Thanks Robert . I will keep until that time as you suggested. Actually Im having alot of fun driving it now. Its been very dry and warm in dc so far so its been nice driving weather. A guy at the supermarket offered to buy it yesterday. I explained all of the problems Ive had and told him to call me in the spring, that I wanted to actually drive it for a while. he said he was very familiar with these cars and that I should expect to always have problems, but he was prepared for that.
