I am not a total loss at mechanical as I own and drag race a diesl truck. (oh and I am also female) However, I have purchased a 2000 GP for a winter driver that is driving me absolutely crazy and I feel as though I have been sucked into a real POS! Someone please tell me this is not the case as I loved the car when I first bought it. I am now off to find an area that talks about trac control and rpm's to 0 for no apparent reason. Oh and this is my first pontiac/gm/chev product.
