Hi, I'm new member. I'm retired from mainframe computing. It's time to replace the timing belt in my wife's 2005 for the 2nd time. I'm doing it myself so I found this site while researching how-to. My wife loves the car, and to be honest I also like it. We were at our Chevy dealer to replace our 'burb. My wife saw the car and wanted it for her commuter car. Having once driven an "Aspire" from Ford, I did not want it because I figured it could not get out of it's own way. She talked me into a test drive and I was sold! It might not get the best gas mileage of the available small cars, but I can buy a LOT of gas for the 15 to 20 thousand difference in price. I'm a Camaro guy with a '94 (with very few original drivetrain parts - still a stock LT1) and an '02' LE SS. I also have a '95' Z28 which is my track only drag car on which I do most of the work after it was built. Yeah, back when I had a nice income before I was laid off and decided to retire.
