today my aveo threw its throwout bearing and cooked the clutch, the engine has been leaking oil, coolant and i had a small break fluid leak for the last year or so, needs new shocks and struts and possibly new bearing, so its just not economical for me to fix it, so i am buying a new f150, i will continue to check in occasionaly.
Dont you have like 200k miles or something like that? Shows how good these little things really are lol
Im sure ill still see ya around on HIDP, and good luck with the F150. let us know how it goes
2 - 3 years of paying for gas in that f-150 might cover the cost of the used engine swap...
anyhow, good luck with the new purchase.
You cant go moose hunting in an aveo for one and, I have had several times now in the rocky Mountain snowstorms where 4x4 would have helped me and besides they way i drive, a truck is really the only option, as i need the room in it to pull over and sleep correctly cause i work a 14 hr shift then drive for four hours sleep for 8 or so then continue on for another 10 hours, the aveo just wasnt cutting it anymore, and i was also gonna get a speeding ticket sooner or later if i didnt have cruise control.
you dont have to defend yourself.. i was just saying..
I'm keeping my aveo until i get the money for an rs4.. and then the apr supercharger.. so the f150 will be gas friendly compared to that.
true, i have reached that point in my life where fuel economy is not so important anymore, so i am looking for comfort lol. but the aveo has been a fun little car especially on freshly paved windy mountain roads.
Sorry, but I am drunk, bored, and it is WAY past my bedtime. Dang night shift.
Kevin, no you do not have to defend your position.
Ford F-150=expensive gas [based on my commute].
Toy: 1996 built Cherokee.
Aveo: Daily Driver (60 mile commute, at least 10 times per week). I am DYING for a faster, more gas guzzling car, but is is not logical. When I bought the Aveo, the difference in the price of gas (XJ vs. Aveo) paid for the price of the car payment. As much as I want a toy for speed, a lack of car payments keeps me logical.
Oh yeah, the reason I posted...
Set the car aside. Replace the clutch. Driver her into the ground and save pennies on gas.
replace the clutch, then demo mother f'ing derby lmao
it just wasnt cutting it anymore, i put on over 2500kms per week or 1500miles and i need something that has ac, cruise control(i was gonna get a speeding ticket sooner or later) and wont leave me stranded lol, my aveo has done that a couple times now.
