hi folks, I'm an old school hot rod guy, front drive hater, EFI hater, who was converted by the chevy Lumina and a 5 year stint as a mechanic's assistant for a multi-cab owner, as well as a few years driving one as a Taxi

This is the first RWD car who's driving feel reminds me of my old love, the 60s 70s GM A body (which cannot be bought without a boat load of money theses days)

After working on them a lot, I am impressed with their reliability as well as the (relative) ease of repair

Mine is a 2001 Lumina with california emmissions (yuk, make it harder to work on) which I bough after it came off line as a taxi, and has 291k miles on the original powertrain. A bit down on power, but still runs smooth and will knock down 28 MPG on the hiway

I look forward to interacting with the members here, learning more about these cars, and maybe providing some help myself
