    Silver and blue is my theme, here's some interior shots, not very good but it gives you idea.

    I know all about the history of our engines. And I know that the 3800 is one of the most widely used engines in GM history. I believe the first one was called the "231" which had a lot of issues. I thought he was implying something else. That's why I asked....

    First one was NOT the 231 but any-who. Buick V6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The car in your avatar is green hence asking.

    Blue + silver does look good though.

    Note I didn't read your sig, just saw the avatar.
