She behaved well: she trembles a bit too much at idle and sometimes seems to want to accelerate while I'm braking, but other than that she was fine. I took the roof down manually, since the pump is dead, and discovered I could take it back up by myself without too many problems - which is nice. Gas is now a euro sixty a liter (over nine dollars a gallon) so I won't be driving her too often, but it was certainly nice to take her out. Sorry that the background in my pictures never changes, I just really like that park. Next to the Cavalier is my friend Phil's Audi A3. Enjoy!

I thought mine was dead for over a year and then pulling a homer simpson "DOH!" I checked the fluid and it was bone dry. It's worked perfectly ever since then. _________________ http://www.bddetailing.com Keep your car looking as good as possible!

I thought mine was dead for over a year and then pulling a homer simpson "DOH!" I checked the fluid and it was bone dry. It's worked perfectly ever since then. To make a long story short: the pump died one day on the side of the highway. The roof was blocked down; nothing could be done. Following the advice of some fellow members of V6Z24 (it might even have been you, I can't recall) I unhooked the lines leading to the pump - which created a vile ejaculation of stinking, olive-colored oil that spilled across the area behind my rear seats and in the back of the trunk - and raised the roof manually with my father, who couldn't help muttering some terrible words about the quality of my poor car. The roof was "fixed" for 2000 dollars when I asked a garage to replace the convertible cover. It worked a grand total of three times. Then it died, and the roof stayed up for a few months, until I recently realized that with a little force I could successfully lower and raise the top. It is what I will continue doing until I find the funds to fix it - and, incidentally, when I figure out just what the hell I'm going to do with the car when I move to Florida! And sorry, that wasn't such a short story after all. _________________

When the car was brought here ten years ago, the inspection had us change them. And thanks _________________

The day I entirely fix up the car - suspension, roof, brakes, engine, and sound system - the lights will be adjusted. _________________

My advice is bring that thing with you, you'll be in heaven with all the parts available and cheap mechainic service (semi-cheap at least lol) _________________ G-U-NOT is a thief, the "usable" engine I traded my wheels for turns out would make a good paperweight

The V8, rear wheel drive? I mean, how much am I attached to the looks of my car, which to be honest are one of the main reasons I keep it at all? _________________
