a-ha! That totally makes sense.

I had no idea the risk I was taking when I used to drive my Cavalier through Ohio, lol.

Didja ever get some skeevy-looking guy at a gas station in Ohio who told you, "Hey, nice car you got there," and you thought it was some sort of bad pick-up line? Well now you know--HE REALLY WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN YOUR CAR, OMG.

*snort* Sad thing is, what was in my car was probably worth more than the car itself, by that point...heh.

Aww, poor little Cavalier. :(

How many miles did that car have on it? It was some number north of 200K that made me suspect divine intervention was at work, IIRC.

197K! I still can't believe it. A friend of mine who used to work at a Chevy dealership was absolutely incredulous when I told her that--she said they usually blew up around 80-100K.

I'm still sad that I didn't get to see it change over to 200K, though. :(
