I'll second that, I love my 3.8 1996 Olds 88. Roomy and
great gas mileage and they can be bought pretty cheap. I bought mine for $1200
with a leaky upper manifold and fixed it for $200

el camino?
Someone asked a similar question a few weeks ago at
Chevelle Tech. Favorable reviews were given to any of the
full size GM FWD equipped with the 3.8l V-6. Seems like they are
reliable & get outstanding gas economy. A co-worker has a
Buick and claims 28-32 mpg on the highway. Trunk is huge.

Well, I am

fair amount of [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a way that is not visible from the outside. If
anybody knows of a garage available on Long Island, please let me know.
Also, any suggestions for the next commuter car are welcome, but I do want
something that hides the stuff in the back. One bad thing about the El
Camino has always been that I can't leave anything in the back and walk
away, and still expect it to be there when I get back. Then there was the
time when I came back and someone had loaded the bed with garbage...
Anyway, I am going to eventually
have to do this car over again, and hopefully better. The next time I invest
that sort of time and money into it I will not want to treat it like an
everyday beater again afterwards.
Thanks,
