There are 2 of them. The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has been in the family since new. This one was bought used as my first car. It is stashed away at garage awaiting repairs. It needs enough in repairs that I am probably better off replacing it or just parting with it altogether. But it is my first car. Too many memories.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
So here are the repairs it needs:
Oil pan is rusty, should be replaced before it takes a dump.
Only one power window works, and it isn't the driver's.
Front bearings are making a droning noise.
Needs an alignment pretty bad.
Wipers usually only swing part of the way, not enough to clean the whole window.
Washer fluid doesn't spray, which is a real pain in the winter when ice and salty road water mist builds up on the windshield. It's been a while since it has moved so I forget if it doesn't do anything at all or if the wipers at least still swing.
AC doesn't work. Kind of important on 90 degree Chicago days with 163% humidity when you have dark blue leather and a big green house and only one power window that works.
I'm hoping the bags for the rear air suspension aren't rotting and will be fine once I can afford to dump money into the car.
Hopefully I'll be able to afford to have some fun with it later on. I've always dreamed of some engine swap. I went from 6.8 V10 to supercharged 5.4 and at the moment I am pipe dreaming of the supercharged 5.8 out of the current GT500. All backed by a 6 speed manual of course. But until then, I am hanging on to it while I have space.
