ps i drive a 2005 grand prix gt, cloth seats, factory radio (no bose) smooth as hell driving. dependable as all hell. and i spent a whopping 6k on it with 60k miles. this is just me, but hey its simple and it works. plus without spending tons of cash or getting a $10,000+ loan I have all that extra cash to drop on the evo or save up for another project
A trusty Grand Prix is what spontaneously combusted next to my buddies brand new Mazda 2 and burnt it to the ground.

It was a serious recall, thanks for posting the links Rosey. The one that burnt my friends car down had the recall "fixed" as well. Their insurance wouldn't pay my friend because they said technically it wasn't the owners fault. I won't own a Grand Prix anymore after that experience.

I assume his insurance paid for it and took them to court over it?
