...yes thats the car they gave me while doing the transmission work on my '03 MM. The first day it wasn't too bad, only drove it 20 miles, but then it got worse, the seats only have about 1 1/2" of padding, they are narrow, and short, (they only support half your upper leg), all the controls are within reach, some on the wheel, don't know what they do, I didn't read the book. It's noisy, and a harsh ride. It has a 3.9 Lt., so it's quick off the line, but at the shift it's like grandma took over. The real proof is the wife hates it. Her brother bought a new one in '03, and loves it, I wouldn't have one for a winter car. I could go on and on, but the MM will be done tomorrow, oh happy days.

The LT sucks but the SS isn't bad.

Eh, I liked the 80's SS MC's, but they, just like most Chevys, are played out.

$95.20... Thats what it cost me for my rebuilt transmission, $50, deductible, trans fluid, and filter, tail shaft seal, and 8 days car rental, w/ insurance. Wow, they really did me right, I've never been happier after leaving the dealership.

Now go beat the piss out of it to make sure they did the job right.

Either that...or now it's time for a tune???

Wifey said beat the ---- out of it before the wananty is up. I may be a little hard on it, but no. Also my old tranny must have had a J-mod, this doesn't try to take the rear-end out when you shift under throttle.
