That accident is a stark reminder of just how dangerous driving is--drive defensively! Wear a seatbelt! Wherever you're trying to go is not worth putting yourself or others in danger. Glad no one lost their lives, but obviously double amputation is life-changing. Stay safe out there 👏

I remember going to a supermarket, in Jersey City, in early 1982. Outside the entrance there was parked a shiny black Cimarron, obviously new, with a smart young man behind the wheel. Two elderly women, evidently known to him, and who would certainly remember the Cadillacs of the 40s and 50s and 60s, were loudly and determinedly telling him "THAT AIN'T NO CADILLAC!".

[@phil3924]

That is amazing. I remember always wanting one of those as a kid. Great work.

[@Mr.Deko86]

Thank you for the video. Great trip. That's long trip cleaned out the entire fuel system and sludge in the engine. I had an 88 for 12 years. Only issue was at the end when the entire electrical harness fried. I would get another in a heartbeat.

[@Parknest]

GM's J car was sold in Europe as the Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Ascona. The modern equivalent is the Vauxhall/Opel Insignia. GM ended up selling the Vauxhall and Opel brands to Groupe PSA so the new models are basically rebadged Citroens and Peugeots.

[@robertsmall2061]

So glad the Cimarron is at a loving home! Hope it'll serve Bruiser Beaters for many years to come! Damn I hope the truck driver is doing okay mentally without his legs... But I think Jeb has done well getting to Logan, it's not an easy place to navigate so I've heard!

I have an 2.8 1988 s10 with the EFI and it also has a stiff Gas Pedal. The throttle bodies are just made with a certain way of spring tension so a lot of people have that complaint. Changing the decant cable and the throttle cable did not do anything so after that I found two solutions to save my right knee. 1. I was able to add a solid state cruise control from an 89 c body GM truck (not the older vacuum kind) . I found it in the junk yrd. I did a few attempts and a lot of research on s10 and other gm truck forums before I found the exact right one that could take the VSS signal from the OBD1 wires, and the 88 s10 had a specific optically generated speed signal relating to the speedometer since that was one of the first years they transitioned to electronic generated speed signals for the cars computer and speedometer operation. So it works great except that the cruise thinks the truck is 1/2 the speed it is really going so therefore the cruise can only turn on a speeds of 50 MPH or greater than 50 (most cruises are set to work at 25mph or more). #2. I added a spring to counter the tension of the throttle body spring. So it pulls in the opposite direction. I had to find just the right spring so that this did not make my idle speed increase. Now I can drive and it feels like a normal gas pedal and i have cruise on the hwy.

[@dirtbike9003]

VSS probably has CE light on too. Also TCC lockup solenoid on the THM125 Trans are junk. Some would intermittently lock, fail to lock, or stay locked up causing engine to stall when coming to a stop. But again lockup needs speed input to ecm to work.

So when people used to (and still do) say these computer controlled cars will be long off the road, not like the good older cars....well here we are. Turns out it wasn't too hard at all to get it going again. Are new cars way more complicated than a J-body? Obviously. But if you were a car guy when this Cimarron was new you probably would have sworn there'd be no way or desire to get it back on the road someday. Again, here we are.
