Good for you. Hope you don't mind if I don't care.

Not a problem - feeling is mutual.

Then why'd you thread-crap in the first place?

ZV

It wasn't thread crapping - it was an honest answer!

Completely my fault. Sorry.

Oh dear god, you had one of those too? That was my first car. 4 doors, 3 on the tree, 232 turbo-thrift straight 6, IIRC. Gotta love that safety conscious full metal dashboard.
many pieces of crap until I got my current 04 Forester XT.

 

[Black88GTA]

Purchased in order I acquired them...

1985 Buick Century Limited - Engine blew. Donated.
1989 Lincoln Continental Signature - hit patch of ice, wrecked
1983 Oldsmobile Regency 98 - sold
*1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA - in speed shop getting lots of work done
1989 Yamaha Razz scooter - drove in college, gave to brother, no longer runs
1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille - mechanical problems, sold
1992 Ford Mustang LX Notchback - trans blew. sold for parts
1987 Yamaha Razz scooter, bought for parts but ran better than other bike. drove in college. gave to brother, no longer runs.
1988 Chrysler Conquest Tsi - too much work to keep going, not good for a daily driver, sold
*1989 Honda Prelude 2.0si - has mechanical issues, will probably sell soon
*1994 BMW 840Ci - current daily driver

* = still have it

What this all says - No brand / country loyalties, prefer older / less complicated cars, like 2 doors, have a tendency to prefer cars that are quirky or uncommon.

Yes it does...and it makes alot of power...something like 270 hp....it pulls hard when you need it to...for a truck that big...it has plenty of giddyup...
