I've had it since around 96-97. Bought it with 44,000 miles--now has 48,000 on it. I don't really enjoy it anymore. I know my son will tho. Ever since he was little he's always wanted it. He's 28 now, so it's time to pass it on.

I asked the mechanic to look at it while he was changing the oil. So far it hasn't thrown it--yet.


Motor was rebuilt twice--not the fault of the car, due to 1 ****** mechanic and 1 sheisty POS. She's running good since I had to rebuild it myself.
I know I've posted this one before. That high rev at the end is the turbo kicking in and the flutter is the turbo. I have a K+N cone filter on it.
It gets squirrely when the turbo comes in, that's why all the steering wheel corrections. Haven't driven it in a long time tho, ever since 4th gear is slipping.

Tell him to put a bigger turbo on it and kick some ass!

If all it would take is for me to call you daddy, I can do that!
That’s awesome though. I’m sure he’ll care for it as much as you have. But probably drive it more.

Lol. As you know, it's so bad to let any vehicle sit. She needs some tlc to make her shine again. I'm confident in my boy and his skills.:)

The fuse blew for the right hand pwr receptacle on the center console. It's happened before, where I just replaced the fuse, but for some reason I now can't find the location of that damned fuse! Can someone point out to me which one it is. Tia.
