you need a better mechanic, or you have a lemon. I suspect it's some of both.

Okay, gotta agree with that, and a lot of Chevies have been crappy, too, but not all of them, and not always. The cavalier is pretty crappy, too, but older GM (and Ford) trucks are pretty decent vehicles, for the most part. The Taurus and Luminas are pretty decent for what they are, too, though...

A drivetraine that's been known to last over 500,000 miles is your definition of crappy? and name one maker who doesn't have some bad design in their vehicles

Especialy because it's true

I have , as I said, an 01 Lumina with over 280k on the oeiginal drive train. While not everything is well designed, that's hardly the sign of a crappy car. My Boss's 95 GM pickup, was also decidedly not crappy, nor was the 76 Big Ten I sold last year, nor the 2000 Chevy I used at Cycle Shop, a...

Soooooooooo cool! I R jelous :)

Obviously GM products have gotten realy crappy in the seven years I've been out of the mechanic buiseness

cool.

Acsolutely amazing

Ahhhh progress!

And do not buy anything from them. Sounds like a new (or not so new?) take on 'bait and switch' which would be good cause to report them to the better buiseness bureau and anyone else you can think of, including Honda North America, and, depending on truth in advertising laws in your state...

Outskirt I love those Corn Binders, but the one my wife owned (bought brand new) burned up the tranny in 7 months, the second time it was used to WORK (pulling one round bale of hay, which a beat up old Ford a freind of mine had'll do all day long) so International's aren't perfect, either. They...

I've met folks who rip on Chevies, and folks who rip on Fords, and I'll be the first to say GM doesn't always do the best design,(nor does Ford, nor Dodge, nor Volvo) but these brakes failed from lack of grease on the floaters. That's a maintenance issue. What abou the design makes them hard to...

Chevy truck disc brakes are simple a stone hammer; two bolts to remove and install, and a big c clamp to push the pison back in. Hey, if you want a Volvo, get one, it's your money, your butt ridin in it, and ultimately your satisfaction or lack thereof, but don't talk a chevy down because it...

See? The MECHANICS fault, not the car's. If you buy a Volvo and take it to these yoyos they'll screw that up, too. You need a new mechanic Brakes are simple, this coul've been done, better, in your own driveway, when the brakes started grinding, before the rotors were ate up

Welcome. This site's got answers.

If you let your brake pads wear out, they will eat the rotors, no matter what kind of car you drive. I have a 2001 Chevy Lumina with 280000+ miles on the original drivetrain, and as an ex mechanic,(for a taxi company) I can tell you these Chevies, ay least, are solid cars IF properly maintained...

Keep it coming, buddy. Outskirt, that car of yours is outstanding, love it

I'm in LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!this car is two kewl!

I remember when I was a kid and had a garage sale 20" canti I WISHED was a BMX (all the rage then) tried in vain to fid a tube foek to fit, but back then, tube forks didn't come in lengthd to fit cantis, or at least MY canti (Buzz Bike, 66 I think, sadly not loved at the time and replaced by the...
