yeah lets not talk about that most of the time i'm under 2k city and 3-4k highway, did you baby your car alot?

sell your balt and i'll send you my 1984 monte carlo SS with 80,000 on it i bought it in NY hoping to get it back to FL i only made it to VA. Has alot of new things such as tires, steering pump, fuel pump, radiator, outer tie rod, idler rod. was leaking so much oil had to leave it there it need a new engine if you can do the work yourself its a steal my gift to you for free just pay the transport fees.

i should of rebuilt the monte and boosted it then i would of had a 500+ hp beast but then again i prob would be dead

I wouldn't say I babied it, but I certainly didn't abuse it. I drove it spiritedly.

i guess you could theoretically and possibly make more of a mechanical one that moves the shift cable. but idk, i think it would be to much money for what your getting out of it.
