Only if you like ugly things.

I understand that man, believe me. I actually drove one today, and the
look does grow on you. It's not the ugly honestly, and I went all day
saying those are the ugliest cars I have ever seen until I finally got
to see one up really close. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
Maybe it is ugly, but I need a car bad, and I am approved. I'm
thinking I can get past the ugliness, just worried about performance
at this point. So I'll probably be laughed at or thought of as a fool
for getting such and ugly car, but I looked at it long and hard today
for over an hour. it doesn't look that bad actually, especially the
2003

If Dennis followed that rule we'd never see him post again, he'd have to
just lurk.

That's not specific to the Aztek - it's a 3800 Series 2 problem - and
even affects some earlier 3.8s. Unlike the intake leaks on a WindStar,
it is not necessarily fatal.

I was not aware GM was putting 3800's into Azteks.
When did they start doing that?

They dont, clare must not know that the 3.1's and the 3.4's have lower
intake gasket failures. The 3800 Series II has intake failures at the
egr passage or throttle body gasket.
