Seriously, who the eff is going to buy an 11 year old Grand AM for $13,500? The effn thing just screams rice-a-roni.
A: The person who is willing to buy it?....
The kids that work on the rigs and/or have trust funds know to buy something better than that. My point is that no matter how much you put into a GA, it's still a GA and still holds low resale value.
HA! I remember that car, the NOS kit is fairly new, the engine was redone after Brad kicked its butt lol, he use to go to the meets on fridays
"As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride." -Amen
Hey! It has that wing that never looks good on anything! Typical Alberta idiot...

Wow, this effin stereotype gets old quickly. Try working up here, it's different than you can imagine......
Anyway, the car is absolutely hideous.....oh my....
Remember there are alot of people on here who want 10k plus for cavaliers. Personally I wouldn't sell my Sunfire for less than 11k. Will I ever get that, No, but if parted I could get more than that so to each his own... on a side note that car is fukugly

Hardly a stereotype at all. Everyone knows that black collar work pays the most for the least amount of education required. I/T here has dried up faster than the collapse of the US economy, and I/T was something this Province was known for.

Hardly a stereotype at all? I beg to differ.
Least amount of education required? I'm sorry, but isn't a basic IT Course 9 months? Hmmmm....my trade is 4 years, not including that Electrical Engineering Degree I've got.... Yes the IT industry has gone south in Alberta. Then relocate to a new province that has a better market. Go where the work is or make a career change. It's never too late.
I still don't understand how people assume that everyone up here is similar and 'rig pigs' get marked into this demeaning category....essentially by others who have never seen the work or taken the time to learn the finer details about the industry.
Yes, there are a couple trades up here (scaffolding and insulation) that maybe fit that category, but the thousands of 'Black Collar' Electricians, Instrumentation Techs, Welders, Power Linesmen, Pipefitters, Crane Ops, Millrights, Ironworkers and Snubbers (do you even know what career a snubber is?) do not.
Ty to explain your stereotype to probably the most respected guy on Alberta, and possibly the entire forum if he makes it to the next southern Alberta meet....maybe you need that second opinion because mine isn't as 'valid' as you would like. Yes, all 'Snubbers' spend a @!#$load of cash and are dirty, greasy, 'Black Collar' workers.
Take your IT job to another province, or stay with your 50k a year, vote Liberal, and keep that stereotype going!
That car looks worth it...
*Custom Trunk $2,000
*Custom Paint $1,000
*Wing $10,000

Idiot with money... Priceless.
