my crusade is not on account of the bad timing chain, but the systematic
unwillingness to accept responsibility for it. everyone makes mistakes but
to deliberately try to hide it with lies is something different.

the bad design of the timing chain on your Saturn. Anyone else?

Yup, cheap to run. Last time I put new tires on it, they cost $29 a piece.
I could have sprung for the extra $6 each and got white walls, but I thought
it made it look kinda girlie. I also had one of those license plate rings
that said, "My other car is a Porsche". And it was. I never got a spee

Hey the Chevette was a great car! Bought it new for $3600 in 12/75 and its
low cost of ownership enabled us to purchase our first Mercedes - a 1973 280
- in 1982. Sold it for $300 in 1986 to our firewood guy.

We're all friends here, so I'll share, but you all most promise to never
speak of this again.
I owned a Chevette. Drove it about 150,000 kms, zero problems other than

THe lesson to be learned is that when you push crap on your market, they

I have a 76 Eldo, it is way cool but a real POS build-wise. The motor
and front drive were RV parts, so they are pretty stout. 2000 Suburban,
135k no troubles really except the rear lift glass blew out (who
designed the hinges bonded to glass and the other half not lined up well
on the body?)
How a bout a Buick LaCrosse that had repeated leaks from the
afterthought antenna stuck in a hole punched in the roof with a
crappy grommet, engine controls that left the driver stranded twice,
and a climate control system that had to be replaced at least once
(maybe twice on that one too)?
I sort of liked my Vega.
