$10,000.... old V8 or new I4?

>rwd
>lack of control

My bait folder isn't big enough

Seriously. Git gud.

OP if you want actual advice regarding your post...I own an 04 GTP (no V8) and work at a dealer and we have had a few Sonics come in. Sonics are shit and I wouldn't bother

My advice is to get a 04-05 GTP Comp G if you dig the GP's (has every feature the GXP does minus the suede/V8) for 3-4k and put at most 1k into the engine. You will be making so much more power than the GXP and you will have saved so much money in the process too. There is a HUGE aftermarket for these cars so you will have no problem finding parts at a pretty low cost. Not to mention the 3800 is meme tier reliable so you won't ever have it go bad on you (I'm at 180k on mine, all is good).

The weak links in the W-Bodys are the tranny and because the 5.3 is aluminum, there is alot more heat being soaked in by the tranny. Its pretty hard to find a GXP that hasn't had transmission work done to them. Also the DoD system can fail and there goes your heads/engine.

>literally a wall of text

i'm not going to read all of that shit, you should at least understand what you are talking about, at least the bare minimum, socialism is fucking garbage, but what is happening there is state capitalism

the goverments cuba, iran and even north korea have been doing a shitload of buisness with capitalist goverments, so has venezuela

you are a dumbass who actually belives those dictatorship follow the values they idolize

>why my frs with PRIUS TIRES is unusable in the sanow

>Those are Authoritarian shitholes
and if you really believe in capitalism, then you would understand that globalization is just an extension of it. the idea is to grow and expand onward and upward to maintain success, and you do that by reaching out to global markets.

you can't be an isolationist and a capitalist bruv, not anymore unless you want some mega weird completely disproportionate tiny ecosystem that will collapse after 5 years.

Outsourcing only happened because of big government laws and agencies like the EPA

>Get a global ban for making an automatic vs manual thread
>People/tripfags discussing politics on Veeky Forums is ok

Keep it up janitorial staff

>I only buy GM products.
Why, brand loyalty? The brand doesn't care about you, neither you should care about the brand.

Outsourcing happened because big companies want to build the same shit for pennies at the ass end of nowhere, ship it here and sell it at the same old high price to your sorry ass.

At least 6 people in my family the past three generations have worked for GM - either directly manufacturing the vehicles, repairing them, or somewhere within in the corporation itself. (Myself excluded)

I just grew up around all GM products and have always had easy access to repairs and service for them.
