Yep, Drove her all the way back to Fredonia NY (45mi west of Buffalo). Got there, checked her out, new fuel filters and air filter and we were on the road. One caliper in the rear was toast (grinding a little the whole way) and one front locked up somewhere south of Albany ("do you smell brakes?" ... "SMOKE!") but it managed to free itself up. Had EZPass, so no real need to stop if you can hold it . 27mpgs all the way home, not bad for a car that was sitting for a few years and just took off. Thanks for not pushing the price up!
Cheers,
-M-

PS: We unhooked the rear suspension hydraulic lines and and just ran the pump through the reservoir. Worked great, but I think the POs ran it too long w/o fluid and the pump's shot anyway. Or it's the switch. Hence this thread...

Any Ideas Out There?
