Yeaaaah.

My work commute is only 12 miles round trip.....so the cost is negligible.....

I agree on the headlight issue. At the very least I'll replace the doors so they're shiny and clear again.....Euro's are a bit pricey.... With silverstar bulbs the lights aren't that bad.....not as good as modern cars but plenty good for me. Its wired so that I can use the fog's with the marker lights by themselves, neato!

First order of business is the fuel pumps, they sound worse than any I've ever heard, just like a dying motor with its bearings screeching.

The prev. owner put Chinese "Triangle" brand tires on it that sound like an airplane over 20mph....going to have to ditch those in the spring too....

Its nice having a car where its needs list fits on a small sticky note instead of a piece of letter size paper!
