Geri keeps looking at the MGs and triumphs at the
swapmeets... All I see is a pile of rust. But I think she would really enjoy
some little brit car one of these days. They sell for dirt cheap usually
too. I'd want to put something like an Ecotec drivetrain in it though. And
an auto. I spend more time and money repairing standards and am tired of
it... Crappy tiny clutches with springs that pop out and bad pressure plates
as well as poor quality throwout bearings. I am ending up spending more in
parts to fix the stick trans in the PT cruiser than an auto rebuild would
have cost. I guess that's what happens when you have Mercedes design the
engine and then have CHrysler and mitsubishi build it. Talk about a bad
combo, all are known for poor durability and lots of $repairs.
Got a thing in the mail... From a kia dealer. Says we'll
pay you top dollar for your 06 PT cruiser. Hmm. I'd rather have a KIA than
the PT.
