Taking my Grand Prix on a small trip?



Exhaust leak will just make it sound annoying and affect the MPG some. I drove my grand prix on a trip of about 4000-4500 miles once. And it was before I replaced the transmission and it was having trouble shifting from park. Only thing that happend along the way was I broke an idler pulley and slayed a curb dragon (f'd up a rim).

Only way 110 miles is gonna be a problem is if your car is in seriously bad shape. An exhaust leak doesnt qualify.
 


Hold on a second....you said something about having bad luck with older cars? Care to elaborate?

The 3800 is a tank and will take a lot of punishment, but it is not impervious to supernatural forces such as bad luck or Murphy's law.
 


mightycarmods did an episode on what works best to clean headlights. toothpaste works very well, an avocado works even better, and a headlight polishing kit (I have one with a powerball made by Mother's) works only slightly better than the avocado. Or you could use fine grit sandpaper and wetsand them and then buff with metal polish. the kit I have Ive used on my taurus sho once (when I had it) and on my tbird 3 times (before I took it off the road). pretty much makes the headlight lenses look as close to brand new without actually buying brand new ones. you might have to reclean them a few times a year, but it really doesnt take long with a power drill.
