Do keep in mind that the first $2400 was not the car's fault, but his wife's, who slid down some hill and mashed up the front end, so in a way, that bill should have never shown up in that article. The second, is arguable. Maybe he needed new floor boards or maybe not, but then again he could have done it for half the cost. Still the car is running 'like top'. And the gasoline smell could very easily be the fuel return line, which has a tendency to rust over time.....very easy to replace.

I agree with the rest of the guys, I wouldn't be taking car advise from some pencil pushers at NYT!!

Cheers,
SM
