"If it is possible for a car to choose its owner, I believe this car chose me"

* replaced radiator.
* replaced distributer (twice)
* leaks oil at head gasket.
General comments?
I was in the salvage yard looking for parts for my 240z when this little Acura called to me like a puppy. I brought her and had her towed to my garage. With the Vin number, I had a key cut and with a fresh Battery, she started right up. Full tank of gas too. I fixed the clutch and the items mentioned previously and she won my heart. I drive her exclusively and she has never let me down.
