The other car is a Chevy truck. It's an early 90's model. Bought it used from a friend. I hate Chevy....the cars just look and sound cheap. If I had to pick between the Big 3...I'd either go with Saturn or Ford.
LOL. I totally forgot about the new transmission we received, too. After we sold the van, the buyers called us a month later and said that the van had a used transmission in it. The dealer charged us for a new transmission. We never did sort that out. We unloaded it with 90k on the clock and I’ve never been so happy to get rid of a car. Except maybe our two Volvo 740s - one sedan and one station wagon. Fantastic performance, handling, acceleration (turbo), comfort and braking — but reliability was the worst I’ve ever experienced.
We’ve got a ‘95 Explorer with 150k and a ‘03 Expedition with 90k — both have been incredibly good and very few repairs. They just run and run. Much better in quality and reliability than the ‘00 German Jetta we’ve got, the Japanese Sienna and the Swedish Volvos.
