Haha nice, i'd love to have a v8 myself. For the mileage, i'd like to have the extra power.

As far as the too much power and getting into trouble... I'm the exact opposite. I tried to do a lot more stupid crap inmy crappy old Cavalier. It seems the more powerful the vehicle I get, the more careful I am and cautious with it. Could be just growing up and maturing too, but I still think if I hopped out of my truck and into a pinto, I'd have the pedal on the floor a lot more. Doing E-brake turns, trying to race vettes off stop lights, etc. Not sure why. lol

actually im the same way, when i had my v6 truck(or i drive my dads) im always finding the pedal on the floor, its just that with the v8/more power you feel that you have nothing to prove because you know that the power is there weras when you dont have it you want to feel like you have it so you drive the car harder, just my .02

hey people:

we bought it yesterday for 2600 from the guy. So, we have it. I like it so far. You can tell it is a 4 cylinder on hills, lol. but, w/e, it doesn't matter to me at this point in time, maybe ill upgrade the engine. Probably. I like it though, good condition, the interior could use a good cleaning. It runs well. Well, yeah
