So, after meeting my new neighbor by way of him smashing up my SUV, I finally got around to getting it fixed. I dropped it off at the Service King, and then I waited for my rental to show up from Enterprise... a 305 HP 2017 Chevy Impala Premier. Holy bejeezus this thing is fast. It's even got a Manual mode 6 speed with shifting on the stick (+ and - for gear changes), which makes this thing a monster. I have it until Monday, but I'm not sure if I wanna give it back.
Specs: 2017 Chevrolet Impala Premier w/2LZ 4dr Sedan Pricing and Options Here's the specs for the SS model, which is basically a Corvette with an Impala body: 2016 SS Sports Sedan: 4-Door Sports Car | Chevrolet I'll be in the market for something next spring, but I'm looking into getting some old school muscle that I can work on. I have the option of buying this from the owner of the company I work for at a good price: 1966 Chevy Impala: I really want an early 70's Camaro though. I'll probably end up getting a bike.

(Mine was green with a black Landau top) Then there was my 1976 Chevy Nova Concours... if that car could talk. I blew the motor racing a Mustang down the Dan Ryan in Chicago. (This might even be the one I owned)

Today, the turbo Eclipses (the GSX in particular) have gone on to have a great reputation among tuners and serious car enthusiasts. Anymore, their biggest reputation problem, IMO, is from bad, trashy custom jobs that people do on the cheap. They are also beat on, mercilessly, and as a result, people think they're unreliable. I definitely miss mine and would like to own one again. I always got looks from people in other cars when I was on the road. Often people would say "nice car" when sitting at stoplights and so forth, and it was a blast to drive. |
