Thanks for the ride

The only thing is miss is the comfortable driver's seat and the very good climate control. I still have an 850, but that is relegated to local driving.

My 'new' car is an 08 diesel. It hurts to stop at the pump and fill up with 25 gallons at $4.00ea, but the ride is smooth, the engine is super quiet, the seats hurt after 3 hours, and the climate control takes 10-30 minutes to figure out how hot/cold it is inside.

IE, there is no perfect car. The new ones have too many computers, multiple fuse boxes, simplified parts made complex, automagic wipers for the metally retarded, run flat tires for the big spenders that don't know how to add air, and all of the repair parts have to be coded to the car????

Lots of luck. Every once in a while I see a good 60's car in the ads, I wonder if I spent $20,000 on it to fix it up would it be a reliable road machine? Same cost as new, but real steel.
