Davy, davy, davy, can you understand anything written? If I was selling and
you ask me for receipts there wouldn`t be any. Do you understand that?
People don`t have to cough up the cars record if they don`t want to. Do you
understand that? A day in the shop is to change a light bulb, to find a
problem in the computer is a week if you`re lucky. Now if you read the post
and didn`t need to piss in my beer you would know that they can get that
from the dealer, any GM dealer, or a friend that works where they have
access to a GM link (may not even need that). You can also get body damage
that was not repaired buy a GM dealer, it`s all on WEBTV, right?
If you consider that the car had to go about 50 miles a day, every day, to
acquire that kind of mileage, my guess is that it didn`t have "many
breakdowns" as you suggest.
Leave the guy alone he`s trying to buy/sell a car and ask for some impute,
not your theories, argumentative banter, or conjecture.
Go paint those plastic wheel wells.

Title: 超级跑车比省油
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:03:27 +0000
Author: daiwei2136
奔驰SLR， 法拉利599，阿斯顿马丁DBS，奥迪R8和兰博基尼5辆超级跑车各载1加仑油比赛。法拉利599开了1.7miles就熄火了。第二辆退出的是阿斯顿马丁，奔驰SLR是第三个退出，主持人驾驶的兰博基尼位居第二，最后的冠军是奥迪R8，它足足跑了5miles，如果你想买节油的跑车，那就是奥迪R8。
问你宝马M3(M为竞速)和丰田Prius(51mpg in city)哪个更经济，99％的会说丰田。但是结果显示每加仑M3比Prius多跑2 miles，如果你想买节油的车，Go get BMW M3，LOL！
