a 1973 Impala SS that I paid $100 for, had been parked beside the river for a long time and required me to shovel it out from under two feet of snow...then it cranked up on the first try and never gave me any trouble (until my ex pulled out in front of a station wagon). LOVED that beast of a car!
and a 2003 brand new Impala that drove like a dream! My son wanted to paint custom flames on it and lettering under the driver's side window that said "Purple People Eater".... (it wasn't quite purple, but the deep maroon could look so in the right light)... it was a sweet ride until I was hit head-on by a drunk driver.
my next car and GM's horrible customer service relating to warranty issues completely turned me against GM products ...
But since then, I have been "gifted" a really nice Buick LeSabre that I will drive until the wheels fall off, because I love it so....
