    I'm the original owner of a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT in blue! What a great looking car. I cannot believe how rough it looked under the engine, that thing looks like it's seen some things in its life.

    Hey Randy, fyi, if you find a Avalanche with a 6.2 in it ....BUY IT ....only made in 2009/10 they are very rare and very hard to find stats on but I assure you they made them.
    On the exhaust on the Avy's have 2 styles to identify them.
    1) the 5.3 have curved down tip from the factory
    2) the 6.0 and very rare 6.2 have a straight larger exhaust tip.... if you see this type start looking for a 6.2 tag under the hood.
    Fyi in your search, good video 👍🏻 Mark

    My wife had a Maxima. If I remember correctly it was a 91. It was a 5 speed sport version
    with the factory rear spoiler. It only had 40,000 miles on it when we bought it, but it had
    283,000 on it when we finally sold it. The only things we did to it was a clutch, radiator and
    a couple timing belts. It still ran great when we sold it...
    $12,000 for that Challenger. Somebody has been smokin some crack. I'd get more excited
    about the old Buick for a couple hundred bucks.

It’s in pretty rough shape like you said, but I am sort of glad that you walked away from it because it’s in pretty rough shape and I think you could find out the better one on beryllium. I hope you have a wonderful day and I’ll talk to you soon. I can’t wait to see your next video whatever you have planned for tomorrow talk to you later man
