I think mine was the infamous "Friday Afternoon Production" car. Although I'm reading "Rivethead" by Ben Hamper for about the 5th time, and it could've been pretty much any day or night at GM in the 80-90's!tankme wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 9:27 pmThat's funny because my stepmother had one of those and swears that was one of the best cars she ever owned...lolColemanCollector wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 6:13 pm My '93 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, a car of firsts for me and my wife. The first vehicle we ever bought in the same decade it was built (bought in '99, 95000km), our first automatic, our first fully optioned car, our first supercharged engine, and our first North American manufactured vehicle.
Within the next 10,000km the a/c compressor, alternator, crankshaft sensor, passenger power seat, and a rear window lift all died. Followed that up with the formation of a tiny rust bubble on a rear fender arch and it was a trade-in. I really wanted to like it, but what a steaming pile of unreliability.
Traded in on an Isuzu Trooper w 5 speed that was a real...well...Trooper. One of the vehicles I wish I still had today!

...My POS was a '95 Dodge Neon Coupe in Nitro Yellow Green. That car was in the shop 36 times in 38 months that I owned it...
A Dodge Neon! Bearskin Airlines in Ontario had several of those at various airports across Northern Ontario. They chopped the roofs off of them, and used them to tow the luggage carts out to their Fairchild "Flying Sewerpipe" aircraft. With the roof amputated, they could drive under the wing and pull the cart right up to the cargo door on the plane. Ahhhhh, good times flying to Sioux Lookout, Dryden, and Geraldton!
