I got to drive another Impala, this one Mark's 1963 wagon, and I had a damn good time!

Very cool stuff. Excellent review as usual Jesda!

You looked a little hesitant behind the wheel!

I'm always at 10 and 2. I think it's because I'm a control freak.

Here's me from 2003 in a 1993 Accord on a road trip:

FYI, that XM tuner cost me $400 back then. :inout: Too bad XM sucks now.

Well done, it looks like a nice car. We had a 65 Impala wagon when I was a kid. Man that thing hauled butt.

Jesda - have you ever reviewed a Malibu Maxx SS, or regular Malibu SS from that same era (2006-2008)?

Never driven one.


Remember that old Sony XM tuner you gave me years ago? You might be surprised that it was actively in use until last year. I gave it to a friend who used it as a home tuner for talk radio.

I wasn't sure if you had ever bothered driving Chevy's non-mainstream mainstream sedan.

I thought about that little Sony XM, when you referenced the other tuner above. Oh, the good old days.

Nice review. What do you figure for acceleration for the heavy car?
