no, just people complaining about "driving fast" when this car only wishes it could count higher than 60.

Using it as a winter beater sounds like a good home to you? Well, better than destruction derby, but still ...

I was almost tempted to buy it as a next challenge but having a different colored tailgate and tailgate spoiler and paint repairs to the front RH fender would drive me crazy. I would have to paint it and that is too expensive on a 400,000km car. Replacement panels are also hard to find as it is an unusual color which I have only seen twice. I love the color but rare. My friend just had her tailgate repaired and painted as well as the rear bumper and that was done very well but was $1700.

I am just glad someone else bought it as I would feel I had to rescue it and the 'boss' would have killed me!! :o :lol: :lol:
