Your loss is good for the economy - think about all the new Sh!t you have to buy... so you're helping out lots of hard working Americans.




Of course I'm just giving you a hard time -- but it is what it is.


Was with a buddy at a car show - we had dropped off his rare Defender 90 at the dealership for service the day before... he gets a call from them -- "do you know where your car is?" He says -- "No, Don't you".... Nope -- someone had nabbed if from the dealers lot!

They found the truck months later at a chop shop - or I should say they found parts of it. In the meantime the insurance had bought him a new one.

Mike,

I know it's an LS and all, but it would still slow the LORD way down.

:D

So, to replace it, would you look for a super clean TBSS...or ?

Also, I know a few Saabs had that motor too ... if they appeal to you.

The Saab 97x is still serviceable at any GM dealership. And parts are still available.

May wait a few, see how this plays out with State Farm and get a used Cayenne GTS, maybe. Want to drive one first.
My TBSS was super clean with a coilover kit on it and real nice sound system, still bummed, but like it says on a post-it on my computer "I dont always like His will, but His will be done..."
so we'll see....
