[Mach 1]

srv1 - just for your information, I have lived in New York, Pennslyvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and georgia. I know what cols weather is. I also was an auto mechanic for several years.

Since you service police cars your an expert...lol. Dont assume what I know because of some limited information available about me that you got from the web page. That doesnt say much for you, does it?

So waiting to change the oil from 5,000 to 6,000 miles turns it into severe useage?...I think not.

You originally said that 50,000 miles a year was severe useage, and thats the point that I challenged. Funny you didnt have a comment on that one, just started rambling on about brake wear, blah, blah....come back when you have a clue.

I dont know anything about opti-spark. The car had mass air meter problems for one thing. You say its because it is 8 years old, but what you dont know is im talking about a few years ago. He had this car when it was 2 years old, and sold it when it was 4 years old. and how do you figure a 95 to be 8 years old? Thats pushing it a little bit. The car in question wanst close to 8 years old, and even it it was, that is unacceptable. Your not trying to justify a car 8 years old falling apart because it 8 years old, are you? Maybe for GM owners this is expected. By the way, the person who bought it off of Hondas used car lot blew the motor up in a couple weeks, lost oil pressure I believe. The car was a piece of ****, and it was the infamous LT-1, so Im not impressed. Maybe it was a lemon, most GM's are. It was fairly quick though. It ran high 13's on street tires, it was an automatic, and mostly stock.
