Lol. Short form is ok sometimes. Just not when your trying to explain things. James gave me a hard time a couple months ago about it. But I understand why he did. Its hard to understand what "it" or "that" means. Now I ask my wife how to spell things before I post lol!

:cheers:

You should go try to read some of the troubleshooting threads on Trailvoy. Some of those members were so bad at communicating, it was painful to read!

That's why we instituted some of the guidelines that we have.

yeah, we want to make sure that we can understand the problem and WHEN IT GETS SOLVED, others can search and find the thread so we don't have to answer the same questions so many times.

Fern, I'm not sure there is a need to post the same question both here and GMTN, most of us here post there also.

"Decent for an N/A 3.0L" is what I'd call them... They ran like a 16-flat 1/4, didn't they? 220HP in a 3400# car.

The turbo version was like a very high 13's car, and was very cool!

Still a very nice driving car, and way ahead of their time, style-wise!

so guys just found out this car was stolen at one point. .... thats why there nothing in the car. supposedly some gang bangers broke into the truck and the truck was involved in transporting kilos of cocaine some weed..... so basically everything that is missing is were they put all the drugs.. and 3 hand guns were in the vehicle when it was stopped. i actually saw the police report that the lady had in the house...


now heres my thing... do you think she should have told me something about this when she was telling me the "history" of the car? or even upon purchase?

either way still crazy.
