^^Sorry to hear about that unfortunate purchase!
Come to think of it, that LS was how I met Shane.

I first took it to get detailed at a friend of my fil and I was pissed that he put 6km on it while it was there - turns out the local Timmies is exactly 3km from his shop. Anyway, I somehow got introduced to Shane soon after and ended up taking the car to him for a proper detail. So, at least something good came outta owning that POS.

Tortoise, the V6 version was supposed to be quite reliable. My good friend had one and he had no major problems with it after a lot of use, and may even still have it stashed in his old garage. It was still there last time i visited him a couple of years ago.
