The only way it could be worse is if premium fuel were to get over $3 a gallon, or if GM were to offer an all aluminum, 7,000 RPM, EFI crate motor with over 500 horsepower for less than $14,000. I think you're in the clear...for now.

Yep, and GM offers the all-aluminum LS-7 505 HP 7000RPM crate engine for less than 14000 (I think he was kidding)
