Hi folks. I purchased my wife a new red GT with sunroof, ONstar etc. back in 2002. She has 80k on it now and still on OE spark plugs. I have had the tranny serviced at Chevy dealer every year, coolant flushed every other year and kept the oil changed at 3k. It is in perfect condition and no 'hard parts' failing other than the shifter solenoid (allen wrench works perfect to manually actuate the release in the column)
That is my confession.
I love this site!!
