Thanks, guys! I've barely been able to concentrate on work because I'm obsessed with this stupid car....

I definitely agree on the ability to sink cash fast. I thought I was getting a bargain with my SD, but ended up spending close to $11K over the past 4 years. Nothing major mechanically....motor mounts, alt, etc., but nothing inside. Most of what I've done was new AC, all new interior, window regulators,etc. I wanted to slowly bring it back to new and it looks fantastic, runs like a top. Down side is that I'll never get that money back out of it.

Goes without saying that would be the case with the 220, but I do think it might appreciate more than the 116 over time.

I'll see what falls off when I crank it tomorrow and, who knows, maybe it's my turn for that bargain car.....

Thanks for the tips.....I'll post tomorrow!
