No I am not bragging. When I first acquired the car, on the drive home from the P/O the turbo blew. Oil smoke followed me 5 miles down the interstate, and you can imagine my thoughts as I pulled up in front of my house with my "new car". I've since replaced the turbo, turbo hoses, engine wiring harness, fuel pressure regulator, distributor, distributor cap/rotor/wires, idle air control valve, coolant temperature sensor, spliced some wires on the wiring harness that literally melted en route to Kansas from Maryland, bought new 195-60/15 tires, replaced O/2 sensor, distributor bracket, flame trap, had it towed four times, stitched up a seam-tear in the rear seat, fought with a stubborn passenger/side rear door for 6 months (finally got it open just this past week), replaced manual crank handle on sunroof, replaced broken or ugly trim pieces, replaced two rear lens covers, engine mounts, switched over to Mobil 1, did transmission flush and fill with synthetic as well and got one speeding ticket and finally paid it (with no points).

All I'm asking for is a simple pleasure. If I ever buy a new car again, it'll likely be a Volvo.
