General comments?
All of the above had to be replaced and since I don't have the expertise to work on cars it was NOT cheap! I quit fixing things and have since bought a different car. It is still sitting in my front yard because I feel it as brought nothing, but trouble and an empty wallet. I refuse to even think about repairing anything else on it!
When I first got this car is was great!
Great acceleration, left almost anyone sucking dust, handled well even in the snow. I think I may have got a LEMON, I saw it in an add in the paper and bought it from a guy who I didn't know. I think he just made it barely run and then sold it.
