I had the Malibu out for a Spring drive about 3 weeks ago one Saturday afternoon when it was about 65 degrees out, and ended up at Gearlube's place.

When I attach pics, they only show up in the attachments area, and not in the post. Is it a formatting thing? I've noticed when some of you attach a pic, it's also in the body of the post, and want to figure out how to do that without uploading to Photobucket and pasting the URL into the post. Thanks.

The graph is in the story too, but this shows how crazy the power has changed over the years. I would assume the initial drop is when they changed from brake horsepower (bhp) to net horsepower in 1971 since most of the actual power drop started in 1975. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/02/...
