I'm at ~216K miles and it shifts like a champ, even with my heavy foot, so I don't anticipate any problems in the near future.
