Yeah, I know there's a general attitude of the awesomeness of the SLS system. I agree, it's cool as hell, but as it ages it's just a super complicated system that leaks, makes a mess (the engine bay of my car looked like the Exxon Valdez thanks to what must have been a leaky tank or hose at some point). One of the cars I looked at had $6,000 in receipts for repairs to the SLS system over it's life, where it was rehabbed around 3 times. I just really don't want anything to do with it. As I put each part of it in a box, after having usually been bathed is a disgusting black and caustic hydraulic fluid, I breath a sigh of relief knowing I'll never have to touch that nightmare again. If anyone is so in love with it, I've packed everything up in a nice box (except the lines).
