I was driving home from work today, what should I see but a lovely Brand New VE SS with no plates on the side of the road, with smoke coming from under the bonnet and a perplexed driver scratching his head.
Very Impressed. Where do I sign?

hahaha what already?????!!.... didn't even get it registered and they are starting to let out smoke... wonder what national recall caused that problem. Maybe the new VE should come eith a warning sticker on the dash ***WARNING*** Driving this vehicle will damage your health!!!!!!!

I wonder of fire extinguishers are on the options list.
Hey GT, at least you didn't have smoke. I can imagine Denny on the phone to GM saying, "you told me you fixed the piston slap with the LS2".

It'd have to be on the news or some forums somewhere, there is no way people would miss a VE smoking lol

C'mon guys. There's a thing called Murphy's Law.
Wait for the third fire.

Maybe they should have called it "Webber" instead of Omega?
