And people used to say the HHR was unreliable and poorly built, in 14 years Oldblue and the BlackSwan have been 2 of the best cars I’ve owned.

They aren't exactly a car for car enthusiasts. But they are relable as heck. And with current car prices...ill just keep this guy running lol. Might as well spend that money on upgrades and making it nicer. Much cheaper.

I've had a few people comment on their appearance. If you know the 1948 or whatever suburban then you'll see the resemblance. Which actually makes it kinda cool. No one said anything bad when they made new plastic boats out of old school chargers, challengers, camaros....

If you’re certain to buy new tires too, check out tirerack.com. They will install the tires on the rims for you, balance them, and ship them to your house for free. I don’t know how you can beat that.

I do. The tires are $50 more expensive, each, for the cheapest 215/55/16 option compared to Wal-Mart.

Discount Tire is my go too lately.They have good sales and rebates all the time.Tire Rack's prices have gone through the roof in recent years.
Be aware that most tires sold at Walmart are made specifically for them and are usually not as good as the same brand found in other places.

Its not just tires either.A lot of their products are specific models sold only at Walmart.It helps them avoid having to price match other retailers.(and vice versa)
I really hit the lottery last time I purchased tires.(Discount Tire)4 General GMAX tires balanced and mounted for 225.00.
