When I bought this car it ran fair. After a tune-up,serpenten belt, exhaust,one sway bar pin,plug wires,vaccume hoses,brake pads and tires . It runs great no leaks I`ve put 42000 miles on it since I bout it in Aug.2009..But I would drive this car anywhere.Back in October of 2010 I took a little trip to Colorado stayed there for two months.It did better in the snow than I had expected.So boys and girls don`t be afraid to let your bird fly.Its good to let uhm stretch there wings.In Dec.2012 for my birthday slash christmas I plan to do a major rebuild motor,boby,suspesion.
