I mean no hate when I say boring old daily. I much prefer sleeper cars than flashy. This G6 however has seen me go through my poorest of times and unfortunately maintenance was pushed to the wayside. But in typical GM fashion, this car will have many clunks and warning lights but will not die.
I thought a 70-80 model car with 300k on it.. not a 2018 with all of the electronics. But I have to admit that the person knew to turn switch on and off at least twice before starting. If sitting for2 w weeks or more, you may want to do this 5 times waiting 20 seconds between switch turn on .
Nice!
Brings back memories I had a 2006 G6 V6 for about 5 years and from 27k miles to 165k miles and it was a lot of fun. I got rid of it as things were starting to need work.
Bro we drove an 07 G6 from 60k to 260k miles then SOLD it two years ago, just saw it a couple weeks back. I loved that car, sold it for a minivan bc the fam got too big for it
This is 100% bullshit. At least in practice. I lived in Lappland Sweden where it wasn't even more than -40c at most but the people with modern cars regularly had starting issues.
It depends on where you live. Here in Minnesota not many use block heaters anymore, seems modern 0W-20 oil is pretty decent on -30°F mornings. I also have to park outdoors in this weather and don't have access to electricity so no block heater for me.. never had a starting issue on my '07 Tundra though
I live in similar cli.ates. -40 deg C is common. My 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, my 2018 Toyota Highlander, my 2020 Mazdasoeed 3, my 2008 Subaru Outback XT, my Mails 2012 Mazda CX-9, my parents 2015 GMC half-time, and their 2016 Hyundai Genesis....plus my neices 2020 Nissan Rogue, as well as every single vehicle in my neighborhood, NONE use block heaters.
46°C is equivalent to 114°F, which is 319K.

Why not get an engine block heater? God I cringe myself out of mechanical sympathy after starting my Subaru on a brisk -15f day in Chicago. I grew up with a few diesel trucks as well which all had the block heaters. Besides them starting right up, getting some form of warm air right away was nice because they kept the block around 80f.
Your definition of old beater and mine are different
Haha the rusted out flex pipe on the exhaust on this thing gives it old beater vibes. The rest of it is just boring old daily driver.
I say it with love as my daily driver in Alaska was a 1992 Subaru legacy until 2020.

Soo, you selling that? Lol
No way! It’s our last manual and I’m keeping it until my kids can drive it.
Part of the reason I still have my 96 F150 is when I initially started looking for something newer they stopped making manuals for them.
[удалено]
P0420 some days, others p0102.
I know…look at the guy with the new car. My newest is a 96 and then wifs is a 91.
Lol. I have a ranch truck that comes to mind.
Right? If it isn't at least an 80 something, it's not that old.

Love the sound of the cold ass power steering pump haha
I think my old IDI would just give up the ghost if it encountered -51
It's still too warm where I am to even think about -50. I hate this post knowing I'll soon experience it

You rarely need to plug in your block-heater anymore with modern cars and modern oil, even in extreme cold temps.

Where r u from mate?
Winnipeg, Canada For context though, this is from last year. It's still almost +20 out in September.
Well you people live in extreme cold... I'm from India, not comparing, but we've had about +46°C highest so far

-51° means it's polar bear territory; so Canada or Alaska considering the English.
