New member obviously. Previously owned a V8 Jeep GC but it became a money pit after 100K. The stealership tried to sell me a Dodge Nitro but I told them I'd rather keep my clunker and the next morning I drove to the Chevy place and left with a white '09 Impala SS. Never was a big fan behind the idea of a front drive V8 but it's a very decent car and it gets the job done.

 

Welcome to the place , i was also no chevrolet fan but now i love mi ride and as you wrote, it really gets the job done.
Although i must say that Dodge is a good make.
