Wow, it is obvious that you have spoiled her, but with a charming personality like that it is easy to see why. Sounds like she is possessed and that a total exorcism would be costly considering her evil ways.

I vote to part with her and advise that you erase all traces of her before you bring home a nice replacement.

I see a sweet 88 240 in your future or a later model if it does not have the 561 ECU. Try to find one with a pleasing personality that has been maintained by a loving owner and be prepared to pay a little extra for the right car. Expect to pay 1500-2500 depending on the market where you are (or travel to find one). These cars are a bargain for the price and if you find a nice one with 125-150,000 miles that has been cared for it should serve you for another 100,000 miles without taking food from your baby's mouth (congratulations, by the way). Find a good mechanic to check out your prospects (money well spent if the mechanic is any good) and maintain contact with the Brickboard for second opinions on decisions that have to be made.
