Mixx it!
Stumble it!
Ha, GM would turn down a decent powertrain immediately, are you kidding me? They are so proud of their lousy 40 year old pushrod engines that they wouldn’t possibly use real ones.
HUH! I would take a GM car anyday. . Until I stop putting my BMWs in the shop once a month–they will never again get my money for another one of their so-called “machines.”
“Hi, i’m Jacob, and I don’t know how to drive. I keep tearing up my BMWs, so I blame them, even though the 3 series is consistently one of the top cars in reliability testing and reported claims.”
First off, I don’t drive a 3-series. Second, I’m entitled to my opinion and I just do better with other makes.
sure u do jacob
