No foolin'.

I own and love simple cars.
I've got a 55 Ford Sunliner and my wife has a 68 MGB, for example.

But technology can be a wonderful thing.....

Yep. They got a lot of things right with this one. From drive train to interior I haven't found much I'd want different. A 5 cylinder and 6 speed manual of course. I like the interior. It's roomy Enough and seems durable. I have mbtex with leather inserts in the front. I had thought the rear was leather for a while.

Where did you get your sds?. Can you flash control units and such? My central gateway went bad and my scanner detected the communication error but it can't flash new processors. It it's a Maxidas.
