GM should be telling all of us thanks.

Well everyone knows the big three are in massive financial trouble. I say GM should be sending me a new vette with a thank you note and a mint on the drives seat, The note should say thank you American tax payer. As they will begin to file bankruptcy Im guessing monday. Id happily take a new vette in exchange for being a tax payer maybe then Id call it even, just maybe.
 


Im just fed up with all 3 of the automakers and Im tired of buying transmissions, I think my next car should be a Nissan or a Honda. Maybe some thing like a 350z or and S2000.

never said those were perfect how ever both come in RWD and a manual. :D as for maintenance filter changes at 30k and running synthetic fluid should be good esp when its a bone stock gt but still trans self destruct. I was looking at TB SS's too Ive been very happy with my wifes GMC envoy decent milage for a suv too.

ya and its people like you that put the american made car autoworkers out of bussines, when you buy a import POS 85% of that money goes back across seas and f***s over the american auto workers. so thank you for that
 
Yea but the american auto makers are all union and they always want more money and will never back down a little to save the company they work for.all its about for them is the money and i can understand that but there comes a time when there are more important things.
 


The whole "where the money goes" argument is stupid. There's so much wrong on both sides of the aisle that there's nothing right either way.

I was simply referring to the fact that he says he's having issues then brings up foreign brands like those will be any better.

dont need to start this argument since honda and nissan both have plants in the U.S. :th_laugh-pointup: Thanks for the back up Gixer2000 and Sabrewings I agree with both of you 100% The unions have a huge part in why the big three are where they are today.... In financial trouble.:th_thumb-down: FTW its the unions that put automakers out of business!

Your 100% right and I agree.

Don't argue that fact too much around here though, there are too many here who believe otherwise...

Wow, i'm glad you have taste in cars... ha.

I think the problems with your trannies is you. How can I run my stock 4T65-HD to 150k with any problems on a modded GTP thats was race quiet a bit and flogged many times? I had no problems my only secret is dropping the pan every 20,000 miles, all I ran was Valvoline Dex3 and a Wix filter.

Not getting into this argument. Because your gay Honda is made in the US doesn't make it a US car since the money is going to Japan. Thats all i'm gonna say. If you're dumb enough to believe Toyota and Honda is american, than you need help, thats all I can say.

Go ahead, buy a Jap car. Sounds like you need to anyway. I'll keep what I have because unlike many out there nowadays I have taste in cars...
 
Maybe I could blame myself maybe I could blame the builder of the last 2 transmissions I got. Maybe I could get mad because the sky is blue. Im willing to bet Im not the only person to smoke a trans with 60k miles on it. So what gives? take your **** else where..... I simple stated the S2000 and the 350Z as alternative that meet my request of a RWD manual I bet if I said Id like a brand new Corvette which I already did at the begining of this post you'd shut up right??

Sounds like you have a ****ty trans builder, not a ****ty car.

Yeah you probably are. Several things factor in obviously... how it was taken care of, how poorly it was treated, etc. Then again it could fall in the **** happens catagory. All I can say is I have 2 high mileage GTPs, my black one has 145,000 miles on it on its stock tranny, it runs fine. I had 160,000 on my original trans for my white car (its in the shed working fine, I only swapped it so I could have a stronger tranny with gears and a stall).

Piss poor choices for a RWD manual cars IMO, but again, thats my opinon. At least a Vette is tasteful. There are MANY MANY RWD manual cars I'd choose before either of your choices, then again.... I ain't gonna say it :cool:
