This ^^^ My dad's 07 1500 has 70k on it; and when you get on it, it just doesn't feel right. Now my alero @130k and my girls 90 calais @105k both get rode hard at times. The calais will just stove up and wont have any power till it gets rode hard.

In Detroit they have some of the shortest on ramps i ever seen. It's like on ramp going down to interstate (steep hill). Then you have 50' of level ground to move into the flow of traffic that's going 80mpg.

Side note, i did have a weird problem when i first got my 01 GA in 02. 2.4. On wot WOT at would start blowing white smoke like the head gasket went. Dealer said the pcm needed an update.
