I think you should get money back for having less than 25 sensors.

That is if you are stupid enough to fall for that warranty crap.

WOW. That looks exactly like the '72 220 I had back in '87. I called that color 'chocolate-milk'.
Hope it's in better shape than mine turned out to be. Mine had a bent frame, a cracked gas-tank, a worn-out steering-box, a bad power-brake booster, a dead AC, and assorted rust spots sprouting under the shiny paint.
I believe mine had that same kind of "leather" too!
No craigslist in those days.
After a year of driving & and spending about a grand to fix most of the flaws, I was lucky to get almost what I paid for it!

Happy Motoring, Mark

Does using Üro parts help accelerate the rate at which these cars turn into terds?

Yes. The proportional density of the cheap materials used in Uro parts and their increased atomic weights causes them to take on such mass as to become miniature black wholes. Oddly these black holes on attract money rather than other mass so much of this phenomenon is here to fore unexplained...

time consuming, I know, but without the steps the page will ultimately fail...
John - one could also use an image editing program (such as the free Irfanview) to easily reduce image sizes for upload...
