Sometime tomorrow I am going to the insurance agency and bringing back the Wagon. We've missed this car very much and since Mark has fixed it, it deserves to be back. Plus I hate dealing with the Lumina since it left me on the side of the road again. Wagon has always been a trustworthy car and it still is. Considering its only biggest problems we ever had was the U-Joint going out , the fusible link causing a power outage from a bad foglight, and the recent of the carb coming apart. Other than that, its the best car we have ever had. Not bad for a 23 year old car with a lot of miles on it. This car is truely going to see a nice rebuild when it hits 300,000 miles. I know it will make it until then. Plus you can't beat the good gas mileage in one with A/C running and all.

Another thing is, its our NICO car.

I don't know about that. 97 Lumina was my first car - had it for two years until I graduated High School. It was by no means outstanding, but it was pretty damn reliable - I got it from my dad at like 80k miles and gave it to my sis at like 120k.

Though I did go through like 4 alternators. Damn W-bodies and their weakass electrical systems.

I drive my gf's Lumina (she only has a permit, her mom lets me drive the Lumina wherever). 3.1L 160hp and 3300lbs to lug around. I did however smoke my friend (RA65). He gets pissed b/c I pwn everytime we race off the line. I must say it's reliable considering my gf's mom hasnt really taken care of it 'til I mentioned that the engine in it will be severely fux0red if she doesnt get an oil change (was like 7k miles past due) I was the first one to drive it in like 3 months (she ended up getting an escape) and the Lumina was just sitting there. I offered to take it out for a spin just to know it will run. I let it idle for around 10 mins (until the engine quit knocking) and it seems to be okay. I've out about 1k on it and no problems (brake pads will be needed soon). A pretty good car for a domestic Good girl car, although I wish her mom would've gotten the Lumina with the optional 3.4l 215hp engine
