Hello,

I do not vist that site very often and was surprized to hear it was gone.

I tried just now and it seems OK. (Last Update: December 03, 2004, 14:13:44 Pacific Time by Kelly Smith - aka "RAVMAN)

My wife has a '97 Rav4 with 114k miles that she loves. The thing has been so reliable that it's almost anoying. I'm always fussing vith my Volvos while ignoring the Rav, and it just runs and runs. (not counting having the valve seals replaced at about 90k under the warranty she bought with the car)Sooner or later it will start acting up, then I'm in for it. Just looking in the engine bay makes my head hurt.

I say to her "I will buy you a 95 940/945, the best one we can find. You may have to be a little flexable with the color. I'll maintain it- all you have to do is put in the gas. Then sell the Rav and you keep the $$$." I figure she will be a lot safer and, in the long run, I will save a hell of a lot. So I get this look like I've just suggested we move to Siberia. Yeah- go figure.

Happy hollidays,
chuck
