    Sorry to say it, but this car is no longer available. I'm gonna hold on to her for a little while longer, seeing as how not very many people are interested - at least enough to come up with the cash, and how she's treated me so good since I bought her. Thanks for the interest, but she...

    Unless my math is bad, it works out to about 50 cents a mile. Not too bad. Oh well, happy hunting... Hope you can find a car.

    I actually do spray down the engine, just be carefull with the water around the fuse box, alternator and spark plugs. pre-rinse, spray degreaser, scrub down if necessary, then rinse. don't let the degreaser stay on the paint too long, as it could damage it.

    Nothing special, I just spray some diluted degreaser and wash the engine about every other time I wash the car.

    Thank you, captain obvious... But there is that small minority of people who may just be looking for a car, or know someone who is... anyway, the offer still stands... $8900 for the car as-is.

    Tuning for the hills

    So the general concensus is to go sway first, then springs? I usually have the car loaded down with the wife & kids when I'm driving through the hills up here, considering that load would it be better to get the 21mm rear sway bar or the 19?
