Make a couple good highway runs with it....not sure how long it's been sitting but giving it WOT on the on ramp every once in a while isnt a bad idea.

I drove it from Wisconsin, no issues and I'll drive it tomorrow before I get the test done. It really is a pretty good old hooptie, and I found a buyer for it. I just need to get the tag and a Ga. Title for it, so I can transfer it to them.

I have an appreciation for the late 90s early 2000s GMs. They kinda suck, but are usually pretty comfortable, relatively reliable, and most importantly very cheap and easy to fix. If I was to buy a car to drive around I'd buy a panther body tho.

Here's that "fake snake" I thought someone put in the bushes as a prank. I mean, it was Disney World in the middle of the summer with thousands of people walking around and this snake is 1' off the path where people are walking lol...

He almost got me @CQB27!

I have a gazillion of those thermold 20 rounders. I think they are trash though.
I bought 10 when they were like $4 each from some company about a year ago. I took the time to stipple one everywhere that wasn’t covered by the mag well, and promptly lost that mag. I almost never lose stuff, it pissed me off. Gonna sit down during the holidays (maybe during college football games) and stipple a few more.
They’re great for my EDC AR pistol-in-a-bag.

Worst it will likely do is give subpar fuel economy. I replace O2s myself since they are cheap. Alot of newer cars will throw the ECU into limp mode for major emissions codes like that. Really, any code stored in the OBD 2 is emissions related. If the O2 readings are off it can make the car run rich or lean. There are usually 2 O2 sensors, one upstream and one down stream of the cat. The readings are averaged to help tune fuel trims. Some newer cars have 3 or 4. Another reason I buy older cars.

I guess we'll just see how the thing runs. I imagine if we can get 40k more out of it we'll be at 200k miles and probably be looking for something else anyway.

@KERTWOOD and car experts - wife's Pathfinder with 160k miles started idling really rough. Took to dealer instead of local mechanic mostly due to local mechanic is cheaper but takes way longer. Dealer wanted to replace the cat for $3k! And also flushed the fuel line and replaced the fuel damper. I'd never heard of the latter. Car is running way smoother now but the dealer is convinced the car is going to blow up since I didn't replace the cat. I drove for years with a check engine in a maxima as we don't have emissions in our county. So is the dealer full of it or should I have my local guy replace the cat so the engine doesn't have catastrophic failure?

If it really is the catalytic converter take it to a muffler shop and have them put a "high flow" catalytic converter on it. It will be 1/4 of the price of a regular cat. It's basically a hollowed out cat with 1/4 of the material in there. It might make the exhaust a little bit louder but with factory mufflers, resonators and most newer cars have multiple cats it won't be that much louder. I did that with my old car and saved over a grand versus putting a regular cat on it.
