Reply #23: GM (Pontiac Grand Am).

[blonndee]

Before this I had a little Sunbird that I drove for about nine years. My Grand Am is a 2001 and despite my NOT taking care of it like I should, it's been a good one that hasn't given a bit of trouble. NOTHING (knock on wood) has gone wrong with it. All I've ever had to do with it is replace a battery and put new tires on.

My Sunbird was a tough little car, too. It started costing me a little money in replacements and repairs as it got older, but considering I was rough on it, it really held up, too. I'm sure someone out there is still driving it. I know Pontiacs aren't supposed to be cool cars, but I've been very happy with both of mine. I hope this one will last as long (and longer!) than the last, because a new one is nowhere in my near future.

ETA: My dad had a Chevy (GM) pickup that he bought used (it already had about 100K miles on it when he bought it) and he put more than 300K himself on that sucker before it finally had to go. He had that truck forever. Good old "Blue." :)
