Which engine did your 1995 Camaro have? Which engines do your 2000 Grand Am and 2004 VW Jetta?

I know what you mean about bad roads. My relatives live in areas where there is no pavement. Other areas the road has huge cracks. That area is on the list of worst roads in the U.S. SUVs and trucks are very popular in that area. My Intrepid is adequate most of the time, except for the time we got 11 inch snow. Boy did that stink.

How often does it rain in your area? Is it one of those environments that rains a lot all the time, or one of those it doesn't rain often but when it rains, it rains big time?
