    my local mechanic just told me yesterday his cousin who has a used car lot has spent over a 150k on that junk. and is trying to get him to work on them for resale. i was happy to hear he told his cousin NO!

    those cars should have went straight to the autoshredder in my opinion (except our bumpers)
    Those were the days.........

    No joke. We're having enough trouble with brake lines rotting out from the new road salt they're using, much less having half the ocean up in it.
