It finally happened

[adam71 5,000+ posts]

My '97 Grand Am finally died a few weeks ago after almost 10 years of loyal service to me. It had over 220,000 miles on it. I will miss it in some ways but not in others. I put alot of work into it system wise and now I have to start over but that will be fun. Alot of things that I didn't do to the Grand Am will definitely be done to my new car.

Old car, Grand Am install.

It's still sitting at my buddy's house. Haven't decided what to do with it yet. The engine siezed up so that is definitely NO good. Not sure about everything else. I just gutted the system last weekend.

Yeah I know alot of people own grand Ams, so u can for sure at least get a good few thousand by parting it out.

can't complain about 220,000 miles.

No, I'm not complaining really. All the little things were going wrong too. The engine siezing up was just final straw that broke the camel's back.

Impressive yes and more reliable.
