Nice sporty and solid look and feel for a very inexpensive price. Grand Ams are pretty solid nowadays. >> YOU can't believe it stopped in time?? *I* can't believe it. > Yeah, you must've been watching your rear view pretty closely. What I do remember is a 5 series passing me on the highway. Then I felt my car start to slip. I let go of the gas, but it was too late. I started spinning. For a while, it felt like I couldn't pull out of the spin. But I was able to (somehow). I skidded perpendicular to the mountainside and gently slammed into the mountain (no damage). I hear screeching and I see the headlights of a white suburban inches from my car. >> It's hilarious. But for tomorrow's commute, I'm going to have to deal >> with a loaner SAAB/rental.

I definitely noticed the difference between the Aero and the SE. The handling just wasn't there. The acceleration definitely was lacking. And it didn't feel as solid as the Aero. The 30HP and a tighter suspension and a few other sport tweaks really differentiates the Aero!! I wonder how different the extra 20 HP and better seats make the 2002 Aeros. >> Oh no..

My boss is determined to send me to a management program at harvard for a month... At least after the dot.com slide is over (assuming my company survives). Gotta find more funding. :( -- Marc Escuro mgescuronopsam.com http://home.att.net/~bryesquire "...when all hope is gone, you know sad songs say so much..."
