    I'll just relax and let the car take care of me. And a 1970 390 Javelin is one hell of a car dumb ass.

    Michael, I feel for you man. That is quite a laundry list of items although I don't know what length of time that list covers.

    Call it the Italian lotto, but so far my car has been very reliable. A couple of false check engine lights immediately after the last major service, but nothing else. There are a couple of other SoCal owners that I see every week or couple of weeks and their cars are running great too. One thing we all have in common is that we drive our cars every week without fail. One guy has about 40K miles on his, I have 44K on mine, and a third guy has 47K on his.

    Please utilize the EDIT function and add to your posts rather than making 8 separate posts, it's quite distracting.

    Thank you

    Are just that. Speedboats, lake homes, private planes, etc. If you"re in a place to afford one, buy it and have a wonderful time (and you will). If a totally impractical street legal race car that makes you breathless even standing still costs money it should be no shock.

    Without exception, you can find someone with a woeful tale about anything. If the fear of imperfection concerns one enough, then they should avoid all the items I mentioned. More peace of mind, less fun. Your decision.

    Just returned from a drive. I have a major due soon, and I hope I get to fund ten more.

    Check it out thoroughly and then buy it before it gets away.

    Watch out Mike. You should know that this is not the place for one's opinions. Those that do dare to have an opinion are immediately taken out and beaten sensless. :D I guess I am next. Let me know where I need to go for my whippin. ;)
