    OHV 2.2

    One of the slowest cars I have ever drove

    Going to Beckley as a matter of fact, for teh lulz, I would floor it up some of the mountain highways and it would only do 60.

    That same car is the reason I decided on a Cobalt the first time around.

    I beat the snot out of that car, on a semi regular basis...and it just didn't seem to mind.

    GF's brother has one, what a POS!

    Just keeps limping along though making it the perfect car for him. Hopefully we can get his El Camino running well soon so the Pontiac can become a winter beater cuz the poor thing is ready to be put down.

    I've spent 90% of my money on cars, guns and airplanes.
    The rest I've wasted.

    My first car was a 97 Cavy, and I wish I still had that to beat the crap out of on a daily only to NEVER give me one problem the entire time I had it.

    I had an 03 slowfire and a 92 cavalier. Both slow and heavy. Both were great in the snow and never had any problems with ~250k mi on the cavi and ~150K mi on the slowfire. A big reason I stayed with a gm compact car.
