    Amen. Mom had an '02 Buick LeSabre with the 3.8 in it, that motor was bulletproof. She traded that car on a '15 Honda Civic last year, I was sad to see it go. But, Mom is really happy with the new ride, it will probably be her last one.

    Would love a Lucerne; they're great cars.
    Unfortunately, I currently have no money to spare--so the car will have to wait.

    She isn't selling it immediately. I'll let you know when it's time.

    Pfffft!

    I used to fire people for trying things that didn't even come close to the stuff they did!

    Fun movie though. A blast to watch.

    A serious instructional movie about the "Used Cars " business. Very educational.

    There is def something wrong with this transmission and/or clutch. First nothing happens then without moving the pedal it grabs and leaps forward (or backward). Almost had incidents like a dozen times trying to back a trailer. That's to say nothing of the weird electronic gremlins in the touch screen display/radio/nav system. Keeps jumping to the home screen. Volume changes on its own. Static on screen then blacks out. Or radio won't cut off even after key off. And removed. And truck exited. It even got to the climate control twice--full hot with no effect from my inputs. Had to shut down for like an hour each time before it would do right again.

    It's going to the dealer in a few days. When its working the touch screen is awesome. When it glitches I want to burn this thing to the rails.

    Averaging 7.4mpg pulling 43,000 pound loads across the mountains though. So I got that going for me. Which is pretty good.
