I will take the 09 Malibu any day.

I will let nostalgic retards drive the death trap from the 50’s.

Rebuild tranny every 30k miles. Rebuild engine every 60k miles.

Planned obsolescence. No thanks.

Rebuild tranny(stupid expression)every 30,000 miles? Plain to see you didn't live in the late 50s. Rebuild engine at 60,000? That went out about 1935, cars in the 50s routinely averaged 100,000 or more miles and they didn't have the oils we have now. I drove a 1957 chevy that I paid 700 bucks for in 1962, it had 50,000 on it when I got it, I drove it until it dropped at 125,000 miles and it didn't even have an oil filter, but I changed oil every 1000 miles like clockwork. The transmission, BTW, was still going strong when I sold it to a guy for 90 bucks in 1968.

The only car I ever owned that the transmission(notice how it is spelled, it isn't a sex change victim it is a car part)went out early was a 2000 Ford Taurus, it went out at 70,000 miles, and pi**ed me off to no end when it did it.

That's uncalled for.

I've had a '57 Chevy and a '54 Oldsmobile. As far as I know, I'm not retarded.
