    Ditto. Not always true, but the majority of the time this is the case. It kills me to see people who complain and whine about poor craftsmanship on their car at 40,000 miles and they have never once changed the oil. I believe, most of the time, you will get out of a car what you put into it maintenance-wise.

    Good luck with finding your daughter a car Charles!!
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    I think

    outside of Cadillac - the pre 2000 Olds Aurora used a scaled down version of the Northstar V-8 and as mentioned the Intrigue but only on later models (past 98 I think) were they standard on all intrgues -

    great lil engine - had what is called a "limp home" feature that if the engine was damaged in any way (loss of coolant or what ever) it would operated still in so you could "limp home" to get it to a repair shop.
    You have activated my special ability....

    Mine`s too old: `89 Coupe Deville 4.5 L V8, replaced the plagued 4.1, predecesor to the 4.5 and then the Northstar
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.
