"When r u going to junk that Stone Age Relic (85 300D) & break down & get a real car?"
Whenever I hear that question, I quietly demur, defer and desist to the person who says it. I'll be driving my Relic long after I see that person's car go into the Crusher..my 20 year 85 300D is:

1. Much more reliable. Except for the mistakes I make to it, the car is unfallible. Every feature works from the dash and console lighting to the power antenna to the AC that freezes your bolts off.

2. Much more safer than many front wheel drive vehicles where you will eat your engine in an accident.

3. Mechanically more sound. Every ball joint, caliper and rubber item on the undercarriage, including he bushings have been replaced. New struts front and back.

4. Has at least 300K ahead of it...

5. Has ageless styling. Soap bubbles are in now and when you go out to a Mall parking lot you can't differentiate bewteen an Intrepid, BMW or Escort. Before it was hugebodies and before that fins. Next it will be globes.

6. Easily repaired. After my last engine swap ( i made the mistake that caused the previous engine to knock) it dawned on me that I never checked the service manual once, or had to label a single bolt, wire or vacuum line.
